What exactly is that short chant the miners/rescuers kept repeating?

Asked by FutureMemory (24753points) October 17th, 2010

It sounds like a sports or military-style chant. Can anyone translate?

Unfortunately I can’t find a clip of it, but they show it on CNN every 10–15 mins.

I think it’s probably the equivalent of an American screaming “USA USA…”

According to Google Translate, it means “Chi – Chi – Chi, Le – Le – Le! Miners of Chile!”.
