"My Heart's in the Highlands" is a 1789 poem by the Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)
____________________

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; (=ree)
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.

Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below; (=breed dal)
Farewell to the forrests and wild-hanging woods;
Farwell 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
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe;
My heart's in the Highlands, whereever I go.

I learned about this piece while watching The Great Beauty and this is the best rendition on Youtube. I am hypnotized by it, the longing, and sorrowful tone. I come back regularly to watch and listen. ♥

Arvo Pärts genious is here taking a step westwards to meet the genious of Robert Burns and the genious of Malgorzata Priebes voice.

Beautiful interpretation! I'm very grateful to have known the Arvo Pärt's music. The first was "Tabula rasa".
From Brazil!

[staffanolofsson]

This has been my musical exercise every day since some time. It cleanes my soul from unnecessary fat and colesterole and shapens my focus on the eternal issues. My EKG stays stable due to this music. Thank you Arvo and Malgorzata.

[staffanolofsson]

Also Błażej Musiałczyk on organ must have a big compliment for this. Without his separate tones, so strong and so alone in this church, this feeling would never have entered.

[polinareads]

Как это волшебно завораживает.
Слушаю уже не знаю который раз.
И не уверена, что последний:)❤

[Moribus_Artibus]

I feel like Im up in the Scottish highlands just listening to this

Fenomenalny utwór i wykonanie! Serce wznosi się ku wyżynom, ku Bogu! Bardzo, bardzo dziękuję Pani, organiście oraz wszystkim, którzy się do tego przyczynili; a już na pewno - Arvo Part - mistrz muzyki mistycznej <3 Ad maiorem Dei gloriam

Beautiful, congrats. The heart recognizes the true poetry and there's no bigger one, than the one that express love for the creator, GOD !

[shin-i-chikozima]

In this performance,
all is far superior splendor.

Especially
the comfort of her singing voice is off the charts, and beyond compare
