THERE IS POWER IN A UNIONUNIOSSA ON VOIMAA
Would you have freedom from Wage slavery,
Then join in the grand Industrial band;
Would you from misery and hunger be free,
Then come, do your share, like a man.
Jos tahdot, ett' vapaus orjien ois,
käy joukkohon, suurunioon.
Jos tahdot, ett' kurjuus poistuisi pois,
lailla miehen sä käy taistohon.
There is power there is power in a band of workingmen,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One Industrial Union Grand.
Siinä voima, on voima, kun kaikin astutaan
taisteloon, unioon.
Se on voima, on voima, jolla hallitaan,
maan aarteet me voitetaan.
Would you have mansions of gold in the sky,
And live in a shack, way in the back?
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly,
And starve here with rags on your back?
Sä taivaanko aarteista uneksit ain'
ja päällä maan oot puutteissa?
Sä enkelin siipiä toivotko vain
ja rääsyihin tääll' tyydyt vaan?
There is power there is power in a band of workingmen,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One Industrial Union Grand.
Siinä voima, on voima, kun kaikin astutaan
taisteloon, unioon.
Se on voima, on voima, jolla hallitaan,
maan aarteet me voitetaan.
If you've had 'nuff of the "blood of the lamb"
Then join in the grand industrial band;
If, for a change, you would have eggs and ham,
Then come, do your share, like a man.
Jos kyllin jo karitsan verta sä joit,
käy joukkohon, suurunioon.
Jos täydestä vatsasta vain unelmoit,
lailla miehen sä käy taistohon.
There is power there is power in a band of workingmen,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One Industrial Union Grand.
Siinä voima, on voima, kun kaikin astutaan
taisteloon, unioon.
Se on voima, on voima, jolla hallitaan,
maan aarteet me voitetaan.
If you like sluggers to beat off your head,
Then don't organize, all unions despise.
If you want nothing before you are dead,
Shake hands with your boss and look Wise.
Jos hurttien ruoska sua huvittaa vaan,
oot jästipää, myös siksi jäät.
Jos sulla mieltä ei parempaa,
käy pomoas' turpailemaan!
There is power there is power in a band of workingmen,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One Industrial Union Grand.
Siinä voima, on voima, kun kaikin astutaan
taisteloon, unioon.
Se on voima, on voima, jolla hallitaan,
maan aarteet me voitetaan.
Come, all ye workers, from every land,
Come, join in the grand industrial band;
Then we our share of this earth shall demand.
Come on! Do your share, like a man.
Raatajat kaikki nyt kautta maan
käy joukkohon, suurunioon.
Maan aarteista osamme vaaditaan,
lailla miehen siis taistohon.
There is power there is power in a band of workingmen,
When they stand hand in hand,
That's a power, that's a power
That must rule in every land
One Industrial Union Grand.
Siinä voima, on voima, kun kaikin astutaan
taisteloon, unioon.
Se on voima, on voima, jolla hallitaan,
maan aarteet me voitetaan.
