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, where I go

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birthplace of valour, the country of worth!

 Wherever I wander, wherever 1 rove,

The hills of the Highlands for ever I love

      Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow.

Farewell to the straths and green valleys bellow,

 Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods.

Farewell to the torrents and long-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 1 go.

В горах мое сердце

В горах моё сердце...Доныне я там.

 По следу оленя лечу по скалам

 Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу.

 В горах моё сердце, асам 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 моё сердце.. .Доныне я там.

 По следу оленя лечу по скалам

Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу.

 В горах моё сердце, а сам я внизу.

Tartan is the criss-cross pattern of coloured squares that you see on a kilt, and a beautiful, complex design which has hundreds of varieties.
