Original Lyrics in Czech
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 jest ta krásná země,
země česká, domov můj,
země česká, domov můj!

Where is my home, where is my home?
Water roars across the meadows,
Pinewoods rustle among rocks,
Orchard blooms in spring,
Paradise on earth to view,
And this is that beautiful land,
The Czech land, my home,
The Czech land, my home!
