A Canadian netizen named Chris uploaded a video of his singing The Star Spangled Banner in Chinese, which made us suddenly realize this is the best time for Sino-US relationship.
We found the Chinese lyrics for The Star Spangled Banner on Wikipedia. This version is slightly different from the one you heard in the video, but much better.
哦,你可看见,透过一线曙光,
我们对着什么,发出欢呼的声浪?
谁的阔条明星,冒着一夜炮火,
依然锓风招展,在我军碉堡上?
火炮闪闪发光,炸弹轰轰作响,
它们都是见证,国旗安然无恙。
你看星条旗不是还高高飘扬,
在这自由国家,勇士的家乡?
Before this The Star Spangled Banner video, there was an American young guy named Red Laowai (红老外) singing lots of Chinese pop songs. Here’s a complete play list. Enjoy.
