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!
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!
