Nad Tatrou sa blýska

"Nad Tatrou sa blýska" (, meaning "Lightning O'er the Tatras") is the national anthem of Slovakia. When Slovakia, along with Czechia, was part of the former country of Czechoslovakia, parts of this anthem was played along the Czech national anthem "Kde domov můj". The words of the song were written in 1844 by Janko Matúška, and the melody of the song comes from a Slovak folk song called "Kopala studienku".

Lyrics
Only the first two stanzas are officially part of the national anthem.
