Come you ranks of labor
来吧 劳动的队伍
Come you union core
来吧 工会的核心
And see if you remember
看看你是否还记得
The struggles of before
往昔抗争的岁月
When you were standing helpless
当你孤立无援时
On the outside of the door
被拒之门外的时候
And you started building links
你们开始锻造
On the chain
团结的锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
You started building links
你们开始铸造联结
On the chain
团结的锁链
When the police on the horses
当骑警们
Were waitin' on demand
随时待命出击
Ridin' through the strike
策马穿过罢工队伍
With the pistols in their hands
手枪紧握在手
Swingin' at the skulls of many a union man
挥舞着击向无数工会成员的颅骨
As you built one more link
当你又锻造了一环锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
As you built one more link
当你又锻造了一环锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
Then the army of the fascists tried
法西斯军队试图
To put you on the run
将你们赶尽杀绝
But the army of the union
但工会的力量
They did what could be done
他们竭尽所能
Oh the power of the factory was greater
工厂的力量曾如此强大
Than the gun
胜过枪炮
As you built one more link
当你又锻造了一环锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
As you built one more link
当你又锻造了一环锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
And then in 1954 decisions finally made
直到1954年 决议终于尘埃落定
The black man was a risin' fast
黑人同胞迅速觉醒
And racin' from the shade
冲破黑暗奔向光明
And your union took no stand
而你们的工会却袖手旁观
And your union was betrayed
你们的工会背弃了誓言
As you lost yourself a link
当你们失去团结的力量
On the chain
团结的锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
As you lost yourself a link
当你们失去团结的力量
On the chain
团结的锁链
And then there came the boycotts
随后抵制运动兴起
And then the freedom rides
自由乘车运动接踵而至
And forgetting what you stood for
却忘了你们最初的信念
You tried to block the tide
妄图阻挡时代的洪流
Oh the automation bosses were laughin' on the side
自动化资本家们在一旁冷笑
As they watched you lose your link
当他们看着你失去联结
On the chain
团结的锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
As they watched you lose your link

On the chain

You know when they block your trucks boys
当他们的卡车被阻挡时
By layin' on the road
横卧在道路上
All that they are doin' is all
他们所做的一切就是全部
That you have showed
你们已展现的力量
That you gotta strike you gotta fight
必须罢工 必须抗争
To get what you are owed

When you're building all your links

On the chain
团结的锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
When you're building all your links
当你们铸就所有联结
On the chain

And the man who tries to tell you

That they'll take your job away
声称要夺走你饭碗的家伙
He's the same man who was scabbin' hard
正是昨日拼命破坏罢工的工贼
Just the other day
就在不久之前
And your union's not a union 'til
若不将这等败类驱逐
He's thrown out of the way
工会便不成其为工会
And he's chokin' on your links
让他被你们铸就的锁链
Of the chain
生生扼住咽喉
Of the chain
生生扼住咽喉
And he's chokin' on your links

For now the times are tellin' you

And you're fighting for the same thing

The jobs that will be gone

Now it's only fair to ask you boys
现在我要问你们一个问题
Which side are you on

As you're buildin' all your links
当你们铸造着所有锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
As you're buildin' all your links
当你们铸造着所有锁链
On the chain
团结的锁链
