An English translation of �Nuestro Himno,� a Spanish-language version of the national anthem:

VERSE 1

The day is breaking, do you

see it? In the light of the dawn?

What we so acclaimed at

nightfall?

Its stars, its stripes,

flew yesterday

In the fierce battle

in a sign of victory,

The glow of battle, in step

with liberty

At night they said: �It�s being

defended!�

CHORUS

Oh say!

The voice of your starry

beauty

is still unfolding

Over the land of the free

The sacred flag?

VERSE 2

Its stars, its stripes,

Freedom, we are equal

We are brothers, in our anthem.

In the fierce combat in a sign

of victory

The glow of battle, in step

with liberty

My people keep fighting

It�s time to break the chains

At night they said: �It�s being

defended!�

Oh say! Your starry beauty is

still unfolding.
