Much has been said about the Spanish nati0nal anthem.

It may come as a surprise to many that it was not simply translated…it was re-written. See if it sounds like the Saturday ball game to you.

Note verse two. It is time to “break the chains” indeed.

I wondered for a while if we could expect to see a new or additional national flag soon, then I realized that it already exists.
The Americans’ turn comes in November.

Verse 1

It’s sunrise. Do you see by the light of the dawn

What we proudly hailed last nightfall?

Its stars, its stripes

yesterday streamed

above fierce combat

a symbol of victory

the glory of battle, the march toward liberty.

Throughout the night, they proclaimed: “We will defend it!”

Chorus

Tell me! Does its starry beauty still wave

above the land of the free,

the sacred flag?

Verse 2

Its stars, its stripes,

liberty, we are equals.

We are brothers in our anthem.

In fierce combat, a symbol of victory

the glory of battle,

(My people fight on)

the march toward liberty.

(The time has come to break the chains.)

Throughout the night they proclaimed: “We will defend it!”

Tell me! Does its starry beauty still wave

above the land of the free,

the sacred flag?
