(Where Is My Home?)

Original Czech Words (First Verse)

(repeat)

English Translation


Where is my home, where is my home?

Water bubbles 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.

(repeat)



Where is my home, where is my home?

If, in a heavenly land, you have met

Tender souls in agile frames,

Of clear mind, vigorous and prospering,

And with a strength that frustrates all defiance,

That is the glorious race of the Czechs,

Among Czechs is my home.

(repeat)
