The Internationale | Poem

 


 
 
 

THE INTERNATIONALE



Arise ye prisoners of starvation
Arise ye wretched of the earth
For justice thunders condemnation
A better world's in birth
No more tradition's chain shall bind us
Arise ye slaves, no more in thrall
And the world shall rise on new foundations
We have been naught, we shall be all

Chorus:

        'Tis the final conflict
        Let each one be to his place
        And the Internationale
        Shall be the human race



Chorus in French:

        C'est la lutte finale
        Chacun a son lieu demain
        Et l'Internationale
        Sera le genre humain



Chrous in Spanish:

        Agrupémonos todos
        Por la lucha final
        El género humano
        En la Internacional
