''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 Nad Tatrou sa blýska forming the second part. It was written by the composer Frantisek Skroup and the dramatist 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 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 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! ===English translation=== :Where is my home? :Where is my home? :Water rushing 'cross the meadows, :Pine woods hush o'er rocky hills, :Orchards where spring blossom gleams, :Paradise on Earth it seems! :And this is that land of beauty, :The Czech Land, [here] is my home, :The Czech Land, [here] is my home! ==External link== *[http://www.national-anthems.net/web/find.webpage?from=anthems&what=czech&id=EZ Link to Audio] *[http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1430000/audio/_1432655_czech_republic.ram Link to orchestral version] *[http://www.republika.pl/cepolsite/info/hymna.mp3 Link to orchestral version] *[http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/flwpahtml/flwpabibAudios2.html Link to solo voice version] Czech culture National anthems ms:Kde domov muj vi:Kde domov můj
Is there any particular reason why we have a Swedish translation here? Does the song have some significance in Sweden as well? (I doubt it, but you never know.) --User:Camembert * No idea, but I translated the Sweedish translation to English. Since I don't know Sweedish, it might be a little inaccurate...
