Heart in the Highlands



Snow falls, covering the ice
The wind buffets the tips of dense trees
A shield is splendid on the shoulder of a brave man

Chasing the wild dear, and following the roe
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go

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

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North
The birth-place of valour, the country of worth

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

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I rove

Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right!

Our heart is in the Highlands
We unite, stand up and fight

Our heart is in the Highlands
We unite to fight

For the kingdom of freedom
Everyone pure in his heart
Yes, we stand (Stand!) on mighty land
We will stand (Stand!) till the end

Farewell to the mountains high covr'd with snow
Go to war (War!)
Farewell to the Straths and green valleys bellow
Go to war (War!)
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods

Fight, fight, fight!
