Die Internationale [English translation]

Wake up, accursed of this Earth

Which are still always forced to hunger!

Justice, like embers in the crater's hearth

Now with might pushes to breakthrough

Make a clean sweap of the oppressors!

Army of slaves, awaken!

Being a nothing is no longer bearable

To become everything troop in droves!

People hear the signals!

On to the last fight!

The Internationale

Fights for human right!

People hear the signals!

On to the last fight!

The Internationale

Fights for human right!

No higher beeing will salvage us,

No God, no Emperor, nor Tribune.

To redeem us from misery,

Only we ourselves can do!

Empty words: the rights of the poor!

Empty words: the duties of the rich!

Immature we are called and menials,

No longer now suffer the ignominy !

People hear the signals!

On to the last fight!

The Internationale

Fights for human right!

People hear the signals!

On to the last fight!

The Internationale

Fights for human right!

In the city and the country, you labourin man

We are the strongest of the parties

The dalliers push aside!

This world must belong to us

Our blood shall not anymore be the ravens,

Or the mighty vultures muck!

Only when we have driven them out,

The sun will shine incessantly!

People hear the signals!

On to the last fight!

The Internationale

Fights for human right!

People hear the signals!

On to the last fight!

The Internationale

Fights for human right!
