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 forever I love.

Farewell to the mountains high covered wi’ 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.
