1. O say can you see, By the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, Were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, The bombs bursting in air Gave proof thro' the night That our flag was still there. おお 見ゆるや 朝まだき光の中に、 過ぐる黄昏時 我等 いとも誇らかに仰ぎしものを。 熾しき戦さ中 変はらず、 護る城砦の上 げに雄々しく閃きしは 誰が人の星条章なるぞ。 砲火の紅も 空に轟く爆音も 夜を徹して我が旗の 尚もかしこにあるの証なり。
O say, does that star-spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave. おお 告げよ、 星条旗は今もひらめくや、 自由人の国、 勇者の故郷に。
