Against the waves, with our swords in our hands
Against the sea, with our backs to the walls
Against distress, in the presence of our enemies
Against the storms, roaring at our faces

cry rang out throughout the skies
beckon, the flight of the cranes

The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains

Was isch das drängeli stürm i üsem innerste?
Was isch das plange wo euse blick gäg ufe zieht?
Was isch de klang wo dur die schwarzi wulche bricht?
Was verspricht mir de klang vo däre harfe?

Es rüäefe hallt vo wiit her dür de wind
verheissig, am kranich sin schrei

 [bad word] vo de bärge
D'stimm vo de alpe, [bad word] vo dehei
S'lied vo de bärge, de klang i mim härze

De stimm treit vom wind es zeiche zu mer

L'appel des montagnes
Ehyo ehyo ehyo ehyo
Le cri de nos âmes

L'appel des âmes
Ehyo ehyo ehyo ehyo
Le chant dans nos coeurs

Le chant des montagnes
