SCOTLAND


My Heart's in the Highlands

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.

Robert Burns
(1759-1796)

Que poema lindo!!! :)
É realmente um lugar lindíssimo de vales verdes e montanhas, daqueles onde só costumamos ver nos postais. Quem dera um dia eu pudesse lá ir e poder sentir toda aquela natureza, pois o meu sonho é morar num lugar assim! Quem sabe um dia... :)

Paz e Bem!
