Happy Mayday!

[Murica!]

So comrades come rally
For this is the time and place
The international ideal
Unites the human race!

[TNF]

>using Billy Bragg's lyrics

comrade do you even left

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 in thrall!
The earth shall rise on new foundations:
We have been nought, we shall be all!
  'Tis the final conflict;
  Let each stand in his place.
  The International working class
  Shall be the human race!
  'Tis the final conflict;
  Let each stand in his place.
  The International working class
  Shall be the human race!

Well it's a 150 year old French song, it's logical it translate differently into other languages and it have been updated some times.

"The International working class
  Shall be the human race"

Doesn't really sound that good today. So I get why some people want to update the song, it's just a sign of a living movement.

BTW I sung the Danish version in the morning, and I must admit every different version have it own charm.

Phew, the version Marx and Engels used has not yet been posted in this thread? Let's change this as quick as possible!

Völker hört die Signale,
Auf zum letzten Gefecht!
Die Internationale
Erkämpft das Menschenrecht!

A (rudimentary) English translation:

Peoples hear the signals,
On to the last fight!
The Internationale
Fights for the human right!
