O Siem, we are all family
O Siem, we're all the same
O Siem, the fires of freedom
Dance in the burning flame

Siem o siyeya, those who do and do not know
Siem o siyeya, take the hand of one close by

And watch the walls come tumbling down

O Siem, we're all the same
O Siem, the fires of freedom
Dance in the burning flame
O’Siem means expressing joy when meeting with family and friends.
