National song Czech anthem Where is my home

National song Czech anthem 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! 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!
