Translation of US Anthem's Spanish version?

[Tomas]

I was wondering how much the Spanish lyrics of U.S. Anthem differs from the English version, but I am unable to find the translation? Can anybody help? Thanks!

They are very different, THEY ARE IN SPANISH! This isn't a good thing to do. I'm all for legal immigration and cultural diversity but the door goes both ways and one thing you should have to do is be able to sing the National Anthem in it's native language.

What's next, having a copy of the Declaration of Independance in Spansih sitting next to the original?

Honestly, the Spanish part doesn't bother me all that much but changing lyrics ("In the fierce combat, the sign of victory, the flame of battle in step with liberty through the night it was said it was being defended.") and adding lyrics ("We are equal, we are brothers.") does bother me.

The funny thing about all this immagration stink is that most people do not care about LEGAL immigration. It's the illegal part that is the problem. I don't give a F if you are from Mexico, Poland, Laos, or Cleveland... If you are here legally, good on ya!

So where did you get that translation??? I'd like to get bothered, too!

What, you don't trust me?

I haven't found the full translation but I found bits and pieces through Google:

Of course, since I don't speak Spanish...

Isn't Spanish the 2nd official language in some states? So, that means that you should have a spanish version of the anthem, too.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the USA does not have an official official langage at all.

This is true, therefore all official documentation has to be available in all translations.
