My heart's in the Highlands 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 birthplace of valor, the country of worth! Wherever I wander, wherever I go, The hills of the Highlands forever I love.

В ГОРАХ МОЕ СЕРДЦЕ (перевод С.Я.Маршака) В горах мое сердце... Доныне я там. По следу оленя лечу по скалам. Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу. В горах мое сердце, а сам я внизу. Прощай, моя родина! Север, прощай, - Отечество славы и доблести край. По белому свету судьбою гоним, Навеки останусь я сыном твоим! Прощайте, вершины под кровлей снегов, Прощайте, долины и скаты лугов, Прощайте, поникшие в бездну леса, Прощайте, потоков лесных голоса. В горах мое сердце... Доныне я там. По следу оленя лечу по скалам. Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу. В горах мое сердце, а сам я внизу!
