+
+This is my rough translation of [L.L. Zamenhof's "La
+Espero"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Espero), commonly used as
+the anthem of the Esperantist movement, into toki pona. It should mostly match
+the rhythm and rhyme of the original Esperanto version.
+
+> pilin sin li kama lon ma mute,
+> kalama li tawa sama waso,
+> nasin ni la, jan li open kute,
+> ona li tawa lon sike laso.
+> 
+> wile ona la, jan pi ma sike
+> li wan kepeken utala ala.
+> sona li pini e wile ike,
+> li pali e pilin pona wawa!
+> 
+> jan li pilin: kama li ken pona,
+> kulupu ona li kama wawa,
+> o kama suli tan pali ona,
+> wile pona li wawa lon lawa!

+English translation:

+> in its desires, people of the globe

+> people feel: the future can be good,

+>
+> from big walls, communities are restrained,
+> people are divided and hold evil desires.
+> but the sacred love of the speakers
+> removes the borders of the globe!
+>
+> this community sends a language
+> (which is) united and has the same power in all countries.
+> united people, break the restraints,
+> and form a circle in the community (made) from work!
+>
+> community, keep working hard!
+> send your sacred desire:
+> everyone's good desires, come (true)!
+> create a new human community!
