Its author is none other than the composer Jiří Brain (79), who started Hanka’s successful career with the song Breviář lásky, which the singer sang at concerts until the end of her life. After other successes Neslap, nelamej, Mys dobrých nadějě or Biograf láska, but Zmožek began to write exclusively Christian songs. “I write only for God”, he said to all those who asked him for a song. But when Hanka came to him, he made an exception, smiled and corrected himself: “By God and Goddess.” And so he wrote Z nebe plače dųšť, for which the singer wrote the lyrics herself.

Where’s the chorus?
“The last time Hanka was with me, it was very good. I was already about seventy-two, but I still had the strength to play something new for her. She always appreciated it and said: “Start playing and I know while it’s over”, comments the composer in that meeting. “Hanka has more than twenty of my songs. I remember the first time I played the Cape of Good Hope for her. She didn’t have the lyrics yet, so I sang her my English version again from the London telephone book. And as I played and sang, I saw her concern, and how she listened intently, and when I finished, she asked me: And where’s the chorus? And I said: Everywhere,” the author of Hanca’s greatest key hits recalls with nostalgia. Zagorov he liked it a lot. So much so that he couldn’t even greet her at the funeral mass in the church. “Losing Hanka hurts me a lot. I have prayed for her for a long time and witnessed the love of Jesus Christ. I believe I will meet her again There at the gates of heaven,” she recalled her hit, sung by Michal Tučný .
