CZECH LYRICS
Kde domov muj, kde domov muj?
Voda hucí po lucinách,
Bory sumí po skalinách,
V sade skví se jara kvet,
Zemsky ráj to na pohled!
A to je ta krásná zeme,
Zeme ceská, domov muj,
Zeme ceská, domov muj!
Kde domov muj, kde domov muj?
V kraji znás-li bohumilém
Duse utlé v tele cilém,
Mysl jasnou, vznik a zdar,
A tu sílu vzdoru zmar!
To je Cechu slavné pléme,
Mezi Cechy domov muj,
Mezi Cechy domov muj.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Where is my home, where is my home?
Water roaring across meadows,
Pines whisper across crags,
In the garden shine the blossoms,
Earthly paradise on one sight.
And that's the beautiful land,
Czech land, my home.
Czech land, my home.
Where is my home, where is my home?
In region known as heavnly land,
Souls kept in rigid frames,
Mind bright, creation and welcome,
And the strength in defiance of frustration.
Those are Czech's famous strains,
Among us, our home,
Among us, our home.
