«The Star-Spangled Banner» ("Знамя, усыпанное звёздами") — национальный гимн Соединённых Штатов Америки. Его текст был взят из поэмы «Оборона Форта Макгенри», написанной в 1814 году Фрэнсисом Скоттом Ки. Автор, 35-летний адвокат и по совместительству поэт-любитель, написал этот текст после того, как стал свидетелем обстрела Форта Макгенри в Балтиморе британскими кораблями в период войны 1812 года. Первое исполнение состоялось в Балтиморе 29 октября после американской премьеры пьесы Августа фон Коцебу «Граф Бенёвский». Долгое время считалось, что текст был положен на популярную британскую застольную мелодию. Однако в 1980-ые годы ученым удалось установить, что мелодия имела своего автора. Им был Джон Стаффорд Смит (John Stafford Smith), британский историк музыки, композитор, органист и певец, который в 1766 году написал шутливый гимн "Общества Анакреона"«To Anacreon in Heaven», объединявшего лондонских музыкантов. Песня стала официально использоваться в Военно-морских силах США (1889), затем в Белом доме (1916), а 3 марта 1931 года резолюцией Конгресса была объявлена национальным гимном. Песня имеет 4 куплета, но сегодня только первый из них является широко известным. Оригинальный текст O! 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 through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' 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? 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 breeze, 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 banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! 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 banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory 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 banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Поэтический перевод Игоря Коссича, 2000 Смотри, видишь ли ты в солнца первых лучах, С чем в заката часы мы простились глазами? О, скажи, он ведь жив, полосатый наш флаг, Цвета неба и солнца наше звёздное знамя? И летали ракеты, и снаряды взрывались, Подтверждая: форт наш ночью не сдался. Ответь: это правда, флаг ещё реет Над землёю свободных, родиной смелых? Вдали, там, где берег еле виден в тумане, Где надменный наш враг от атак отдыхает Что там утренний бриз в вышине развевает, То скрывая от глаз, то вновь открывая? Вот он снова сверкнул, туч завесу прорвал, В полной славе своей гордо миру предстал. Это звёздный наш флаг! О, пусть же он реет Над землёю свободных, родиной смелых. А иначе никак и не может и быть Там, где выбор пойдёт вновь о деле свободы. И пока будем жить, будем благодарить Силу, что сотворила нас единым народом.

«The Star-Spangled Banner» (& quot; Banner, star-studded & quot;) - National Anthem of the United States of America. His text was taken from the poem "Defence of Fort McHenry", written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. The author, 35-year-old lawyer and part-time poet-lover, wrote this text after witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore British ships during the War of 1812. The first performance was held in Baltimore on October 29 after the American premiere of a play by August von Kotzebue "Count Benyovszky."
For a long time it was thought that the text has been put on the popular British toast in tune. However, in the 1980s, scientists were able to establish that the melody was its author. They were John Stafford Smith (John Stafford Smith), a British historian of music, composer, organist and singer, who in 1766 wrote a humorous anthem & quot; Company Anacreon & quot; «To Anacreon in Heaven», uniting musicians in London. The song became officially used in the naval forces of the USA (1889), then in the White House (1916), and March 3, 1931 resolution of the Congress was declared the national anthem.
The song has four verses, but today only the first one is well-known.
Original text
O! 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 through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' 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?
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 breeze, 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 banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
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 banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory 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 banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Poetic translation Igor Kossicha, 2000
Look, do you see the first rays of the sun in,
What we watch the sunset in the naked eye?
Oh, tell me he's alive, our striped flag,
Color of the sky and the sun, our starry banner?
And flying rockets and shells exploding,
Confirmed: Fort our night did not give up.
Answer: It's true, the flag still flies
Above the ground available, the birthplace of the brave?
In the distance, where the shore barely visible in the fog,
Where haughty our enemy attacks rests
What's morning breeze is waving in the sky,
Then hiding from the eyes, then re-opening?
Here it is again flashed, the clouds broke through the veil,
In its full glory proudly brought the world.
This star is our flag! Oh, let him flies
Above the ground available, the birthplace of the brave.
Otherwise, and in any way and can not be
Where the choice will go back to the cause of freedom.
And as long as we live, we thank
Force that has made us one people.
This choice - svya
