La Espero

Here you can get the anthem of esperantists.
Last century Zamenhoff wrote the following poem:

La Espero: Esperanto anthem

EsperantoEnglish
En la mondon venis nova sento,A new feeling came to the world
tra la mondo iras forta voko;Across the world a strong call marches
per flugiloj de facila vento Clinging an easy wind
nun de loko flugu �i al loko.It is already flying from place to place.
Ne al glavo sangon soifantaNot the blood thirsty sword
�i la homan tiras familion:The human family is attracted to
Al la mond' eterne militanta To the ever fighting world
�i promesas Sanktan harmonion.It promises Saint Harmony.
..
Sub la sankta signo de l'Espero,Under the sacred sign of Hope
kolekti�as pacaj batalantoj,Peaceful fighters gather
kaj rapide kreskas la aferoAnd the thing grows quickly
per laboro de la Esperantoj.With the work of those who hope.
Forte staras muroj de miljarojThousand years old Wall stand High
inter la popoloj dividitaj,Between divided peoples
Sed dissaltos la obstinaj barojBut stubborn walls will burst away
per la Sankta Amo disbatitaj.With Saint Love into pieces.
..
Sur ne�trala lingva fundamento,On a neutral language fundament
komprenante unu la alianUnderstanding one another
la popoloj faros en konsentoThe peoples will make of their common accord
unu grandan rondon familianA great family circle.
Nia diligenta kolegaroOur industrious fellows
en laboro paca ne laci�os,Will not get tired of their peace work
�is la bela son�o de l'Homaro.Till the beautiful dream of Manhood
Por eterna ben' efektivi�os.Will take place for eternal good.

-- L. L. Zamenhof
