Sing along to the Star Spangled Banner

[purplepassion]

I think it rolls off the tongue quite nicely.

Amanece: ¿no veis, a la luz de la aurora,
Lo que tanto aclamamos la noche al caer?
Sus estrellas, sus barras flotaban ayer
En el fiero combate en señal de victoria,
Fulgor de cohetes, de bombas estruendo,
Por la noche decían: "!Se va defendiendo!"

Coro:
!Oh, decid! ¿Despliega aún su hermosura estrellada,
Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada?


En la costa lejana que apenas blanquea,
Donde yace nublada la hueste feroz
Sobre aquel precipicio que elévase atroz
¡Oh, decidme! ¿Qué es eso que en la brisa ondea?
Se oculta y flamea, en el alba luciendo,
Reflejada en la mar, donde va resplandeciendo


Coro:
!Aún allí desplegó su hermosura estrellada,
Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada!


¡Oh así sea siempre, en lealtad defendamos
Nuestra tierra natal contra el torpe invasor!
A Dios quien nos dio paz, libertad y honor,
Nos mantuvo nación, con fervor bendigamos.
Nuestra causa es el bien, y por eso triunfamos.
Siempre fue nuestro lema "¡En Dios confiamos!"


Coro:
!Y desplegará su hermosura estrellada,
Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada!

I think NOT!

As long as they are here legally and are paying their fair share they can sing the national anthem in Klingon for all I care.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Klingon is such an ugly language though.

but I guess there are a lot of "klin-ons" in our society.

I like the Jimi Hendrix version myself

[CATCH AND EAT]

At least he was an American.

At least he was an American.

Yes and served in the military too

[husker]

that is almost the most foul thing that could have ever been done here......maybe i just dont get it but i think the government should do something for the people and not for votes.....*PETUNIAS*....i am just furious...

[CATCH AND EAT]

Yes and served in the military too

A non-draft dodger.

that is almost the most foul thing that could have ever been done here

Oh please...... It's just a song for crying out loud! There are a lot more important things happening in our country right now to get furious about

[Tanner]

JUST A SONG???????????? It is our NATIONAL ANTHEM. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE DO IT LEGALLY AND LEARN THE FREAKING LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!!!

[Artwo]

Stew,
I respectfully have to disagree with you about your comment "It's just a song". As you are correct, the song in its self is not the issue, it's what that song represents. And what that song represents is exatly what is being trampled upon right now. I to am furious about that as well. I'll remain strong on this one, you want to come here do it leagally and respect our customs.

Exactly, If you are going to live in this country... SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!

[Cool Texan]

I wonder how many people on this thread could sing the song, error free? I realize this is another lynch-thread, and as such we'll all claim to be able to do so, but... I know I cant sing it word for word. So if they can do it in Spanish, more power to them.

:lurk:

[CATCH AND EAT]

I can! Here we go:

Jose can you si, ..... Opps, wrong version.
