La Bandera de las Estrellas

All those conservatives fulminating over the idea of a Spanish version of the "Star Spangled Banner" might want to redirect their anger towards Woodrow Wilson.

Back in 1919, the U.S. government commissioned a version of the anthem en espanol. I knew old Woody was soft on illegal immigrants.

You can also find the Spanish language "Banner" on the U.S. State Department site.

Amanece: ¿no veis, a la luz de la aurora,

Lo que tanto aclamamos la noche al caer?

Sus estrellas, sus barras flotaban ayer

En el fiero combate en señal de victoria,

Fulgor de cohetes, de bombas estruendo,

Por la noche decían: "!Se va defendiendo!"
