Imperial Anthem of Austria-Hungary in Czech (1848-1918) 

How to slav a song: Step one - Accordion.

In honor of my Great-Great-Grandfather Ján Vallo, a cook in the Austro-Hungarian army, 1890's-1990's.

The Czech Version sounds very beutiful!🇦🇹🇭🇺🇨🇿🇸🇮🇸🇰🇭🇷

My great grandpa was Czech and was conscripted into the Austro Hungarian military.

In honor and memory of Emil Visov, a faithful soldier of the Empire 1914-8, murdered by Nazis 1943.

The greatest thing about the Habsburgs and the empire is that even now, with their rule long gone, they still are something that unites us. The empire's memory is something that belongs equally to all of us, its descendants, no matter of our language or ethnicity.

Yes, there exists a Hungarian version, but it never got really popular in Hungary. After the 1867 reconciliation in the Hungarian part of the Empire an own anthem was sung (which was pretty identical to the present Hungarian anthem, just the music has been slowed down since, after the 72% territory loss in the 1920 dictate of Trianon - this is why sometimes foreign football fans are wondering, whether what they hear is an anthem at all). So, the official translation of Gott erhalte to Hungarian is: „Tartsa Isten, óvja Isten Királyunk s a közhazát! Erőt lelve a szent hitben Ossza bölcs parancsszavát! Hadd védnünk ős koronáját Bárhonnét fenyítse vész! Magyar honnal Habsburg trónját Egyesíté égi kéz!” Note, that this translation, contrary to all other languages, doesn’t say that the Habsburgs' throne is united with the fate of Austria, but with the fate of Hungary. More of it, the Emperor is called not our Kaiser, but our King, according to the status quo after 1867, that Franz Joseph was the Kaiser of Austria AND the King of Hungary. (For this reason, his successor Karl is known as Kaiser Karl the 1st in Austria, but as King Karl the 4th in Hungary.) I think, some professional ensemble should sing this in a church and add it to RU-vid. Whatever the history was, it is still our cultural heritage, and part of the past.

No nečekal jsem že najdu hymnu Rakouska-Uherska v čestině :D Moc pěkné

this is EPIC! i did not even know tgat a czech version excisted!

my Baba sang this to me , I miss her!

idk why, but the Czech version sounds friendlier!

My grandpa was militarized in Wien during the first world war: He was a croat, italian, from Istria, from Pisino, Mitterburg, were I was born after the second war.

Czechs are from a country there the history is writen by the number 8. (1618, 1648, 1848, 1918, 1938, 1948 and 1968). I have never heard the Imperial Anthem of Austria-Hungary in Czech before.....but I like it.

I'm from Poland and I can understand 70 % of it :-)

I've heard it in German, Italian and now in Czech, and the feelings are same: Glory

Respect to Czech people!

Long live the Lands of the Bohemian Crown! Long live the KIngdom of Bohemia, Margraviate of Moravia, and the Duchy of Silesia!

Tohle musí každý poslouchat, aby ho neschvátil čert anarchismu.

Good find - I didn't know this version existed! Keep up the work mate!

My great-great grandfather was a Czech fighting for Austria-Hungary. Too bad we have lost the war.

Amazing video, amazing channel! Thank you!

It sounds so folksy compared to other orchestral versions. Certainly an interesting version!

Beautiful in every language! 🇦🇹🇭🇺

Before Czechoslovakia, there was Austria-Hungary.

It ALSO sounds like a Christmas song besides it, what some perfect timing.

"Opijte se, nechte si zahrát rakouskou hymnu a uvidíte, co budete říkat!" :D

Tato hymna krásně vystihuje všechny hodnoty, které nám kdysi byly svaté Král, Bůh, vlast a patriotismus. Vzpruhu v dnešní bohužel republikánské době.

Švejk: Máš rád Turky? no máš rád ty pohanské psy? :-D

Tohle jsem nikdy předtím neslyšel a mám pocit, že jsem přišel o hodně.

I just want to say that I love the beginning melody it reminds me of the good old days at a carnival

Díky, díky, díky. Trochu to rozptýlilo moji depresi z dnešních dnů.

Výborně přebásněno do češtiny!

It's probably not his death anniversary today, but I want to honor Albrecht von Wallenstein. He's a controversial figure in history, but he was one of the best military commanders that country had. If anyone asks my nationality, I'm not an Austrian. But I do know much about history

Bożę wspieraj, Boże ochroń nam Cesarza i nasz kraj, tarczą wiary rządy osłoń , państwu jego siłę daj..

I was born a hundred, maybe a thousand years too late. This beautiful ancient song carries me away to a superior, more civilized era.

Nejkrásnější hymna co znám. Každá verze používá sice jiné sloky, ale vždy je výsledek dokonalý.

