美国国歌

雖然有四組歌詞，但實際上幾乎只唱第一組歌詞，不唱其他歌詞，尤其是第三組帶有反英情緒的歌詞。

I.

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.

Chorus

Oh, 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 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.

III.

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 their foul footsteps' pollution.

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.

IV.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Bles't 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.
