'The Star-Spangled Banner' - Anthem of The United States of America [FULL VERSION]

"The Star-Spangled Banner" - Anthem of The United States of America [FULL VERSION]

ENGLISH:

I
O 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;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

II
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 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.

III
When our land is illumined with Liberty's smile,
If a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory,
Down, down with the traitor that dares to defile
The flag of her stars and the page of her story!
By the millions unchained, who our birthright have gained,
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
While the land of the free is the home of the brave.

IIII
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry 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!

England: Say *colour*
America: COLOR!
England: Say *valour*
America: VALOR!
England: Say *honour*
America: HONOR!
England: WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING, MATE?!
America: I'm getting rid of U!

Happy 4th of July, America... I hope you keep your promise to the world as the beacon of Freedom for the rest of the world... #ManifestDestiny

Finally a version of this that’s not just some woman trying to show off. God bless America! 🇺🇸

"And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust' is by far the best lyric in the anthen in my opinion

[crystalcat]

How I like to think of the song:

First part:
The United States of America succeeds in securing its respect and independence twice against the British Empire despite the harsh and severe consequences.
Second part:
The United States of America fights their darkest sins possessed in the Confederate States and wins the day.
Third part:
The United States of America bands together with the free world to destroy the vicious axis powers, unchaining millions of people from around the world.
Last part:
From 1945 to today, the United States of America continues to lead a post war world, leading to one of the most peaceful, happy, and prosperous eras in human history.

I was the lead singer in my high school band. And I blew a chance to sing the national anthem at graduation out of spite because my music teacher decided my senior band did not have the skill to play Meat Loaf: "Bat out of Hell" or Billy Joel: "Only the Good Die Young". Instead, some loser played it on harmonica, without vocals, and blew it, to the boos of the audience. I would do anything to go back and reconsider. I could have been the star of the graduation ceremony. Lesson: make decisions based on the future, not by right now.

As an Englishman residing in the United States, I hold a nuanced view of the War of 1812. Though I regard it as an insignificant and unnecessary conflict for both nations, it undeniably gave birth to something profoundly significant: the national anthem of the United States. Francis Scott Key’s stirring verses, immortalized by the tune composed by Stafford Smith at Gloucester Church, transcend the events of their time to speak to the enduring spirit of a nation.

During those tumultuous nights of bombardment at Fort McHenry in Maryland, as rockets glared and bombs burst in the air, Key’s hopeful gaze upon the steadfast flag captured a moment of indomitable resolve. The sight of the Star-Spangled Banner still waving at dawn was a powerful testament to the resilience and unity of the American people.

In reflecting upon this historical episode, I am reminded of the common threads that bind us across the Atlantic. We may have stood as adversaries in that era, but today, our shared heritage and values draw us closer as cousins rather than dividers. The anthem stands as a symbol of the perseverance and courage that define the American spirit.

On this Fourth of July, as I celebrate Independence Day side-by-side with you, my fellow cousins, I am heartened to see the Union Jack and the Star-Spangled Banner waving together, not in indifference but in solidarity and mutual respect. It is a testament to the enduring friendship and shared ideals that unite our nations.

Happy Independence Day, America! May your flag continue to wave proudly over the land of the free and the home of the brave!

I listen to this when I'm doing AP US Government and Politics homework






I think that classifies me a true patriotic American

[pointly]

Stand for the anthem of the brave and free. Stand for the heroes who died carrying it to battle. Stand for the millions of people yearning to breath free. Stand for generations of citizens that make this country great. Stand for our God given rights! Stand for our anthem and flag. Kneel to no man or cause! Americans never kneel or submit. We stand, march, and lead with the fires of freedom burning in our hearts! Pro Deo et Patria!

[klaycurry]

Salute for the men who gave their lives for where we are right now. I don’t think veterans honestly get enough support for what they have did.

I’m sad at how dumbfounded America has become, and the crimes

[LangLangGaming]

I'm not even American, nor even close to America, but this anthem made me an American citizen for four minutes
God bless America and happy 4th of July!

[randomcat]

I came back from Mexico and I'm sad but it was very beautiful I was born in the U.S and I have to love my own country and it is great to be back.
