歌词：

I.

Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and hope.
II

Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.

(repeats) Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.

Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.

Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.

Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.

让英勇的符号以胜利的姿态飘扬，让自由在这片广遨的土地上延伸，一面旗帜出现在欢呼的人群中，西部大地的旗帜。勇敢和真理的徽章，保护不被暴君统治；红白和星星蓝，是自由的盾牌和希望。其他国家可能认为他们的国旗最好的，他们兴高采烈地欢呼，但这面代表北部、南部和西部的旗帜，才是旗中之旗，是自由国度之旗。
是对国旗的旗帜，自由的国家的国旗。自由之旗万岁！希望它能永远这样飘扬。海天之间的宝石，正义之旗。让后辈永记这一天，当我们的祖先以大无畏的英勇行为，坚持行进斗争，争得的他们的理想和权力，让它永远飘扬。让老鹰的尖叫着从尖峰飞过，在我们的土地上口号不息；让夏日微风穿过树林，合唱的回声在风中飘荡。
为解放和光明歌唱，为自由和权利歌唱，为合众国和它的强盛歌唱。哦，爱国的人们。自由之旗万岁！希望它能永远这样飘扬。海天之间的宝石，正义之旗。让后辈永记这一天，当我们的祖先以大无畏的英勇行为，坚持行进斗争，争得的他们的理想和权力，让它永远飘扬。

这首歌很容易被误以为是美国的国歌，但它确实不是。美国国歌是《星条旗》。美国总统尼克松1972年首次访华期间，乐队曾经高奏《星条旗永不落》，听众反应非常热烈，而这首乐曲也因此而被中国民众所熟知。或许，这就是很多人把《星条旗永不落》误认做美国国歌的原因吧。
