Default Re: Spanish Star Spangled Banner????

It is not changing thew words.
Uh, YES, they changed some of the words, because of a "rhyming problem" they had doing it in spanish.

In the Spanish version, the translation of the first stanza is relatively faithful to the spirit of the original, though Kidron says the producers wanted to avoid references to bombs and rockets. Instead, there is "fierce combat." The translation of the more obscure second stanza is almost a rewrite, with phrases such as "we are equal, we are brothers."
"Even our Spanish media are saying, 'Why are we doing this, what are you trying to do?' " said Pedro Biaggi, the morning host with El Zol (99.1 FM), the most popular Hispanic radio station in the Washington area. "It's not for us to be going around singing the national anthem in Spanish. . . . We don't want to impose, we don't own the place. . . . We want to be accepted."

I see nothing wrong with it.
Of course you don't. You're probably out there marching with those illegals supporting them being in AMERICA.
