The Star Spangled Banner LYRICS TO THE NATIONAL ANTHEMS Oh, say can you see by the dawn s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave O er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Lupang Hinirang (Bayang Magiliw) Bayang magiliw Perlas ng Silanganan Alab ng puso Sa dibdib mo'y buhay. Lupang hinirang, Duyan ka ng magiting, Sa manlulupig Di ka pasisiil. Sa dagat at bundok Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw; May dilag ang tula At awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y Tagumpay na nagniningning, Ang bituin at araw niya Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, Buhay at langit sa piling mo; Aming ligaya na pag may mang aapi Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.
