"The Internationale" (French: "L'Internationale") is a left-wing anthem. It has been a standard of the socialist movement since the late nineteenth century when the Second International adopted it as its official anthem. The title arises from the "First International", an alliance of workers which held a congress in 1864. The author of the anthem's lyrics, Eugène Pottier, an anarchist, attended this congress.
Australian English Lyrics:
Arise ye workers from your slumbers!
Arise ye prisoners of want!
For reason in revolt now thunders,
And at last ends, the age of can't.
Now away with all your superstitions,
Servile masses arise! arise!
We`ll change forthwith the old conditions
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
Then come comrades rally!
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale
unites the human race!
[2x]
No saviours from on high deliver,
No trust we have in prince or peer;
Our own right hand the chains must shiver.
Chains of hatred, greed and fear.
'Ere the thieves will out with their booty
And to all give a happier lot,
Each at his forge must do his duty
And strike the iron while it's hot!
Then come comrades rally!
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale
unites the human race!
