The Star Spangled Banner
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(The Defense of Fort McHenry)
September 20, 1814
By Francis Scott Key
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn\'s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight\'s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O\'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets\' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O 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 fitfully blows, now conceals, now 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! O 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 war and the battle\'s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep\'s 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 ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war\'s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: \"In God is our trust.\"
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O\'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, diga se você pode ver a luz leve do amanhecer
O crepúsculo cintilante que nós orgulhosamente anunciamos
Cujas faixas largas e estrelas brilhantes, pela briga perigosa,
Nós assistimos as muralhas caírem fluentemente e corajosamente.
E o clarão vermelho dos foguetes, as bombas que estouram em arejar
Deu prova pela noite que nossa bandeira estava ainda lá.
Pelo vale da liverdade e a casa da coragem

Na orla, vagamente vistas pelas névoas das fundas
Onde o anfitrião altivo do inimigo em silêncio terrível repousa,
O que é que a brisa, o íngreme,
Como ele sopra, agora esconde, agora descobre?
Agora ele pega o cintilar da primeira viga de manhã,
Por completo glória refletiu agora brilha no fluxo:
Essa é a bandeira coberta de estrelas! O longa pode isto onda
O terrestre do livre e a casa da valente.

E onde está aquela faixa que tão gloriosamente jurou
Onde o anfitrião altivo do inimigo em silêncio terrível repousa,
O que é que a brisa, o \'er o íngreme,
Como ele fitfully sopros, agora esconde, agora descobre?
Agora ele pega o cintilar da primeira viga de manhã,
Por completo glória refletiu agora brilha no fluxo:
\'Tis a bandeira coberta de estrelas! O longa pode isto onda
O \'er o terrestre do livre e a casa da valente.

Entre suas amadas casas e a desolação da guerra!
Lavado com vitória e paz, podem o céu-salvo terrestre
Louve o Poder que fez e nos preservou uma nação.
Então conquistemos que nós devemos, por nosso causa somente é,
E isto é nosso lema: \"Em Deus é nossa confiança.\"
E a bandeira coberta de estrelas para sempre deve acenar
O terrestre do livre e a casa da valente!
