"At issue was the release yesterday of Nuestro Himno, a Spanish-language version of the U.S. national anthem written by music producer Adam Kidron, a
Briton who penned the song in honour of the U.S.'s Latino immigrants."
A BRIT! I tell ya, they're still PO'd that we got Calif, and they didn't - the Royal Navy REALLY wanted the ports of San Diego and San Francisco.

U.S. National Anthem, Spanish Style
An English translation of
Nuestro Himno, a Spanish-language version of the U.S. national anthem that U.S. President George W. Bush opposes.
Verse 1
The day is breaking, do you see it? In the light of the dawn?
What we so acclaimed at
nightfall?
Its stars, its stripes,
flew yesterday
In the fierce battle
in a sign of victory,
The glow of battle, in step with liberty
At night they said: "It's being
defended!"
Chorus:
Oh say!
The voice of your starry beauty
is still unfolding
Over the land of the free
The sacred flag?
Verse 2
Its stars, its stripes,
Freedom, we are equal
We are brothers, in our anthem.
In the fierce combat in a sign of victory
The glow of battle, in step with liberty
My people keep fighting
It's time to break the chains
At night they said: "It's being defended!"
Oh say! Your starry beauty is still unfolding."
Vaguely similar, I guess.... wonder if it's a google translation

Oh say can you see, a la luz de la aurora/Lo que tanto aclamamos la noche al caer? Sus estrellas, sus franjas flotaban ayer/En el fiero combate en
senal de victoria,/Fulgor de lucha, al paso de la libertada,/Por la noche decian: "Se va defendiendo!"
Coro: Oh, decid! Despliega aun su hermosura estrellada,/Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada?
Chant:
It's time to make a difference the kids, men and the women/Let's stand for our beliefs, let's stand for our vision/What about the children los ninos
como P-Star
These kids have no parents, cause all of these mean laws.
See this can't happen, not only about the Latins.
Asians, blacks and whites and all they do is adding
more and more, let's not start a war
with all these hard workers,
they can't help where they were born.
Verse 2
Sus estrellas, sus franjas, la libertad, somos iguales
Somos hermanos, es nuestro himno.
En el fiero combate en senal de victoria,/Fulgor de lucha, al paso de la libertada,/Por la noche decian: "Se va defendiendo!"
Coro: Oh, decid! Despliega aun su hermosura estrellada,/Sobre tierra de libres, la bandera sagrada?

Interesting. Can't say I've been following this very much from Baja, things are changing. Not saying I'm for or against, just an observation.
