Debout, les damnes de la Terre, debout, les forcat de la faim!
La raison, tonne en son eratere: c'est l'eruption de la fin,
Du passe faisons table rase, foules d'escalves, debout, debout!
Le monde va changer de base: nous ne somme rien, soyons tout!

C'est la lutte finale, groupons nous et demain,
L'union syndical sere le genre humain.


(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 naught, we shall be all.

'Tis the final conflict, let each stand in their place;
The International Union shall be the human race!)

Mike, The Everett Citizen

Debout! Debout!
