Hrom a peklo, márne vaše
Before it become the national anthem of Yugoslavia, “Hey Slavs” was used as a hymn of resistance against the tyranny of the Habsburg. It was also sung impotently in the streets of Prague during the German invasion although the lyrics were modified:
“ Thunder and Hell
Your rage is in vain
The Slav time shall live
Our name will remain
So long as our hearts
For the nation will beat
We don’t care how many
Germans we meet
Even if they are as numerous
As devils in Hell
God will protect us!”
