Lyrics:
Get up, hungry and cold slave!
Get up, people suffering all over the world!
Full of blood is boiling, fighting for truth!
The old world is out of water, slaves, get up!
Don't say that we have nothing, we want to be masters of the world!
This is the last struggle, unite until tomorrow,
Internalsonnel must be realized!
This is the last struggle, unite until tomorrow,
Internalsonnel must be realized!
Creative background:
187 1 year, a war broke out in eastern Prussia, France, which was called the Franco-Prussian War in history. When the French were defeated, Pu Jun came to Paris at the gates. The French government bowed its knees to suppress the domestic people.
In March of the same year, the government forces clashed with the Paris civil armed forces "National Guard", which led to the outbreak of the workers' uprising in Paris. The uprising workers soon occupied the whole city and drove away the bourgeois government. Soon, the people elected their own political power-the Paris Commune.
Subsequently, the bourgeois government launched an attack on the Paris Commune. 187 1 May 2 1 From May 28th, commune soldiers fought fiercely with the enemy who invaded the city, and more than 30,000 commune soldiers died, which is called "May Bloody Week". On the 28th, Paris fell and the Paris Commune ended in failure.
Shortly after the failure of the commune, Eugè ne Pottier, one of the leaders of the commune, wrote the poem "International Union of Workers". This poem is sung in the tune of La Marseillaise.
1888, French worker composer Pierre Degate wrote a tune for the Internationale, and the creation of the Internationale was completed.
