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 valor, the country of worth;   

        Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

        The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

¡¡

        Farewell to the mountains high cover¡¯d 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.
