歌词
Highlands
Well my heart’s in the Highlands gentle and fair
噢，我的心在高地（源自Robertn Burns的诗歌《我的心在高地》），温柔而合理
Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air
金银花在原始森林的空气里开放
Bluebelles blazing where the Aberdeen waters flow
蓝铃花在阿拉丁水流中闪耀
Well my heart’s in the Highland
而我的心在高地
I’m gonna go there when I feel good enough to go
当我觉得我足够好时，我将去到那儿
Windows were shakin’ all night in my dreams
梦里的窗户摇了一整晚
Everything was exactly the way that it seems
一切都是它们该有的样子
Woke up this morning and I looked at the same old page
今早起来，看着同样老旧的篇章
Same old rat race
同样老旧的无意义的竞争
Life in the same old cage
同样老旧的牢笼里的生活
I don’t want nothing from anyone, ain’t that much to take
不向任何人索求什么，也无所需求
Wouldn’t know the difference between a real blonde and a fake
不知真假金发女郎有何区别
Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery
感觉像是在神秘世界的囚犯
I wish someone would come and push back the clock for me
希望有人前来为我倒流时光
Well my heart’s in the Highlands wherever I roam
无论漫步何处，我的心都在高地
That’s where I’ll be when I get called home
当回家的讯息响起，那是我将是所在之处
The wind, it whispers to the buckeyed trees in rhyme
风，它低声对七叶树讲述着韵律
Well my heart’s in the Highland
而我的心在高地
I can only get there one step at a time
我只能一步一步到那儿
I’m listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound
听着尼尔·杨，我得调高音量
Someone’s always yelling "turn it down"
有人总嚷嚷着"别那么响"
Feel like I’m drifting
有种漂流之感
Drifting from scene to scene
从一处漂流到另一处
I’m wondering what in the devil could it all possibly mean?
想知道那到底意味着什么？
Insanity is smashing up against my soul
疯癫正拍打着我的灵魂
You can say I was on anything but a roll
你可以说我万事不顺
If I had a conscience, well, I just might blow my top
若我有良知的话，我可能会怒发冲冠
What would I do with it anyway

Maybe take it to the pawn shop
可能把它带到当铺
My heart’s in the Highlands at the break of dawn
破晓时，我的心在高地
By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan
在美丽的黑天鹅湖畔
Big white clouds like chariots that swing down low
大朵白云如双轮敞篷马车一般低空漂浮
