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 roeMy 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 roeMy heart's in the highlands wherever I go.
