It’s the Internationale, but I don’t know the language.

OK, I found the language by checking these translations (it was fairly easy):

But I’m not giving away the answer so other people can have some fun :)

based on that l’internationale is the song of socialism/communism and based on the beats and words, i will guess albanian.

i’m gonna guess albanian. definitly middle eastern sounding music, but the language doesn’t fit arabic hebrew or aramit.

Yes, it’s Kurdish.

The language is indeed Kurdish and the song is the Internationale. The recording comes from this site, which has recordings of the Internationale in quite a few other languages.
