Текст и перевод песни Daniel Landa - Byvali Cechove

Byvali Cechove

Bývali, Čechové, statní jonáci
Bývali rekové, muži jak květ:
Bývali, bývali, válčili, zpívali
Tak je znal svět, tak je znal svět.

...

Bývali, Čechové, statní jonáci
Bývali rekové, muži jak květ:
Bývali, bývali, válčili, zpívali
Tak je znal svět, tak je znal svět.
Bývali, bývali, válčili, zpívali
Tak je znal svět, tak je znal svět.

Čechové, Čechové, jak se měníte!
Buďte zas rekové, jak vás znal svět:
Rekové v smyšlení, v lásce a dychtění
Pro vlasti květ, pro vlasti květ!
Rekové v smyšlení, v lásce a dychtění
Pro vlasti květ, pro vlasti květ!

Former Czechs

For there were once, Czechs, stately young soldiers
There were once great warriors, men like flowers:
There were once, there were once, they fought, they sang
That is how the world knew them, that is how the world knew them.

...

For there were once, Czechs, stately young soldiers
There were once great warriors, men like flowers:
There were once, there were once, they fought, they sang
That is how the world knew them, that is how the world knew them.
There were once, there were once, they fought, they sang
That is how the world knew them, that is how the world knew them.

Czechs, Czechs, how you have changed!
Be once more great warriors, as the world knew you:
Warriors in thought, in love, and in longing
For the flowering of our homeland, for the flowering of our homeland!
Warriors in thought, in love, and in longing
For the flowering of our homeland, for the flowering of our homeland!
