This year will be quite a year for the Czech people – 100 years as an independent nation, 50 years since the Prague Spring and 25 years since the Czech Republic was founded. Music played a part in this story with Marta Kunišová’s song ‘A Prayer for Marta’ becoming an anthem of the resistance in 1968. Will be thinking of our friends as they remember these significant times during this year of 2018.
Lyrics – Let peace continue with this country. Let wrath, envy, hate, fear and struggle vanish. Now, when the lost reign over your affairs will return to you, people, it will return. The cloud is slowly sailing away from the skies, Everyone is reaping his own harvest. Let my prayer speak to the hearts (that are) Not burned by the times of bitterness like blooms by a late frost. Let peace continue with this country. Let wrath, envy, hate, fear and struggle vanish. Now, when the lost reign over your affairs will return to you, people, it will return. Let my prayer speak to the hearts (that are) Not burned by the times of bitterness like blooms by a late frost. Let peace continue with this country. Let wrath, envy, hate, fear and struggle vanish. Now, when the lost reign over your affairs will return to you, people, it will return.
