English translation of song/chant?

Every time that one of the miners comes to the surface and at various points over the past few weeks people have started singing/chanting something. It sounds like a football(soccer) chant and I 'think' it may be at the end of the national anthem. I can't actually even make out the Spanish words they are singing to help you but within a minute-or-so of the miners coming up it's sang.

Thanking-you!

    i'm not sure what you're talking about but i have heard them saying:

    chi chi chi le le le los mineros de chile!

    its just like cheering them one, literally means chi chi chi le le le (country name) the chilean miners !

    They're saying Chi! Chi! Chi! Le! Le! Le! Los mineros de Chile! The miners of Chile!!

    OCT 13th Should be International Miners Day to honor all who help keep our societies running, as Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe says.

    I think I heard the chant correct. If so, it was:

    "Vamos, vamos Chilenos, porque esta noche tenemos que ganar,"

    That translated is simply:

    "Come on, come on Chileans, tonight we have to win."
