My heart's in the highlands, my heart is not here;

 

My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;

 

Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe

 

My heart's in the highlands wherever i go.

 

Farewell to the highlands, farewell to the north!

 

The birthplace of valour, the country of worth;

 

Wherever i wander, wherever I rove,

 

The hills of the highlands for ever I love.

 

Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow!

 

Farewell to the straths and green valleys below!

 

Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods!

 

Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods!

 

My heart's in the highlands, my heart is not here;

 

My heart's in the highlands, a-chasing the deer;

 

Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe

 

My heart's in the highlands wherever I go.
