| I 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! II 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! | 1 [ɡdɛ ˈdo.mof muːj | ɡdɛ ˈdo.mof muːj |] [ˈvo.da ˈɦu.t͡ʃiː po ˈlu.t͡ʃɪ.naːx |] [ˈbo.rɪ ˈʃu.miː po ˈska.lɪ.naːx |] [ˈf‿sa.ɟɛ skviː sɛ ˈja.ra kvjɛt |] [ˈzɛm.skiː raːj to na ˈpoɦ.lɛt ǁ] [a to jɛ ta ˈkraːs.naː ˈzɛm.ɲɛ |] [ˈzɛm.ɲɛ ˈt͡ʃɛs.kaː ˈdo.mof muːj |] [ˈzɛm.ɲɛ ˈt͡ʃɛs.kaː ˈdo.mof muːj ǁ] II [ɡdɛ ˈdo.mof muːj | ɡdɛ ˈdo.mof muːj |] [ˈf‿kra.jɪ ˈznaːʃ.lɪ ˈbo.ɦu.mɪ.lɛːm] [ˈdu.ʃɛ ˈuːt.lɛː ˈf‿cɛ.lɛ ˈt͡ʃɪ.lɛːm |] [ˈmɪs.l̩ ˈjas.nou̯ vznɪk a zdar] [a tu ˈsiː.lu vzdo.ru zmar |] [to jɛ ˈt͡ʃɛ.xuː ˈslav.nɛː ˈplɛːm.ɲɛ] [ˈmɛ.zɪ ˈt͡ʃɛ.xɪ ˈdo.mof muːj ǁ] [ˈmɛ.zɪ ˈt͡ʃɛ.xɪ ˈdo.mof muːj ǁ] | I Where my home is, where my home is, Water roars across the meadows, Pinewoods rustle among rocks, The orchard 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! II Where my home is, where my home is, If, in the heavenly land, you have met Slender souls in spry bodies, Of clear mind, vigorous and prospering, And with a strength that frustrates all defiance, That is the glorious nation of Czechs Among the Czechs (is) my home! Among the Czechs, my home! |

And this is that beautiful land, The Czech land, my home, The Czech land, my home! | Where my home is, where my home is, Streams are rushing through the meadows, Midst the rocks sigh fragrant pine groves, Orchards decked in spring’s array, Scenes of Paradise portray. And this land of wondrous beauty, Is the Czech land, home of mine, Is the Czech land, home of mine! |

| Wo ist mein Heim, mein Vaterland, Wo durch Wiesen Bäche brausen, Wo auf Felsen Wälder sausen, Wo ein Eden uns entzückt, Wenn der Lenz die Fluren schmückt: Dieses Land, so schön vor allen, Böhmen ist mein Heimatland. Böhmen ist mein Heimatland. | Hol van honom, hol a hazám, Hol patak zúg a hegyháton, Csörgedez a rónaságon. Üde virág a kertben, Mint egy földi édenben. Ez az istenáldotta föld, Cseh föld a hazám, Cseh föld a hazám. |
