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 passé faisons table rase
Foule esclave 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.
C'est la lutte finale, groupons-nous et demain,
L'Internationale sera le genre humain.
Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers
Arise ye criminals of want.
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
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 Comrades come rally, and the last fight let us face.
The Internationale unites the human race.
Then Comrades come rally, and the last fight let us face.
The Internationale unites the human race.
No saviour from on high delivers;
No trust have we in prince or peer.
Our own right hand the chains must sever
Chains of hatred and grief and fear.
Only then will thieves share out their booty
And to all give a happier lot;
We at this forge must do our duty
And strike the iron while it's hot.
Then Comrades come rally, and the last fight let us face.
The Internationale unites the human race.
Then Comrades come rally, and the last fight let us face.
The Internationale unites the human race.
