Talitha MacKenzie - Chí Mi Na Mórbheanna

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?
