Tautiška giesmė
\n:(in Lithuanian)
Lietuva, Tėvyne mūsų,
\nTu didvyrių žeme,
\nIš praeities Tavo sūnūs
\nTe stiprybę semia.
Tegul Tavo vaikai eina
\nVien takais dorybės,
\nTegul dirba Tavo naudai
\nIr žmonių gėrybei.
Tegul saulė Lietuvoj
\nTamsumas prašalina,
\nIr šviesa, ir tiesa
\nMūs žingsnius telydi.
Tegul meilė Lietuvos
\nDega mūsų širdyse,
\nVardan tos Lietuvos
\nVienybė težydi!
The National Song

\nthe land of heroes,
\nlet your sons draw mightiness
\nfrom the past.
Let your children walk
\nonly ways of goodness,
\nLet them labor for your good
\nAnd for the welfare of the people.
Let the Sun remove
\nglooms in Lithuania,
\nLet the light and the truth
\nAccompany our steps.
Let the love for Lithuania
\nflames in our hearts,
\nand, for the sake of Lithuania itself,
\nlet the unity flourish!
