The National Anthem...in Spanish?

[bluethunder]

Perhaps you all haven't heard about this, but I wanted to get some feedback on this:

I live in Miami and the city (along with South Florida in general) has a very strong Latino influence and bilingualism has always been a hot topic down here...

at any rate, some Latin producers re-worked the National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, and had it sang in Spanish. The melody is pretty much the same, but it is sang in Spanish. Now, when the Spanish version is translated, it really does change the original words of the song and a lot of what it translates to isn't exactly what the original lyrics imply... but still it has sparked a LOT of controversy. President Bush responded to it at a press conference and said that the National Anthem should be sang in English and that anyone who wanted to be a citizen should learn English...chiming in with other members of the community who believe it should be sang strictly in English...
but then some members of the Latino population are saying that this is discrimination against them as Latinos and that the translation celebrates America and that as a nation built on immigrants we should actually be embracing the new translation of the song...

what do you all think?

Any thoughts on bilingualism?
