Debout les damnés de la terre
Debout les forçats de la faim
La raison tonne en son cratère
C'est l'éruption de la fin
Du passe faisons table rase
Foules, esclaves, debout, debout
Le monde va changer de base
Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout

C'est la lutte finale
Groupons-nous, et demain
L'Internationale
Sera le genre humain

Upp, trälar uti alla stater, som hungern bojor lagt uppå
Det dånar uti rättens krater,
snart skall uppbrottets timma slå.
Störtas skall det gamla snart i gruset.
Slav, stig upp för att slå dig fri!
Från mörkret stiga vi mot ljuset,
från intet allt vi vilja bli.

Upp till kamp emot kvalen.
Siste striden det är,
ty Internationalen
till alla lycka bär.

Tate, uetaru mono yo,
ima zo hiha chikashi.
Sameyo, waga harakara,
akatsuki wa kinu.
Bogyaku no kusari tatsu hi,
hata wa chi ni moete,
umi wo hedatsu warera,
kaina musubi yuku.

Iza tatakawan, iza
furuitate, iza!
Aa warera Intanashonaru,
warera ga mono.

I had once a chinese version on a vinyl single, about 1970 ... anyway the original is the french one from Eugene Pottier.
And yes, they do still play it at the MayDay demonstrations.

Arise ye workers from your slumbers

Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

So comrades, come rally

And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction

On tyrants only we'll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They'll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We'll shoot the generals on our own side.

No saviour from on high delivers

No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E'er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we'll strike while the iron is hot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adaptation of Charles H. Kerr translation from the original, for The IWW Songbook (34th Edition)

Arise ye pris'ners of starvation
Arise ye wretched of the earth
For justice thunders condemnation
A better world's in birth!
No more tradition's chains shall bind us
Arise, ye slaves, no more in thrall;
The earth shall rise on new foundations
We have been naught we shall be all.

(Refrain):
'Tis the final conflict
Let each stand in his place
The International Union
shall be the human race.
'Tis the final conflict
Let each stand in his place
The International Union
shall be the human race.

We want no condescending saviors
to rule us from their judgement hall
We workers ask not for their favors
Let us consult for all.
To make the theif disgorge his booty
To free the spirit from its cell
We must ourselves decide our duty
We must decide and do it well.

The law oppresses us and tricks us,
the wage slave system drains our blood;
The rich are free from obligation,
The laws the poor delude.
Too long we've languished in subjection,
Equality has other laws;
"No rights," says she "without their duties,
No claims on equals without cause."

Behold them seated in their glory
The kings of mine and rail and soil!
What have you read in all their story,
But how they plundered toil?
Fruits of the workers' toil are buried
In strongholds of the idle few
In working for their restitution
the men will only claim their due.

We toilers from all fields united
Join hand in hand with all who work;
The earth belongs to us, the workers,
No room here for the shirk.
How many on our flesh have fattened!
But if the norsome birds of prey
Shall vanish from the sky some morning
The blessed sunlight then will stay.

(For reference, the music of the song was written by Pierre Degeyter)

Sounds more apt to Russian peasants pre-1920's than the French. Reads more like it anyway.

Reassuring to see, that some people still reflect on revolution.

edit: FBM, believe Djur, the original is french. Created for the Commune of Paris, has it been adapted soon by communists and socialists all over the world. From 1922 on it was the national hymn in the Sovjet Union.

This was written to celebrate the Paris commune after its defeat.

Fri fra lenker, fri fra bur,
Anti faksjonen reiser seg.
Uten håp, uten tro,
De svake faller snart
Som en storm fra ukjente kyster,
Som en morder som sniker seg frem,
Krig på alle fronter,
Krig i sjelen dyp,
Krig som legger øde,
De som ikke hører.

That was a norwegian poem that i found, um... Inside my brain one minute ago...

S.T, it's not that I don't believe him, just that the words sound more apt to revolutionary, socialist and communist Soviet Union. Hence.

EDIT: Because I don't want to make a new post. Boots: no I don't, but I believe that in a country where you can incite three rebellions in short sucession, the people probably weren't that happy IMAGE(smile000.gif) .

What the heck do you think the Paris Commune was? Though if you think "peasants" were behind the Russian Revolution, all of this must, understandably, be vexing and confusing.

People are not all peasants. If you do not understand this, you cannot understand the Russian Revolution or indeed Marxism.

Indeed, one might argue that it was the peasantry who crushed the Paris Commune or at least that they were used for such a purpose by the bourgeoisie.

I'm wondering if it isn't about time that we refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots again. We're studying the 1960's and 1970's in my U.S. History class right now, and I have to think that we're ready for another social upheaval pretty soon. Perhaps this generation is too cynical, though; maybe it will be the next one that will do it.

Työn orjat, sorron yöstä nouskaa
maan ääriin kuuluu kutsumus.
Nyt ryskyin murtuu pakkovalta,
tää on viime ponnistus.
Pohja vanhan järjestyksen horjuu
orjajoukko, taistohon.
Alas lyökää koko vanha maailma
ja valta meidän silloin on.

Tää on viimeinen taisto,
rintamaamme yhtykää
niin huomispäivänä kansat
on veljet keskenään.

Työmiehet, kyntäjät ja kaikki
työkansa, joukko nälkäinen -
maa meidän on ja olla täytyy,
vaan ei laiskain lurjusten
Nälkä meill' on aina vieraanamme
vaan kuin korpit haaskoiltaan
me kerran kaikki karkoitamme
ja päivä pääsee paistamaan.

Tää on viimeinen taisto... jne.

The Finnish version.
