Anthem Lyrics Lietuva, Tevyne musu,


Tu didvyriu žeme,


Iš praeities Tavo sunus


Te stiprybe semia.

Tegul Tavo vaikai eina


Vien takais dorybes,


Tegul dirba Tavo naudai


Ir žmoniu gerybei.

Tegul saule Lietuvoj


Tamsumas prašalina,


Ir šviesa, ir tiesa


Mus žingsnius telydi.

Tegul meile Lietuvos


Dega musu širdyse,


Vardan tos Lietuvos


Vienybe težydi!

Anthem Lyrics English Lithuania Our Homeland,


land of heroes,


let your sons draw strength


from the past.

May your children walk


only ways of goodness,


Let them labor for your good


And for the welfare of the people.

Let the sun eliminate


Lithuania's shadows,


and may light and truth


Accompany our footsteps.

May the love for Lithuania


burn in our hearts,


and, for Lithuania's sake,


let unity flourish!
