[ENGLISH TRANSLATION] [Verse 1] Mist lies over Glencoe in the morning The rocks are wet with rain On the island, beneath the mountains The sea is breathing White sand lies along the shores of Harris Dark lochans lie between the mountains In the silence, I am listening To the voice of the land through the wind [Pre-Chorus] They come from every corner From across the wide world For the mountains, for the sea But it is the people they love [Hook] I came to see the mountains I left with the warmth of the people You may leave Scotland... But Scotland will never leave you [Chorus] Scotland, Scotland, my heart As fierce as the winds of the oceans As gentle as a hand upon my shoulder Your beauty is in my eyes Your people are in my heart You may leave Scotland, but Scotland will never leave you [Verse 2] On a narrow road, in the evening rain A door opened, there was a light inside There was an empty place beside the fire A friendly voice said, "Come in" We did not know one another But by the end of the evening I was no longer a stranger I was among friends [Pre-Chorus] Across the wide world People love Scotland For the mountains and the sea And for the people who welcomed them [Hook] You may leave Scotland... But Scotland will never leave you [Chorus] Scotland, Scotland, my heart As fierce as the winds of the oceans As gentle as a hand upon my shoulder Your beauty is in my eyes Your people are in my heart You may leave Scotland, but Scotland will never leave you [Bridge] I saw people without a word Looking at the mountains There were tears in their eyes And smiles upon their faces When they departed across the sea They took a piece of Scotland with them In every town, in every country Her name was still alive [Chorus] Scotland, Scotland, my heart As fierce as the winds of the oceans As gentle as a hand upon my shoulder Your beauty is in my eyes Your people are in my heart You may leave Scotland, but Scotland will never leave you [Outro] I came to see the mountains I left with the warmth of the people You may leave Scotland... But Scotland will never leave you
