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.
