It is our voice.
Your voice.
Join us in song.
In unison we chant.
For no reason but joy.

Gxi estas la plej potenca afero en la mondo.
Gxi estas nia vocxo.
Via vocxo.
Kantadu kun ni.
En unisono ni cxantas.
Sen kialo krom gxogo.

spreecamper:English is a language full of shortcuts, the German example you used is awkward in English because we have words like "except" and "but" (it can be used similar to except) which is basically "...than ____ only." That's why it may seem awkward to you. To be honest, I'm more worried about the Esperanto, haha.JesMan:For no reason but joy.Its shorten form in English, isn't? Should it be more accurate 'For no other reason than joy only?' In German: 'Einfach nur um Spaß zu haben'

That's why it may seem awkward to you.I was not my intention to mark regarding English phrase 'awkward'. Also in German I can shorten 'For no reason but joy' = 'Einfach zum Spaß' which means 'Just for fun'. I only did wanna point to fact that 'Sen kialo krom gxogo' may not be understood by every international audience at first sight or hear. Anyway, for German esperanto users it should be comprehensible.
