imagine not being able to recognize the internationale

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

I’ve not heard it, just looked it up, absolute banger.

English

Original French

Pete Seeger also did a bilingual version with the original, more literal, translation from the french. Bragg's translation is much less direct but sings better as a consequence.

And here's a Chinese version

The Internationale has been translated into well over a hundred languages and it's always recognizable.

Audio quality isn't that great, but I'm partial to this English version (also relatively faithful to the French lyrics)

I like the story Bragg tells about how his new version came to be here

Yeaah, just a minor mistake.

This is now an internationale appreciation thread

The Internationale is so good, definitely my favourite socialist song. It's not even like my favourite musically, but it just hits different somehow, it feels more unifying. Also the fact it's been translated into pretty much every language in existence and had different local spins put on it is great

It's the closest thing we have to an anthem for the human race. soviet-heart

One of my favorite versions of the Internationale is sung in Chinese by a cop band.

Let the struggle session commence.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

The International is supposed to be sung by a crowd, not a single person with a microphone.

am i struggle sessioning correctly?

The greatest version of all time: 1941 in Red Square, red army soldiers parading past Stalin heading directly to join the fighting on the outskirts of Moscow. Everyone's using the Internationale to get pumped

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
