Esperanto Anthem, Le Espero

The anthem to the language of Esperanto. Song name is La Espero (The hope).

Lyrics: En la mondon venis nova sento
Tra la mondo iras forta voko
Per flugiloj de facila vento
Nun de loko flugu ĝi al loko

Ne al glavo sangon soifanta
Ĝi la homan tiras familion
Al la mond' eterne militanta
Ĝi promesas sanktan harmonion

Sub la sankta signo de l'espero
Kolektiĝas pacaj batalantoj
Kaj rapide kreskas la afero
Per laboro de la esperantoj

Forte staras muroj de miljaroj
Inter la popoloj dividitaj
Sed dissaltos la obstinaj baroj
Per la sankta amo disbatitaj

Sur neŭtrala lingva fundamento
Komprenante unu la alian
La popoloj faros en konsento
Unu grandan rondon familian

Nia diligenta kolegaro
En laboro paca ne laciĝos
Ĝis la bela sonĝo de l'homaro
Por eterna ben' efektiviĝos

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Into the world came a new feeling
Through the world goes a powerful call
By the wings of a gentle wind
It shall now fly from place to place

Not to the sword thirsting for blood
Does it draw the human family
To the world eternally at war
It promises sacred harmony

Under the sacred sign of Hope
Gather the warriors of peace
And this thing quickly grows
By the labors of those who hope

The walls of a thousand years stand firm
Between the divided peoples
But the stubborn barriers will crumble
Knocked down with sacred love

Based on a neutral language
Understanding one another
The people will agree to make
One great family circle

Our diligent colleagues
In peaceful labor will never tire
Until the beautiful dream of humanity
For eternal good is realized

On December 15th (Zamenhofs 150th birthday, day after this video was uploaded) Google changed their logo to include an Esperanto flag in it! Thank you everyone that emailed Google for it to happen.

Something went terribly wrong here. Try again or take it off.

[LionHeart9619]

@jayloganyt I didn't see anything wrong.

[Chikotka]

kial ĝi estas malaktuala?

[catadeluxe]

@LionHeart9619 In fact, all you have to do, is take the background song, and put it about 2 1/2 seconds earlier. I'm SURE you can hear it. Good job though, I like that it is the only DH video in/about Esperanto!

Dear LionHeart, maybe you don't s e e anything wrong here, but if you listen carefully (or even not so carefully) you will h e a r that there are two versions of the song playing at the same time here, but totally not in synch! Don't you hear it??
