So on so forth...

V-ati gindit vreodata cum suna imnul SUA? Dar ce inseamna versurile sale? Iata mai jos mesajul acestui imn:

"Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light / What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? / Whose broad stripesand bright stars thru the perilous fight, / O'er the ramparts we watched were sogallantly streaming? / And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, / Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there. / Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave / O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? /
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, / Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, / What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, / As it fit fully blows, half conceals, half discloses? / Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, / In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:' / Tis the star-spangled banner! / Oh long may it wave / O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore / That the havoc of warand the battle's confusion, / A home and a country should leave us no more! / Their blood has washed out of of their foul footsteps' pollution. / No refuge could save the hireling and slave' / From the terror off light and the gloom of the grave: / And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave / O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when free men shall stand / Between their loved home and the war's desolation! / Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land / Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. / Then conquer wemust, when our causeit is just, / And this be ourmotto: "In God is our trust." / And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave / O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. "
