6. Here's the actual translation

I don't like it because I don't think it has the tone of the original, especially "sacred flag". And it omits "home of the brave" because I guess that would be offensive to people who come here from other homes. That's what I object to, altering it.



By the light of the dawn, do you see arising,

what we proudly hailed at twilight's last fall?

Its stars, its stripes

yesterday streamed

above fierce combat

a gleaming emblem of victory

and the struggle toward liberty.

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?

Its stars, its stripes,

liberty, we are the same.

We are brothers in our anthem.

In fierce combat, a gleaming emblem of victory

and the struggle toward liberty.

My people fight on.

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?

7. Oddly, I like that better than the English version. n/t

[sandnsea]

9. Which is rather irrelevant

Because the main point is, it's not the US national anthem.

[nemo137]

11. Meh. I also like "American the Beautiful" rather than our current anthem.

So what?

[sandnsea]

12. You're not rewriting either song

Just expressing a musical opinion. That's what.
