The international workers' anthem is The Internationale, sung around the world on International Labor Day, May 1, May Day. We all can and should learn the first verse and chorus and enjoy the variations in the many languages of the workers of the world.

English (American version):
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 chains shall bind us,
Arise ye slaves, no more enthrall!
The earth shall rise on new foundations,
We have been naught, we shall be all.
Chorus (2x):
'Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in one's place;
The international workingclass,
Shall be the human race.

Spanish:
Arriba, parias de la Tierra.
En pie, famélica legión.
Atruena la razón en marcha,
es el fin de la opresión.

Del pasado hay que hacer añicos,
legión esclava en pie a vencer,
el mundo va a cambiar de base,
los nada de hoy todo han de ser.

Agrupémonos todos,
en la lucha final.
El género humano
es la internacional.

French (original language of this anthem)
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 (bis)
L'Internationale
Sera le genre humain

German:
Wacht auf, Verdammte dieser Erde,
die stets man noch zum Hungern zwingt!
Das Recht wie Glut im Kraterherde
nun mit Macht zum Durchbruch dringt.
Reinen Tisch macht mit dem Bedranger!
Heer der Sklaven, wache auf!
Ein nichts zu sein, tragt es nicht langer
Alles zu werden, stromt zuhauf!

Volker, hort die Signale!
Auf, zum letzten Gefecht!
Die Internationale
Erkampft das Menschenrecht

Russian:
Вставай, проклятьем заклеймённый,
Весь мир голодных и рабов!
Кипит наш разум возмущённый
И в смертный бой вести готов.
Весь мир насилья мы разрушим
До основанья, а затем
Мы наш, мы новый мир построим, —
Кто был ничем, тот станет всем.
Припев:

|: Это есть наш последний
И решительный бой.
С Интернационалом
Воспрянет род людской! :|

Polish:
Wyklęty, powstań ludu ziemi,
Powstańcie, których dręczy głód,
Myśl nowa blaski promiennymi
Dziś wiedzie nas na bój, na trud.
Przeszłości ślad dłoń nasza zmiata,
Przed ciosem niechaj tyran drży!
Ruszamy z posad bryłę świata,
Dziś niczym, jutro wszystkim my

Turkish:
Uyan artık uykudan uyan
Uyan esirler dünyası
Zulme karşı hıncımız volkan
Bu ölüm-dirim kavgası
Yıkalım bu köhne düzeni
Biz başka alem isteriz
Bizi hiçe sayanlar bilsin
Bundan sonra herşey biziz.
Bu kavga en sonuncu
Kavgamızdır artık
Enternasyonal'le
Kurtulur insanlık
Bu kavga en sonuncu
Kavgamızdır artık
Enternasyonal'le
Kurtulur insanlık

Brazilian Portuguese:
De pé ó vítimas da fome
De pé famélicos da terra
Da idéia a chama já consome
A crosta bruta que a soterra
Cortai o mal bem pelo fundo
De pé, de pé, não mais senhores
Se nada somos em tal mundo
Sejamos tudo ó produtores.

Refrão:
Bem unidos façamos
Nesta luta final
Uma terra sem amos
A Internacional

Hindi:
Jago Jago Jago Bhukhe Bandi,
Utho Aey Garib Gulam,
Majdur Liya Hai Dilme Thani,
Aaee Hai Mukti ki Paygam,
Torho Jirna Purane Jhute Biswas,
Utho Jago Jago Janata,
Bhulao Ye Gam Aur Garibi,
Ladke Jung Diye Apni Balidan.

Ye Akhri Jung Hai Comrade,
Aao Mile Hum Eksath,
International, Milaenge Manabajat.
Ye Akhri Jung Hai Comrade,
