[_Ju_]

It means times gone by. Robert Burns, when he wrote the poem was about remembering "auld aquaintence" and "auld lange syne" (times past).

Giving due regard to "English form and translation" (crikey, I can remember the text on the Modern Languages exam paper!) it would translate comfortably to mean "old time's sake".

[Humerous Vegetable]

Syne is "since".
