The Czech RepublicWhere is My Home?

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 je ta krásná země,
země česká, domov můj,
země česká, domov můj.

Where is my home? Where is my home?
Water murmurs across meadows
Pinewoods rustle over the rockies,
Bloom of spring shines in the orchard,
Paradise on Earth to see!
And that is the beautiful country,
The Czech land, my home!
The Czech land, my home!

About Anthem

Kde domov můj? (Where is My Home?) is the national anthem of the Czech Republic.

The song was written by the composer František Škroup and the playwrighter Josef Kajetán Tyl as a part of the comedy Fidlovačka aneb Žádný hněv a žádná rvačka (Fidlovačka, Or No Anger And No Brawl).

It was performed for the first time in the Stavovské divadlo (Estates Theatre) in Prague on December 21, 1834. The original song consists of two strophes (see below). Although J. K. Tyl is said to had considered leaving the song out of the play, not convinced of its quality, it soon became very popular among Czech folks and was accepted as an informal anthem of a nation willing to revive its identity within the Habsburg Empire (photo: Týn Church in Prague /source: Wikipedia).
