they say that man is mighty,

都说人力无穷，

he governs land and sea;

支配着陆地与大海，

he wields a mighty scepter

行使着至高无上的王权，

o’er lesser powers that be;

统治着弱小的生灵。

but a mightier power and stronger,

然而还有更强大的力量，

man from his throne has hurled,

将人从宝座上掀起，

and the hand that rocks the cradle

是那双轻推着摇篮的手，

is the hand that rules the world

主宰着整个世界。
