It's already been translated to Spanish via the US government. There's no
need to create a new one that is not even a translation, but a farce. You
can't sing this version and learn anything because it's not even saying
close to the same thing. It's not the national anthem. It's a pop song.
> They want to sing the national anthem; more power to them.
I agree... so why don't they start by singing the legitimate version rather
than this farce?
If you are sinceire about your statements, you'll have to agree that if they
want to learn the anthem and sing it in their language, it's best that they
sing a real version of it, a legitimate translation, rather than some
pop/political farce pretending to be the national anthem. It goes directly
against what you claim to believe. But, honestly, you don't believe it.
You're just another sheep.
> Why must you go straight for the insults, Fred?
For you? lol. You deserve no more.

lol. Hilarious! The left wing is full of nothing more than insults. Give
it a rest, honey.

La Bandera de Estrellas
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 seal de victoria,
Fulgor de cohetes, de bombas estruendo,
Por la noche decan: "!Se va defendiendo!"
Coro:
!Oh, decid! Despliega an 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 elvase atroz
Oh, decidme! Qu es eso que en la brisa ondea?
Se oculta y flamea, en el alba luciendo,
Reflejada en la mar, donde va resplandeciendo
Coro:
!An all despleg su hermosura estrellada,
Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada!
Oh as sea siempre, en lealtad defendamos
Nuestra tierra natal contra el torpe invasor!
A Dios quien nos dio paz, libertad y honor,
Nos mantuvo nacin, con fervor bendigamos.
Nuestra causa es el bien, y por eso triunfamos.
Siempre fue nuestro lema "En Dios confiamos!"
Coro:
!Y desplegar su hermosura estrellada,
Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada!
