Music: Allegro moderato

1. Hdźež so mó-drja, ze-le-nja,
na-še ho-ry, haj-ni-šća,
hdźež mje stro-wja ze-tku-jo
w zna-tym sło-wje kra-je-njo:
Tam su mo-je wje-se-la, tam mje će-hnje, tam chcu ja.
Tam su mo-je wje-se-la, tam mje će-hnje, tam chcu ja.

2. Hdźež te zwony na cyrkwi
lubje rěča k wutrobi,
do wsy hlada z wječorka
pozłoćana cyrkwička:
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.

3. Hdźež tam rěka pluskoce
přez te hona domowne,
Hdźež do hatka, do rěčki
swěća jasne hwězdźički:
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.

4. Hdźež tam kwětki pisane
pyša łuki domjace,
hdźež tam naše polo je,
žito so tam zmawuje:
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.

5. Hdźež mje wita narodny
dom a towarš zradowny,
hdźež te znate holiča
k wěncam rutu šćipaja:
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.
Tam su moje wjesela, tam mje ćehnje, tam chcu ja.




Translation and lyrics by Gerald Stone

1. Where our hills and woodlands lie
Green and blue across the sky,
Where the men I knew when young
Greet me in my native tongue
There my joys and blessings reign,
There I long to be again.

2. Where the church-bells, as they ring,
To my heart a message bring,
And the church at eventide
Scans the village golden-eyed,
There my blessings lie in store,
There I long to be once more.

3. Where the river murmurs clear
Through my homeland pastures dear,
Where in every pond and stream
From the sky the bright stars gleam,
There my joys and blessings reign,
There I long to be again.

4. Where bright flowers of every kind
Deck the meadows of my mind,
Where our fields before me lie,
Filled with waving, drifting rye,
There my blessings lie in store,
There I long to be once more.

5. Where my birthplace, like a friend,
Greets me at my journey's end,
Where familiar girls galore
Think about their bottom drawer,
There my joys and blessings reign,
There I long to be again
