Do you have the lyrics for it? I'd like to see how different it really is.You can find the lyrics here (
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-060426nuestro,0,6454902.story?coll=chi-news-hed), and this article (
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12521196/) has a link to actually listen to the song.
Here are some of the lyrics that deviate from what they're calling a "translation":
Sus estrellas, sus franjas, la libertad, somos iguales
Somos hermanos, es nuestro himno.
Now, I'm not fluent enough in Spanish to translate the song, but I do know that there's nothing in it about "the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air"...instead they put in this "we're just like you" crap to promote their agenda.
The thing that hacks me off about it is that they're marketing it as a "Spanish-language US national anthem", or a translation, when it's really only loosely based on the Star Spangled Banner.
I wonder what citizens of Mexico would do if some crazy Americans sang the Mexican national anthem in English?
Well, this is all about the illegal immigration issue, right? I wonder what would happen if millions of US citizens crossed the border into Mexico illegally, and started buying up land and using Mexico's social services, while only a small percentage of them actually pay taxes. How long would it take before Mexico started advocating for a wall at the border? After all, Mexico guards their southern border judiciously...the only reason they don't guard their northern border the same way is because they can export their poverty problems to the United States...and the way Mexico is being run, they aren't in much danger of an illegal immigration problem from the US.
