I don't think I've ever heard the full lyrics to the song, only the same few phrases repeated in a drunken stupor.
Such a beautiful song deserves better than this.
The lyrics are easy...
May all acquaintance be forgot, and la la klala laaaa...
And all acquaintance be forgot lala, lala auld lang sign...

“I love the tune, and the song evokes strong feelings, but what do the words “Auld Lang Syne” even mean?”
“Old Long Seen”, like somebody you haven’t seen in a long time and won’t see again for a long time. It’s from Old English, which corresponds closely to German.
