Music sample

"Hey, Slavs" (South Ruthenian: Һєй, Словѣнє; Hej, Slovæne; IPA: [ˈhej sɫoˈvæ.ne]) is a patriotic song dedicated to the Slavic peoples which was used as the national anthem of various macronations during the 20th century, the Græcian version of which serves as the regional anthem of the borough of Čěrneś.

History

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, organisational anthem of the Sokol physical education and political movement, and the national anthem of SFR Yugoslavia and FR Yugoslavia. 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.

On 5 February 2021 AD, His Excellency The Governor of Græcia unveiled the lyrics for the version used by the authorities of Čěrneś, which are originally written in South Ruthenian. They were subsequently translated in 8 languages, including the other two co-official languages of Græcia: Hellenic, and Neoclassical Latin.

English translation

Hej, Slováci, ešte naša slovenská reč žije, Dokiaľ naše verné srdce za náš národ bije. Žije, žije, duch slovenský, bude žiť naveky, Hrom a peklo, márne vaše proti nám sú vzteky! Jazyka dar zveril nám Boh, Boh náš hromovládny, Nesmie nám ho teda vyrvať na tom svete žiadny; I nechže je koľko ľudí, toľko čertov v svete; Boh je s nami: kto proti nám, toho Parom zmetie. A nechže sa i nad nami hrozná búrka vznesie, Skala puká, dub sa láme a zem nech sa trasie; My stojíme stále pevne, ako múry hradné. Čierna zem pohltí toho, kto odstúpi zradne!

Hey, Slovaks, there still lives the Slovak language As long as our faithful heart beats for our nation! There lives, lives, lives the Slovak spirit, it will live for ages! Thunder and Hell, in vain are your rages against us! God entrusted to us our language our thunderwielding God. Therefore, it must not be ripped from us, by anyone in the world! Let there be as many devils, as there are people in the world God is with us: who's against us, will by Perun be swept Even if a tremendous storm rises above us, The stone cracks, the oak breaks, and the earth quakes! We will stand always firm like the castle walls, To pits of the black earth be damned whom betrays treacherously!
