wow, magnificent! I´m Czech and his pronounciation is unbelieveble, almost without mistakes!

[loko2468]

@SaguinusDemens Thanks SO MUCH! Now for the translation :D

Is there any other video of anyone else singing this? Can't find any on youtube, a search just brings up a different (english) version of the song

I'm not Czech, I'm a British singer who wants to learn this song - it just sounds beautiful

@loko2468 If you haven't found it yet :

Při řekách babylonských, tam jsme sedávali a plakávali, rozpomínajíce se na Sion. Na vrby v té zemi zavěšovali jsme citary své, a když se tam dotazovali nás ti, kteříž nás zajali, na slova písničky, říkajíce: Zpívejte nám některou píseň Sionskou, odpovídali jsme: Kterakž bychom mohli zpívati píseň Hospodinovu v zemi cizozemců? Jestliže se zapomenu na tebe, Ó Jeruzaléme, ó zapomeniž i pravice má umění svého.

[SaguinusDemens]

@kathleenmay11 Yes, it is.

Dvorak was Czech - could this be Czech? I'd love to know.
