Kde Domov Muj

Kde domov můj? (Where is My Home?) is the national anthem of the Czech Republic. It has been used since independence in 1993. In the old Czechoslovakia, this song formed the first part of the national anthem, with the first stanza of Slovak anthem forming the second part. It was written by the composer František Škroup and the dramatist Josef Kajetn Tyl as a part of the comedy Fidlovačka aneb ždn hněv a ždn rvačka (Fidlovačka, or no anger and no brawl). It was performed for the first time in the Stavovsk Divadlo (Estates' Theatre) in Prague on December 21, 1834. The song originally had more stanzas, but only the first is officially the anthem and the rest is forgotten.

Original Czech lyrics

Kde domov můj,
kde domov můj?
Voda huč po lučinch,
bory šum po skalinch,
v sadě skv se jara květ,
zemsk rj to na pohled!
A to je ta krsn země,
země česk, domov můj,
země česk, domov můj!

English translation

Where (is) my home?
Where (is) my home?
Water bubbles across the meadows,
(Pine)forests rustle over the cliffs,
In the garden spring's blossom shines,
an Earthly paradise at sight!
And this is that beautiful country,
Czech country, my home,
Czech country, my home!

Swedish translation

Var r mitt hem?
Var r mitt hem?
Vatten brusar ver ngarna,
skogar susar ver klipporna,
i frukttrdgrden lyser vrens blommor,
ett jordiskt paradis fr gat!
Och detta r det vackra landet,
tjeckiska landet, mitt hem,
tjeckiska landet, mitt hem!

Japanese translation

我が家何処や
我が家何処や
水は草原に轟き
松は岩にざわめく
庭には春の花輝き
眼前に広がる地上の楽園
これぞかの美しき土地
我が家チェコの国
我が家チェコの国
