Ⅰ We’re the mighty watchful eye, Guardians beyond the blue, The invisible front line, Warfighters brave and true. Ⅱ Boldly reaching into space, There's no limit to our sky. Standing guard both night and day, We’re the Space Force from on high.		壹警惕戒慎双眼锐，蓝天之上的守卫，无影无形之前线，英勇战士保真诚. 贰勇往直前向太空，吾等苍芎无界限，日日夜夜站守卫，概日凌云太空军。	壹我们是强大的守望眼，蓝天之外的卫士，无影无形的前线，战士忠诚而勇敢。贰勇往直前向太空，我们的苍穹无界限。昼夜不停守岗位，我们是天外的太空军团。
