The words of the
anthem
Kde domov můj,
kde domov můj.
Voda hučí po lučinách,
bory šumí po skalinách.
V sadě skví se jara květ
zemský ráj to na pohled!
A to jest ta krásná země
země česká domov můj!
Země česká domov můj!
Where is my home,
where is my home?
Water roars across the
meadows,
Pinewoods rustle among crags,
The garden is glorious with
spring blossom,
Paradise on earth it is to see.
And this is that beautiful land,
The Czech land, my home,
The Czech land, my home.
