Hanuš Hachenburg - My Country
I carry my country in my heart.
It is for me, and for me alone!
Woven from the beauty of fabric
It remains an eternal dream.
I kiss my land and caress it.
Passing much time in its presence.
This land is not on this earth
Yet it is within us everywhere.
It is in the heavens, in the stars above,
Wherever the bird nation lives.
I see it again in my soul today.
And my heart is heavy with tears.
One day I shall fly to the heights above,
Free from my body's encumbrance,
Free in expansiveness, free in distance,
And free with me, my country.
Today it is small. A handful of dreams
Encloses its distant horizons
And through the heavy dreams
Shimmer the furies of war.
One day I shall enter my country,
I shall rejoin my motherland,
There is my country! There is yours!
There is no "I" and no misery.
There is no "I" and no misery.