Long life for czechian brothers.

Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser! Good version.

Hymna. Která má něco do sebe je překrásná . Překrásně se zpívá a do rakouskouherska se hodí a sissi alias elizabeth byla překrásnou bavorskou princeznou a cisarovnou rakouskou a královnou uherskou ještě že mám o ní knížku. Tahle písnička si zaslouží být v mém zpevniku i když je to rakouskoUhersko

Kéžby byla nastolena zpátky monarchie.😢

Nádherná hymna ve všech jazycích.

Greetings from Transcarpathia. The Habsburgs are what unites all the peoples of the Danube. God save the Kaiser!

Wow! This is indeed a gem! I've already come across the German and Italian versions of the anthem, but I like this one too. I must say I prefer it to the German version.

im from poland, i understand 100%

I’m not Czech, I’m not Austrian But I love this

Ať žije císař!

Is there exactly this anthem in Czech also as instrumental?

Kaiser and slavs=best anthem

Poslouchal jsem na nový rok, vskutku líbezné

Is the anthem of Austria-Hungary available in Hungarian?

a jak by to hezké bylo kdyby císař pán korunu českou přijal a německý jazyk národu českému nenutil

Excepțional!

Perfection

So schön

I can just imagine this playing over my schools loudspeaker

Time Traveler: Sneezes Czechia in the 21st century:

I'm Croatian and I can understand quite a bit Also u guys ruled over us starting from 1102

Ano, to je naše hymna. Ať žije české království a český král z rodu habsburského. :-)

Great song I play this when I get homesick..

česka vojak je dobra vojak

Хороший был композитор... Йозеф Гайдн...

was until 1918 the anthem of the austrian - hungarian empire. even if Hoffmansthal used the melody to create the "lied of the gemans", certainly until 1918 nobody used it in Germany, due the German Empire had their own anthem and Hoffmannsthals text would have been a provocation of their austrian allied. so never this text was usual before 1919.

Is there a version of this in Hungarian?

Viribus Unitis

*When you decide to go to Bohemia to the Bohemian Route to become Bohemian instead...*

V roce 1918 měl být zachován společný česko-rakouský stát bez Uherska.

Instrumental?

Austria-Hungary lost the war, because people like Švejk were in their army

Kdyby Rakušáci nebyli šmejdi a udělali rakousko-české vyrovnání, povolili protestantismus a udělali kostituci dřív, tak bych je i podporoval.

zivila Jugoslavia,Czechoslovakia,Rumunija i polska

Beautiful anthem I've ever heard 😊❤

dawnlightening dawnlightening 1 second ago The English version is called Rule Britannia. Listen to it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--tu5Blt60qc.html (from 1:48 to the end) and compare it to this AustroHungarian Anthem. Pretty close n'est ce pas?

Austria-Hungary-Czech Empire

Aspoň si mám čo spievať keď budem hrať nabudúce za Rakúsko-Uhorsko v BF1 :D

Nice to hear another version of this great anthem Speaking of which, does anyone know if a Croatian vocal version exists? I could only find videos with Croat lyrics

Amen

Ich spreche überhaupt kein Tschechisch, und dennoch finde ich das, weil ich deutsche Musik mag.

cool!!!

0:36

Mega.

Velka Morava ;-( [*] Rakousko - Uhersko [*] František Josef [*] A v Malopolsku se zpíva: "Boże wspieraj, Boże ochroń nam cesarza i nasz kraj..."

Dnes 11. 1. 2023 slaví Jeho Královské Veličenstvo Karel IV. 62 let, nechť nám Bůh dopřeje ještě spousty let jeho milostivé vlády a neochvějné zdraví jemu dá. Ať žije král!

Beautiful. I'm at home

Čiže Nemecko aj Rakúsko-Uhorsko malo hymnu na tú istú melódiu, akurát slová iné (?)

This nation was beautiful.... until nationalism ruined everything. Tento národ byl krásný... Dokud nacionalismus všechno nezniči

Viribus Unitis!

Is there one in hungarian language ?

My Favorite Version As An Indonesian. NGTL IDK Why But The Czech Version Sounds The Most Beautifull

Даешь Австро-Чехию!

Long live Austria ! Good news from Hannover ☺

What kind of 1848? The monarchy was only established in 1867

Toto je asi nejlepší zpracování v češtině co lze nalést ale chybí tam dvě sloky.

Czechoslovakia surely got czechmated by Australlia-Hungry in this song.

Kéž bychom se vrátili k této úžasné mnohonárodnostní středoevropské monarchii. Ať žijí Habsburkové, ať žije Vídeň, at zije RAKOUSKO, ať žije ČESKÉ KRÁLOVSTVÍ !!!
