'''''The Star-Spangled Banner''''' ([[engleski]]: ''Barjak iskićen zvijezdama'') [[himna]] je [[SAD|Sjedinjenih Američkih Država]]. Stihove je [[1814.]] napisao Francis Scott Key, na glazbu [[UK|britanskog]] skladatelja Johna Stafforda Smitha iz [[1780.]] godine. Smithova se skladba izvorno zvala "Anacreontic Song".

Skladba je postala američkom himnom [[1931.]] godine. Izvodi se, između ostalog, prije profesionalnih sportskih priredbi u SAD-u. Možda i najpoznatija izvedba himne ona je [[Jimi Hendrix|Jimija Hendrixa]] na festivalu u [[Woodstock]]u.

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, <br />                              
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? <br />                   
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, <br />            
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? <br />                   
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, <br />                       
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. <br />                                 
                                                                                   
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave <br />                               
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? <br />


On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, <br />
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, <br />
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, <br />
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? <br />
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, <br />
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: <br />

'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave <br />
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. <br />


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore <br />
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion <br />
A home and a country should leave us no more? <br />
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution. <br />
No refuge could save the hireling and slave <br />
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: <br />

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave <br />
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. <br />


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand <br />
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation! <br />
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land <br />
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. <br />
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, <br />
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." <br />

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave <br />
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!<br />
