my heart is not here

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here

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

A 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 birthpace 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

A chasing the wild deer, and following the roe

My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go
