The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, tell me, do you see in the first rays of the sun,
What did we greet so proudly in the evening lightning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the dangerous battle,
We saw them proudly fluttering above the bastions?
And the red glare of the rockets, and the bombs exploding in the air,
They gave proof at night that our flag was still there.
Oh, tell me, does the starry banner still flutter?
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, where the enemy hid in silence,
He looks at the menacing stream in fear,
Where the flag shines and the water sparkles
They illuminate the night, reflecting in the depths.
Now it catches the morning light,
And the whole world sees: our flag is still there.
Oh, let the starry banner fly
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that detachment that so boastfully swore,
That blood and destruction will wash us away?
Their homes and country were left in ruins,
And flight saves only a few.
There is no refuge for mercenaries and slaves,
They run from horror, from the grave and shame.
And the starry banner flutters
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh, let it always be so when free people
They will stand up to defend their homes and country!
Blessed with victory and peace,
May this land be under the protection of heaven.
And let our motto be: “In God is our hope!”
And let the starry banner flutter
Over the land of the free and the home of the brave!
