'Hej, Slováci!' - National Anthem of Slovakia [1939-1945]

[Vozhdal]

*Fate of Czechoslovakia focus completed*

[BadBame]

*“Our Slovak language is still alive.”*

I mean, at the time that would definitely be a flex

[georgepetrow]

Russia:"Hey, look at my flag!"
Slovakia and Slovenia:"Our flag*"

Edit: I did not mean to piss anyone off, stop taking it so seriously

This song is just a variation of the original song "Hej Slované!" by the Slovak composer Samuel Tomášik. He composed it out of sadness when he visited Prague and heard more German than Czech. Since than it's been considered the unofficial anthem of all Slavs and it was used as an anthem by the Slovak state and post WW2 Yugoslavia. The melody is based on the polish patriotic song (nowadays anthem) "Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła, póki my żyjemy".

Greetings to all Slavic brothers from the Czech republic. 🇨🇿🇸🇰🇵🇱🇷🇺🇺🇦🇧🇾🇷🇸🇭🇷🇸🇮🇲🇪🇧🇦🇲🇰🇧🇬

This song was written during their national revival in the 19th century, it is just a patriotic Slovak song about the Slovak nation still existing, keep that in mind before commenting "Nazi collaborators, Nazi anthem" etc.

I'm Polish and i understand like 70 maybe even 80% of this song.

That part of west Slovakia was not part of Germany.
It was part of Schutzone (Defence zone), where Wehrmacht bases were allowed, but it was part of Slovak state.

Love to Slovakia from Poland! Yes... we did fight against each other in the past, but that’s the past. Today, we are Slavic brothers! Niech Żyje Słowacja! 🇵🇱❤️🇸🇰

''Zivi zivi duh slovenski, zivece vekovma'' - ''Stena puca, dub se lama, zemlja ne se trese'' It's so adorable to see the similarities.

A big, big greeting from Serbia, our brothers ❤

HEY write this in your forhead.
Its lyrics were first written in 1834 under the title "Hey, Slovaks" ("Hej, Slováci") by Samuel Tomášik and it has since served as the ethnic anthem of the Pan-Slavic movement, organizational anthem of the Sokol physical education and political movement, and the national anthem of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro. The song is also considered to be the unofficial second ethnic anthem of the Slovaks. Its melody is based on "Mazurek Dąbrowskiego", which has also been the national anthem of Poland since 1926, but the Yugoslav variation has a slower tempo, is more accentuated, and does not repeat the last four lines as it repeats the last two lines.

Fascists, Communists, and Democracies in Slavic lands all seem to agree on this anthem.

I'm 1/4 Slovak through my mother, who is 1/2, due to my grandmother's parents both coming to America from Austria-Hungary to escape the First World War. We even have a picture of them in Budapest and my great grandfather would return to Czechoslovakia periodically until his death. My great grandmother refused to return because the authorities seized all of her parents property.

Yay Slovakia gets some love! 😀

Long live Slovakia! 🇸🇮🤝🇸🇰



Edit: My mom always told me I was Slovak, but she got it mixed up with Slovenia, so I’m Slovenian not Slovak, but long live Slovakia!

[maczeru]
