不要把自己的命運交給給這些人
Don't give yourselves to these men,

這些像機器一樣思想機械毫無感情的人

你們不是機器，你們不是牛，你們是人！

在這個世界人們將不會失業
a world that will give men a chance to work,

它會給青年人更好的未來，老人也老有所養
that will give youth a future and old age security.　

那些畜生們對我們承諾過的
Promising these things, brutes have risen.

全都是謊言！他們沒有實現那些諾言　永遠都不會！
But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!
