The Internationale in Yiddish

The Internationale is a left-wing anthem written by the anarchist Eugène Pottier. It has been a standard of the socialist movement since the late 19th century. I've created a web page (click here) with the words for the first couple of verses in Yiddish. The page has links to play either the Yiddish version of the Internationale or just the music (if you want to sing along yourself!). Also, if you hover the mouse cursor over any Yiddish word on the page, it will display the English translation of the word.

Note: For an English version of The Internationale, here's a version by Billy Bragg: The Internationale
