Il testo della Farewell

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 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.

Farewell to the highlands, farewell to the north,
The birth-place of valour, the country of worth;
Wherever i wander, wherever i rove,
The hills of the highlands for ever i love.
