When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
But the union makes us strong.

(Chorus)

It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;
Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made;
But the union makes us strong.

(Chorus)

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
That the union makes us strong.

(Chorus)

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater than the might of armies ^{[note 1]}, multiplied a thousand-fold.
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong.

(Chorus)

Chorus:
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
For the union makes us strong.

当成立工会的愿望在工人血液流淌，
天底下就没有比这更加强大的力量，
虽然一个人的力量都掀不起风和浪，
但是工会给我力量。

（副歌）

我们开垦大片草原建起城市和楼房，
我们开辟矿山铺设铁路建起了工厂，
我们如今却要流落其间忍受着饥荒，
但是工会给我力量。

（副歌）

他们腰缠万贯全靠攫取我们的血汗，
但离开我们的劳动世界将陷入黑暗，
我们能够获得自由让他们不再猖狂，
只要工会给我力量。

（副歌）

我们手中的力量超过了他们的金矿，
强过千军万马强过万吨梯恩梯当量，
我们将建立新世界在旧社会废墟上，
只因工会给我力量。

（副歌）

副歌：
团结一致直到永远，
团结一致直到永远，
团结一致直到永远，
因为工会给我力量！ ^{[note 2]}
