the old english version sounds alright, but for some reason there's like no recordings so you only get billy bragg's shitted up version

Fuck I want this now.

You obviously haven't heard the Latin version then

This is legit the only good English version.

The problem with the English version is the lyrics never really fit the melody.

This is a mashup of all 3 versions with the best flowing verses of the lot. Not perfect or really great, but it's honestly the best I think you could come up with, with the 3 popular versions out there.

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!

So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The International working class
Unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The International working class
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.

So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The International working class
Unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The International working class
Unites the human race.

And so begins the final drama,
In the streets and in the fields.
We stand unbowed before their armour,
We defy their guns and shields!
When we fight, provoked by their aggression,
Let us be inspired by life and love.
For though they offer us concessions,
Change will not come from above!

So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The International working class
Unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The International working class
Unites the human race.

This ain't bad really.

In the streets and in the fields.
We stand unbowed before their armour,
We defy their guns and shields!
When we fight, provoked by their aggression,
Let us be inspired by life and love.
For though they offer us concessions,
Change will not come from above!

Was this in the IWW version?. I like the almost militaristic sounding lyrics. Goes well with the previous verse about the soldiers.

Saying "International working class" just doesn't feel right. It makes sense because we don't have a real communist international anymore but it doesn't roll off the tounge like "internationale"

holy shit camarade, are you trying to make my heart bleed?

That's the worst of all. Church pronunciation and bad singers.

I like the Portuguese version. The first version in this video is great:
youtu.be/2cucWrDasCU

Yep it's a tear jerker as well. Largely because it's simply such a beautiful melody as well.

OP's pic is lovely, where can I get more posters like it?

A mi me gusta en EspaƱol.

Will I get lynched if I say that my favorite version of the Internationale is in Esperanto?

No, comrade we don't lynch people.
But you have won a free train ride to a voluntary work camp for betterment of glorious workers' paradise.

It's painful watching all these people be so enthusiastic about the Internationale when knowing none of them are actual revolutionaries.

the chinese version is good
