Tekst piosenki
Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light.What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming? Whose brought stripes and bright stars, thro the perilous fight. Oer the ramparts we watchd, were so galantly streaming. And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proove thro the night, that our flag was still there. Oh say, does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave oer the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen throughout 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 fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam In full glory reflected now shines on 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 hauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and country, shall leave us no more? Their blood was washed out their foul foot steps pollution No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or 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 e'er when free men shall stand Between their lov'd homes and war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Pow'r that has made and presrv'd us a nation And conquer we must when our cause is just And this be our motto: "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.
