- 英文原文
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, 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.

- 中文譯文
當成立工會的曙光照在工人的胸膛，
它將激發出那令人難以置信的力量，
雖然每個人的力量都掀不起風和浪，
但是工會給我力量。
（副歌）
我們開墾牧場建起城市和樓房，
我們鋪設鐵路連接座座礦山和工廠，
我們如今卻要徘徊其間忍受著饑荒，
但是工會給我力量。
（副歌）
他們從不勞動卻能夠腰纏萬貫，
但是離開我們雙手世界將陷入黑暗，
我們終將重獲自由把他們全都推翻，
只要工會給我力量。
（副歌）
我們手中的力量強過他們的金礦，
強過千軍萬馬強過萬噸梯恩梯當量，[註 1]
我們將建立新的世界在這片廢墟上，
只因工會給我力量。
（副歌）
副歌：
團結一致直到永遠，
團結一致直到永遠，
團結一致直到永遠，
因為工會給我力量！[註 2]
