My heart’s in the Highlands

By Robert Burns

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 birthplace 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 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.

В горах мое сердце (перевод Тарасовой Ольги)

В горах мое сердце – оно не в груди,

И знает оно все оленьи следы.

Лети за косулей вслед, сердце, лети!

В горах мое сердце, а сам я в пути.

До встречи, Шотландия – дом мой, уют,

Здесь доблесть навеки нашла свой приют;

И где бы ни странствовал я как герой,

Всегда я любил лишь край свой родной.
