quote [ "The Internationale" (French: "L'Internationale", [l???.t??.na.sj?.nal(?)]) is a left-wing anthem.

The title arises from the "First International", an alliance of workers which held a congress in 1864. The author of the anthem's lyrics, Eugène Pottier, an anarchist, attended this congress. In turn, the song was later set to an original melody composed by Pierre De Geyter, a Marxist.

It is one of the most universally translated anthems in history. ]
