Letra: Francis Scott Key
Música: John Stafford Smith
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 thru 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 thru the night that our flag was still there.
Chorus:
Oh, 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, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
Chorus:
'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!
El himno
No refuge could save the hireling and slave'
From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave:
Chorus:
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."
Chorus:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Los santiagueños van a estar chochos con el himno a la bandera, en inglés, que tienen en USA como himno del país.

Curiosamente, les copiamos su constitución y anunciamos los mismos ideales de "tierra de los libres". Ellos lo cumplen, y respetan su constitución que es intocable.... nosotros no, pero por alguna razón no nos caen bien.
Tal vez sea porque desde chiquitos nos enseñan que lo que viene de afuera es invasión colonialista, y hay que tirarles agua y aceite hirviendo desde los techos.
Eso si......que no dejen de mandarnos todo los adelantos que desarrollan y producen financiado con el dinero de los contribuyentes, para hacer nuestra vida más confortable y duradera.
