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\u2019s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart\u2019s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart\u2019s in the Highlands wherever I go.
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.
My heart\u2019s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart\u2019s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
A-chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart\u2019s in the Highlands wherever I go.<\/em><\/p>
\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nDivine Music from Heaven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Divine voice of David James<\/a> (countertenor), and organ play of Christopher Bowers-Broadbent<\/a>.
This music is from Heaven.<\/em> In my opinion it is one of the very best interpretations of Arvo P\u00e4rt’s “My Heart’s in the Highlands”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>
