The star spangled Watawat

Verse I
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose single sun and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red and blue glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.

O say, does that Star-Spangled Watawat ng Bituin and Araw yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Verse 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 amihan and habagat, 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,

'Tis the Star Spangled Watawat ng Bituin at Araw, oh, long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Verse 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 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 Watawat ng Bituin at Araw in triumph doth wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Verse IV
Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.

Blest with vict'ry 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."

And the Star Spangled Watawat ng Bituin at Araw in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
