This is a song. Millions of Americans will hear this song on New Year’s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (《友谊天长地久》). It is the traditional music played during the New Year’s celebration.

Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends. The words “Auld Lang Syne” means “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first.
