This Scottish folk ballad tells a story of longing, belonging, and eternal connection to the Highlands. Gently woven with two Gaelic phrases – Mo chridhe sa Ghàidhealtachd, mo dhachaigh shìorraidh ("My heart in the Highlands, my eternal home") and Tillidh mi dhachaigh, tro ghaoth is tuil ("I shall return home, through wind and tide") – the song honors the spirit of Gaelic culture and the soul’s pull toward its roots. Proud, emotional, and timeless.

My Highland Home (Mo chridhe sa Ghàidhealtachd)

Lyrics:

Mo chridhe sa Ghàidhealtachd, mo dhachaigh shìorraidh

I've wandered far and traveled wide
Seen the world from side to side
Cities grand and valleys deep
New places where I lay to sleep

But the wind calls me home
To the hills where I belong

For I have just one place I call my own
My Scotland, my Highland home
No other land can fill my soul
Like the sight of those hills, strong and bold

The bustling streets and golden sand
The whispering winds of every land
They fill me up, they make me smile
But home lies across the miles

For I have just one place I call my own
My Scotland, my Highland home
No other land can fill my soul
Like the sight of those hills, strong and bold

Where the heather blooms on hills so green
And rivers flow in a silver sheen
No matter where my feet may roam
It's Scotland's call that leads me home

Thairis air a’ chuan, tha m’ anam a’ seinn
Guth nam beann, cha tig e gu crìch

And in the stillness, I close my eyes
The mountains rise beneath the skies
Their echo holds me safe and warm
My spirit dances in their form

The city lights, they shine so bright
And starry skies in the quiet night
But nothing holds the strength, the grace
Of Highland winds upon my face

I live, I breathe, but still I yearn
For the glens to which I'll return

For I have just one place I call my own
My Scotland, my Highland home
No other land can fill my soul
Like the sight of those hills, strong and bold

Tillidh mi dhachaigh, tro ghaoth is tuil
Anns an Ghleann, lorg mi sìth
