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 birth-place 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 vallies below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
