Mi promise a tu, mi landa

Mi promise a tu, mi landa ge-translati ex Vicente Costalago

I vow to thee my country	Mi promise a tu, mi landa
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,	mi promise a tu, mi landa, supra panto-ra
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;	holo e toto e perfekti, u servi de mi amo;
The love that asks no questions, the love that stands the test,	un amo qi face nuli qestio, un amo qi sta u proba,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;	qi loka epi u teo-tabla u maxi karo e u maxi boni;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,	un amo qi nuli-tem hesita, u amo qi paga u preci,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.	un amo qi face atresto u fini sacrifice.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,	E il es hetero landa, de qi mi pa audi pre longi-tem,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;	maxi karo a mu qi amo id, maxi magni a mu qi ski;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;	na posi ne numera id plu arme, na posi ne vide id Regi;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;	id forta es u pistio kardia, id auto-lauda es sufero;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,	e anima pos anima e in silento id plu resplende limita kresce,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.	e id plu mode es plu mode de gluko, e panto id plu via es pace.
