This song was written in 1976 for the Bicentennial but never released. The events of 11 September 2001 inspired the Slovakaires to record the song at long last and add it as the final track of the CD, Slovakaires Favorites.

We invite you to listen to the song Boze Dakujeme in MP3 format.
This is the English translation of the Slovak lyrics...
-
We thank God that we are Slovaks living free in America.
We came as Slovaks, as did many others, and together work without fault.
It's been over 200 hundred years since America fought a great war and won it's freedom.
Some may want to take this freedom from us, but it is very precious and we will not give it up. Here, together, for the sake of our children, we will defend it whatever the cost."
