Lyrics for the Miami University Alma Mater

ENGLISH

Old Miami from thy hillcrest,
Thou hast watched the decades roll;
Generations questing from thee,
Sturdy hearted, pure of soul.

Old Miami! New Miami!
Days of old and days to be;
Weave the story of thy glory,
Our Miami, here’s to thee!

Our Miami, you were founded
In our nation’s early days;
Now we join with generations
In this song of love and praise.

Old Miami! New Miami!
Days of old and days to be;
Weave the story of thy glory,
Our Miami, here’s to thee!

MYAAMIA

aapweetaawi myaamionkiši
nakaaniaki meehkweelimakinciki
peemihkawiaanki miisaahaki

Let’s return to the place of the Myaamia.
We remember the old ones.
We have left our tracks everywhere.

Old Miami! New Miami!
Days of old and days to be;
Weave the story of thy glory,
Our Miami, here’s to thee!

niiloona eehkwa waahi (oowaaha)
sakinihkiinitiitaawi
nipwaantiitaawi
aapweetaawi myaamionkiši

We (excl) are still here.
Let’s take each other by the hand.
Let’s learn from each other.
Let’s return to the place of the Myaamia.

Old Miami! New Miami!
Days of old and days to be;
Weave the story of thy glory,
Our Miami, here’s to thee!

FRENCH

Vieux Miami, de ta crête,
Tu as vu le temps passant.
Pendant que tes fils sont sortis,
Forts du cœur et purs de l’âme.

Vieux Miami, nouveau Miami,
À venir et autrefois,
Fais l’histoire de ta gloire,
Vieux Miami, vive-toi.

Vieillir dans ta splendeur simple,
Toi la calme, et eux l’orage,
Tu leur donnais de la joie
Et ta force soutenait leurs bras.

Vieux Miami, nouveau Miami,
À venir et autrefois,
Fais l’histoire de ta gloire,
Vieux Miami, vive-toi.

Reste-toi un phare constant,
Tours de pourpre sous le ciel;
Chercherons toujours ton aide,
Ton pouvoir [ne] mourra jamais.

Vieux Miami, nouveau Miami,
À venir et autrefois,
Fais l’histoire de ta gloire,
Vieux Miami, vive-toi.

BAHASA INDONESIA

Sesepuh Miami di atas puncak
Kau pandang ta’un berganti
Generasi yang kau bentuk
Hati k’uat jiwa suci

Miami Silam Miami baru
Hari lampau dan esok
Anyam crita kebesaranmu
Miami kami untukmu

Miami kami lahir saat
Negara masih muda
Skarang gen’rasi mau bersatu
Di lagu cinta dan pujian

Miami silam Miami baru
Hari lampau dan esok
Anyam crita kebesaranmu
Miami kami untukmu
