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:Solidarity forever,Solidarity forever,Solidarity forever,For the union makes us strong!

“Solidarity Forever!”Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might?Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight?For the union makes us strong!
CHORUS:Solidarity forever,Solidarity forever,Solidarity forever,For the union makes us strong!
