Slovak National Anthem

So this is the national anthem of my country, Slovakia.
Sorry for the poor quality, I didn't have too much time to spend with it.

And if you're interested in the lytics:

Nad Tatrou sa blýska
hromy divo bijú.
Zastavme ich bratia,
ved' sa ony stratia,
Slováci ožijú.

To Slovensko naše
posiaľ tvrdo spalo.
Ale blesky hromu
vzbudzujú ho k tomu,
aby sa prebralo.

Už Slovensko vstáva
putá si strháva
Hej rodina milá
hodina odbila,
žije matka Sláva

Ešte jedle rastú
na krivánskej strane
Kto jak Slovák cíti,
nech sa šable chytí,
a medzi nás stane

Translation:

There is lightning over the Tatra,
thunderclaps are striking ferociously.
Let us stop them, brothers,
(you will see that) they will disappear,
the Slovaks will revive.

This, our Slovakia
has long been fast asleep.
But the lightning of the thunder
is rousing it
to wake up.

Already Slovakia is waking up,
throwing off its bonds
Hey dear family
the hour has ticked away
Mother Glory is alive

Firs yet grow
on the slopes of Kriváň
Whoever considers himself a Slovak,
may he take a sabre
and rise with us.

(only the first two stanzas are used)
