left-wing anthem
The Internationale is a French song composed in 1871, originating in France and written in the French language [3][5][10]. It is a musical work and composition belonging to the genre of the revolutionary song, and has been further characterised as a hymn, anthem, protest song, and propaganda song [1][4][6][11]. The work takes its name from the International Workingmen's Association [9].
The song has achieved remarkable international reach, as evidenced by the numerous editions and translations it has generated across many languages and traditions [8]. Its title has been rendered in a wide variety of languages, including Belarusian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Georgian, and Polish, among others [12]. It should be noted that The Internationale is a distinct work and should not be confused with the organisation known as the International [2].
