The Star Spangled Banner
"The Star Spangled Banner" 于1814年由Francis Scott Key作曲，Woodrow
Wilson總統于1916年下令於軍中場合演奏，於1931年由國會立法通過成為國歌。
國歌共包括四節，絕大多數場合只唱第一節。
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.
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:
'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 of of their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave'
From the terror of flight and 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.
歌詞大意
啊 ！在晨曦初現時，你可看見
是甚麼讓我們如此驕傲？
在黎明的最後一道曙光中歡呼，
是誰的旗幟在激戰中始終高揚！
烈火熊熊，炮聲隆隆，
我們看到要塞上那面英勇的旗幟
在黑夜過後依然聳立！
啊！你說那星條旗是否會靜止，
在自由的土地上飄舞，
在勇者的家園上飛揚？
