| 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.
 
 ChorusOh, 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
 
 ChorusAnd 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. »
 
 ChorusAnd the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
 O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 
 
 | I.Potestne cerni primo diluculo
 Vexillum quod vesperi salutabamus,
 Dum stellas clavosque et in proelio
 Fluitantes superbe in vallo spectamus?
 Atque salvum adhuc interdum subitae
 Vexillum noctu ostendebant flammae;
 
 Chorus0 dic num despectet stellans vexillum
 Liberam patriam fortiumque domum.
 
 II.Per vapores maris unde instant hostes
 In litore iam aliquid vix apparet,
 Quod aura inconstans per celsas turres
 Modo condit umbra, modo languide movet;
 Ecce tandem primi solis sub lumina
 Claro splendet colore vexilli aqua;
 
 ChorusAtque diu despectet stellans vexillum
 Liberam patriam fortiumque domum.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 IV.0 semper sic fiat cum suas domos
 Ab exitio populus liber defendet;
 Quodque numen tuetur aras et focos
 Divinitus victrix res publica laudet.
 Superant semper iustam qui causam habent
 Et in Deo spem ponere omnem solent;
 
 ChorusSic triumphans despectet stellans vexillum
 Liberam patriam fortiumque domum.
