Allegro moderato, happy

1. Where our mountains and landscapes
are getting blue and green,
Where the people I meet give me a hearty welcome
in a well-known language,
There I am happy,
there I want to be.
There I am happy,
there I want to be.

2. Where the bells of the church,
speak to my heart,
From the west the golden church
is looking into the village,
There I am happy,
there I want to be.
There I am happy,
there I want to be.

3. There where the river
is running through the country,
where bright stars are shining
into the pond and the river,
There I am happy,
there I want to be.
There I am happy,
there I want to be.

4. There where colorful flowers
decorate the meadows at home,
where there our cornfields
are waving,
There I am happy,
there I want to be.
There I am happy,
there I want to be.

5. Where I am welcomed by
my home and my happy friend,
Where the well-known maids
are picking branchlets for the wreaths,
There I am happy,
there I want to be.
There I am happy,
there I want to be.

Allegro moderato, wjasele

1. Žož se py-šnje, ze-le-nje
po-la, łu-ki łu-zy-ske,
žož mě bra-tši wi-ta-ju
z lu-bym sło-wom do do-mu:
Tam su mó-je wja-se-la.
Tam mě śě-gnjo, tam cu ja.
Tam su mó-je wja-se-la.
Tam mě śě-gnjo, tam cu ja.

2. Žož te zwóny na tormje
lubosć sčelu do duše,
do jsy glěda cerkwicka
pózlosana wót slynca.
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam, tam źo mě myslicka.
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam, tam źo mě myslicka

3. Žož tam rěka gluskota
pśez łuku a pśez póla,
žož do gatka, do rěcki
swěśe bytše gwězdžicki:
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam mě śěgnjo, tam cu ja.
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam mě śěgnjo, tam cu ja.

4. Žož tam struski pisane
pyšnje łuki domowne,
žož tam našo pólo jo,
žyto se tam zmawujo:
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam mě śěgnjo, tam cu ja.
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam mě śěgnjo, tam cu ja.

5. Žož mě wita narodny
dom a towarš pśijazny,
žož si znate źowcyško
z ruty wěnki nawijo:
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam me mě śěgnjo, tam cu ja.
Tam su móje wjasela.
Tam me mě śěgnjo, tam cu ja.
