Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942 - Liverpool, England) is a British singer, musician and songwriter, who first came to prominence as a member of The Beatles. Linda McCartney established herself as a professional photographer in the rock and roll scene, and met her second husband, Paul McCartney, while photographing groups for a book titled Rock and Other Four Letter Words in 1967. They met at a night club called the Bag o' Nails in May of 1967 and married in 1969. After the breakup of the The Beatles in 1970, Paul began teaching Linda to play keyboards, and included her in the lineup for his new band, Wings. Although Linda was shunned by music critics for her amateur singing and playing skills, Wings garnered several Grammy Awards for their music, and became one of the most successful bands of the 1970s.

I'm lookin' everywhere I go
Lookin' for a home
In the heart of the country
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Lookin' for a home
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Want a horse, I want a sheep
I wanna get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home
In the heart of the country
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Livin' in a home
In the heart of the country

Where the holy people grow
Heart of the country
Smell the grass in the meadow
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Want a horse, I got a sheep

The song "Heart of the Country" by Paul and Linda McCartney is a dream of finding the perfect home, in the midst of nature and surrounded by greenery. The singer is longing for a peaceful and serene life, away from the chaos and crowds of the city. He is searching for a place where he can feel a sense of belonging and tranquility, and where he can live in communion with nature. He is ready to leave everything behind and move to this idyllic place, where he can sleep soundly, surrounded by the sounds of the countryside.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of the heart of the country, where people live in harmony with the land and where the grass smells sweet in the meadow. The love for nature is embodied in the lyrics, which describe the desire to own a horse and a sheep, to live in a comfortable home and to be surrounded by beauty. The "holy people" referred to in the song could be interpreted as those who appreciate and respect the environment and who live a life that is in tune with the natural world. Therefore, the song is not only a depiction of the singer's personal longing for a peaceful home, but also a call for a return to a more natural way of living.

Olho por cima, olho por baixo
Olho pra todo lugar que vou
Procurando por uma casa
No coração do campo
Eu vou, Eu vou
Eu vou contar pra todos que conheço
Procurando por uma casa

Aonde as pessoas sagradas crescem
Coração do campo
Sinta o cheiro da grama no pasto

Quero um cavalo, quero uma ovelha
Quero dormir bem
Vivendo numa casa

Vou contar a todos que conheço
Vivendo numa casa
