Original Czech lyrics

   1.
   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.

   2.
   Kde domov můj kde domov můj?
   V kraji znáš-li bohumilém
   duše útlé v těle čilém
   mysl jasnou vznik a zdar
   a tu sílu vzdoru zmar
   to je Čechů slavné plémě
   mezi Čechy domov můj
   mezi Čechy domov můj!
   text of national anthem is only first strophe)

English translation

   1
   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.

   2
   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 Czechs,
   Among Czechs (is) my home,
   Among Czechs, my home.
