Мое сердце - в горах, мое сердце - не с вами: За оленем бежит и крадется за ланью; Мое сердце - в горах, вы не верьте глазам; Мое сердце - в горах, где бы ни был я сам. До свидания, горы, мой Север, прощай! Ты - достоинства, чести и доблести край! И куда бы скитанья меня ни вели, Горы, вам признаюсь в бесконечной любви. Мое сердце - в горах, мое сердце - не с вами: За оленем бежит и крадется за ланью; Мое сердце - в горах, вы не верьте глазам; Мое сердце - в горах, где бы ни был я сам.

• 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 birth-place of valour, the country of worth; Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands for ever I love. 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.
