"La Espero" ("The Hope") is a poem written by L. L. Zamenhof (1859-1917), the initiator of the Esperanto language. The song is often used as the Anthem of Esperanto, and is now usually sung to Music composed by Félicien Menu De Ménil .

Listen to MP3 audio by the Esperanto Band , Akordo .






La Espero

En la mondon venis nova sento,


tra la mondo iras forta voko;


per flugiloj de facila vento

7
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.


The Hope

Into the world came a new feeling,


through the world goes a powerful call;


by means of wings of a gentle wind


now let it fly from place to place.


Not to the sword thirsting for blood


does it draw the human family:


to the world eternally fighting


it promises sacred harmony.


Under the sacred sign of the hope


the peaceful fighters gather,


and this affair quickly grows


by the labours of those who hope.


The walls of millennia stand firm


between the divided peoples;


but the stubborn barriers will jump apart,


knocked apart by the sacred love.


On a neutral language basis,


understanding one another,


the people will make in agreement


one great family circle.


Our diligent set of colleagues


in peaceful labor will never tire,


until the beautiful dream of humanity


for eternal blessing is realized.
