| Lyrics: | English Translation: |
| O chì, o chì | Oh I see, oh I see |
| Sèist: | Chorus: |
| O chì, chì mi na mórbheanna | Oh I see, I see the great mountains |
| O chì, chì mi na córrbheanna | Oh I see, I see the lofty mountains |
| O chì, chì mi na coireachan | Oh I see, I see the corries |
| Chì mi na sgoran fo chèo | I see the peaks beneath the mist |
| Chì mi gun dàil an t-àite 's an d'rugadh mi | I see straight away the place of my birth |
| Cuirear orm fàilt' 's a' chànain a thuigeas mi | I will be welcomed in a language which I understand |
| Gheibh mi ann aoidh agus gràdh 'n uair ruigeam | I will receive hospitality and love when I reach there |
| Nach reicinn air thunnaichean òir | That I would not trade for a ton of gold |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| Chì mi ann coilltean, chì mi ann doireachan | I see woods there, I see thickets there |
| Chì mi ann maghan bàna is toraiche | I see fair, fertile lands there |
| Chì mi na féidh air làr nan coireachan | I see the deer on the ground of the corries |
| Falaicht' an trusgan de chèo | Shrouded in a garment of mist |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
|
Now the trumpet summons us again not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need not as a call to battle, though embattled we are but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle year in and year out rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation a struggle against the common enemies of man tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself... |
|
| Beanntaichean àrda is àillidh leacainnean | High mountains with lovely slopes |
| Sluagh ann an còmhnuidh is còire cleachdainnean | Folk there who are always kind |
| 'S aotrom mo cheum a' leum g'am faicinn | Light is my step when I go bounding to see them |
| Is fanaidh mi tacan le deòin | And I will willingly remain there for a while |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| O chì, chì mi na mórbheanna | Oh I see, I see the great mountains |
| O chì, chì mi na córrbheanna | Oh I see, I see the lofty mountains |
| O chì, chì mi na mórbheanna | Oh I see, I see the great mountains |
| O chì, chì mi na córrbheanna | Oh I see, I see the lofty mountains |

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance north and south, east and west that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? |
