As the great war is over and lost

He's been wounded in war, he returns with awards

Into battle again far from home

From a far distant land, our Marshal command

Home

Siblings sent to their death

His wife paid the ultimate price

Still

As the war rages on

You are our guide

Far, far from the fame

Far, far away from the fame

But we still remember your name

Karel Janoušek!

We mourn the day that you died

So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride

When the war has been fought and been won

Our Marshal returns, to be thrown into jail

Facing torture and years behind bars

When he's finally back, life in ivory black

Home

Siblings sent to their death

His wife paid the ultimate price

Still

As the war rages on

You are our guide

Far, far from the fame

Far, far away from the fame

But we still remember your name

Karel Janoušek!

We mourn the day that you died

So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride

Far, far from the fame

Far, far away from the fame

But we still remember your name

Karel Janoušek!

We mourn the day that you died

So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride

Far, far from the fame

Far, far away from the fame

But we still remember your name

Karel Janoušek!

We mourn the day that you died

So be our guide, Czechoslovakia's pride
