"The Internationale" ("L'Internationale" in French) is a widely sung left-wing anthem. It has been one of the most recognizable and popular songs of the socialist movement since the late 19th century, when the Second International (now the Socialist International) adopted it as its official anthem. The original French refrain of the song is C'est la lutte finale / Groupons-nous et demain / L'Internationale / Sera le genre humain. (English: "This is the final struggle / Let us group together and tomorrow / The Internationale / Will be the human race.") "The Internationale" has been translated into many languages. It is often sung with the hand raised in a clenched fist salute and is sometimes followed (in English-speaking places) with a chant of "The workers united will never be defeated". "The Internationale" has been celebrated by socialists, communists, and anarchists.
The original French words were written in June 1871 by Eugène Pottier (1816–1887, previously a member of the Paris Commune) and were originally intended to be sung to the tune of "La Marseillaise".Pierre De Geyter (1848–1932) set the poem to music in 1888. His melody was first publicly performed in July 1888 and became widely used soon after.
Away
Internationally
Away
Chorus:
Away
I just wanna take you everywhere that I go
Girl I want you in a plane in a seat right next to mine
Get witchu right after my shows
Baby I could give you ways
Come on girl, lets fly
Away
Internationally
Now I don't usually meet under these circumstances, but...
You're like the perfect girl with the perfect skin, so...
I'm just too scared to know that I'm gonna leave without you girl (?)
You can call me a man
Bridge 1:
Because I know
That this aint the kind of love that could just take
One night and then it's over
Girl I know
I aint never fell in love so quickly
Baby please come with me
All you need is my love in a bag
Chorus
Girl I can think of only one and no one else and dance to you
Were like the perfect team
No matter where I go you gotta roll
I bet they know about you and I'm not leaving without you girl (?)
And I don't need to read your mind
Bridge 2:
Because I know
That you want to see the world
And I could say that all I need is
One night and then well be closer
And I know
I aint never fell in love so quickly
Baby please come with me
