Star Spangled Banner

[laplaya]

Please forgive the translation it might not be the best but you will get the idea.

A difference between the attitudes the U.S and Puerto Rico

The Star Spangled Banner talks of
“The rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air”

La Borinquena the National Anthem of Puerto Rico is this:

The land of Borinquen
where I was born
is a flowering garden
of exquisite magic

A sky, always clear
serves as its canopy
and sings lullabies
to the waves at its feet

When Columbus came
to its beaches
he exclaimed full of admiration
“Oh! Oh! Oh!”

This is the beautiful land
I’ve been looking for:
it’s Borinquen, the daughter,
the daughter of the sea and the sun
the sea and the sun
