A great rendition of the famous song about my home town redone in Esperanto!

Great but I wouldn't have translated "New York". Novjorko sounds a little weird... I have the opinion that names of people and places should not be translated at all. 8-)

I liked it nonetheless

That was pretty cool. But don't we always translate place names? Or at least transliterate? In natlangs at least.
