La Espero

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Espero

La Espero is the anthem of the Esperanto language community . The text was written by Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof . The text is sung to a melody by Félicien Menu de Ménil . The music itself never received official status. The text was originally sung to a melody by the Swede Claes Adolf Adelsköld from 1891 . Other versions exist by Achille Motteau from France and the Polish composer Andrzej Koszewski .

A new melody was created in 2013 by Olivia Irmengard Grassner and Fabian Sievers for the gymnastics tour "TUI Fireworks of Gymnastics - Esperanto", which was organized by the Lower Saxony Gymnastics Association .

original
En la mondon venis nova sento,
tra la mondo iras forta voko;
by Flugiloj de facila vento
now de loko flightu 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.
Prose translation
A new feeling came
into the world, a strong reputation goes through the world;
with wings of a light wind
he now flies from place to place.
He
does not draw the human family to the bloodthirsty sword ;
He
promises sacred harmony to the ever-warring world .

Peaceful fighters gather under the sacred sign of hope ,
and the cause quickly grows
through the work of the hopeful.
Strong walls of millennia stand
between the separated peoples;
but the stubborn barriers will be
broken , smashed by holy love.
On a neutral linguistic foundation,
one understanding the other,
the peoples will
form a large family group by mutual agreement .
Our hard-working colleagues
will not tire in peaceful work
until the beautiful dream of mankind
is fulfilled to an eternal blessing.
