MY HEART’S IN THE HIGHLANDS

 

 

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 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;
Farewell to the forests 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, wherever I go

 

 

 

 

 

 

МОЄ СЕРЦЕ В ВЕРХОВИНІ

(Переклад Миколи Лукаша)

 

Моє серце в верховині і душа моя,

Моя дума в верховині соколом буя,

Моя мрія в гори лине наздогін вітрам,

Моє серце в верховині, де б не був я сам.

 

 

Будь здорова, верховино, любий рідний край,

Честі й слави батьківщино, вольності розмай!

Хоч іду я на чужину, повернуся знов,

Моє серце в верховині і моя любов.

 

 

Прощавайте, сині гори, білії сніги,

Прощавайте, темні звори й світлії луги!

Прощавайте, пущі дикі й тіняві гаї,

Прощавайте, буйні ріки й бистрі ручаї!

 

 

Моє серце в верховині і душа моя,

Моя дума в верховині соколом буя,

Моя мрія в гори лине наздогін вітрам,

Моє серце в верховині, де б не був я сам.

 

 

 

My handsome Nelly

Оnce I lov'd a bonnie lass,
Aye, and I love her still;
And whilst that virtue warms my breast
I'll love my handsome Nell.

As bonnie lasses I hae seen,
And mony full as braw,
But for a modest gracefu' mien
The like I never saw.

A bonnie lass, I will confess,
Is pleasant to the ee,
But without some letter qualities
She's no a lass for me.

But Nellie's looks are blithe and sweet,
And what is best of a'
Her reputation is complete,
And fair without a flaw.

She dresses aye sae clean and neat,
Both decent and genteel;
And then there's something in her gait
Gars ony dress look weel.

A gaudy dress and gentle air
May slightly touch the heart,
But it's innocence and modesty
That polishes the dart.

'Tis this in Nelly pleases me,
'Tis this enchants my soul
For absolutely in my breast
She reigns without control. 

Моя люба Неллі

(Переклад Миколи Лукаша)

Любив я дівчину колись,

Люблю її й тепер,

Любитиму завжди і скрізь,

Поки живу - не вмер.

 

Багато знаю я дівчат

Вродливих, як одна,

Та не траплялося стрічать

Такої, як вона.

 

Дівоча знаджує краса

Людей у всі часи,

Але краса - то ще не все,

Ще треба й до краси.

 

Усе, що в дівчині ціню,

В моєї Неллі есть:

I врода, й серце, і душа,

I добра слава, й честь.

 

Немає в неї пишних шат

I дорогих прикрас,

Та краща всіх вона стократ,

У що б не одяглась.

 

Чарує око пишнота,

Багатства щедрий дар,

Але душевна чистота

Сильніший має чар.

 

За це я Неллі вподобав

I щиро полюбив,

За це я серце їй віддав

Одній навік-віків.

A Red Red Rose

 

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June; 
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
 

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:
 

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
 

And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while! 
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile. 

 

 

 

Червона, червона троянда

 

Моя любов - червоний жар

Троянди у саду.

Моя любов - мелодія,

Солодка, як в меду.

*

Така красива, мила, ти

Й закоханий так я,

Тебе любитиму, поки

Не висохнуть моря.

*

Поки не висохнуть моря

Й розтопить сонце лід;

Тебе любитиму, поки

Життя розтане слід.

*

Моя любове, прощавай,

Прощай кохання хмель.

До тебе, мила, повернусь

Із тридев'ять земель.
