Happy Burns Night

 
 
Je ne fais habituellement pas dans la poésie, mais, grâce à Timmy lors d'une dégustation de whisky, j'ai pû découvrir ce poème/chanson, ôde aux Highlands, patrie de Robert Burns dont il est très fier.

My Heart's in the Highlands, Robert Burns ,1789, chanté et mis en musique par Ross Harris.
 
 
 
 
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.

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'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.
