Cantem, cantem la joia indefinida
de veure el Sabadell entre els millors
després d'uns anys de lluita decidida
han assolit ressò nostres colors.

Alcem la copa així, ben alta
en honor del futbol de Sabadell.
Ciutat aimada que somriu i canta
donant goig i prestigi al joc més bell.

Honor al Sabadell! Honor à la Ciutat!
i visca el nostre club sempre estimat!

Cantem, cantem al Club de tanta història
forjada amb tants neguits i tants afanys.
Lluitant per assolir aquesta glòria
que ens ha portat l'esforç tants i tants anys.

Alcem la copa així, ben alta
en honor del futbol de Sabadell.
Ciutat aimada treballadora
ben units el més jove i el més vell.

Honor al Sabadell! Honor à la Ciutat!
i visca el nostre Club sempre estimat!
