Peace among us, war to the tyrants!

The Internationale (1864)

There are no supreme saviors
Neither God, nor Caesar, nor tribune.

The Internationale (1871)

They killed her with their chassepot,
With their machine guns,
And rolled her with its flag
In the clay.
And the mud of the fat hangmen
thought they had prevailed.
And with all that, Nicolas,
The Commune is not dead.

Elle n'est pas morte ! (1886)

This is the final struggle
Let us group together, and tomorrow
The Internationale
Will be the human race

The Internationale (1864)

Stand up, damned of the Earth
Stand up, prisoners of starvation
Reason thunders in its volcano
This is the eruption of the end.
Of the past let us make a clean slate
Enslaved masses, stand up, stand up.
The world is about to change its foundation
We are nothing, let us be all.

The Internationale (1864)
