Tekst piosenki 'Star Spangled Banner' wykonawcy Paolo Ramirez

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 rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
Oh, say does that star
Spangled banner yet wave
For 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
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 war
And the battle’s confusion
A home and a country
Should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out
Their foul footsteps’ 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 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 we must
When our cause it 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!
