歌詞(この音源は1番のみ)

1.O 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 rockets' red glare,
　the bombs bursting in air,
　Gave proof through the night
　that our flag was still there:
　O say, does that star-spangled
　banner yet wave
　O'er the land of the free
　and the home of the brave?

2.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 on the stream:
　'Tis the star-spangled banner!
　O long may it wave
　O'er the land of the free
　and the home of the brave!

3.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
　their foul footsteps' pollution.
　No refuge could save
　the hireling and slave
　From the terror of flight,
　or 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!

4.O thus be it ever,
　when freemen shall stand
　Between their loved home
　and the war's desolation!
　Blest with victory and peace,
　may the Heaven-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!
