Are you sure it's OK to use this English translation? I don't see any sign that it's in the public domain. It would be easy enough to do an original translation if necessary. --Zundark, 2001 Nov 3

I sent an email to Dave Coffin asking for permission and he said it is indeed in the public domain. Chuck Smith

The English translation is based on a public domain translation by Dave Coffin which can be found at http://www.thenationalanthems.com/_private/NotSovereignNations/esperanto.htm.

[edit] The translation

Regarding the English translation: why is the word ben' translated as "good"? Clearly it comes from the verb beni (not the adjective bona, whose nominal form would be bon' ) which means to bless, and perhaps "blessing" or something to that effect would better reflect the original version.

You'd have to take that up with the translator; translation is not a science, but an art, and folks will always disagree with another translator's choices. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:47, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
