Further more it should be pronounced thus: <em>all-lang-sin</em>, I know how important doing it right will be to you! If you were after a literal-ish translation it would be Days Gone By (which is scarily close to Days Of Our Lives a song by that band you like, can't remember their name right now but they had an outrageous homosexual from Zanzibar singing for them and a failed astronomer on banjo?). Secondly did you know that bagpipes are called Dudelsack in Germany? Seem like the sausage munching Krauts have tickled my funny bone!
