    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.

    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

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

    Let the struggle session commence.

    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
