Tautiška giesme Lithuanian
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 of Lithuania English
Lithuania, our homeland,
Land of worshiped heroes!
Let your sons draw their strength
From our past experience.

Let your children always follow
Only roads of virtue,
May your own, mankind’s well-being
Be the goals they work for.

May the sun above our land
Bannish darkening clouds around
Light and truth all along
Guide our steps forever.

May the love of Lithuania
Brightly burn in our hearts.
For the sake this land
Let unity blossom.

 
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article 1) 
Visi žmonės gimsta laisvi ir lygūs savo orumu ir teisėmis. Jiems suteiktas protas ir sąžinė ir jie turi elgtis vienas kito atžvilgiu kaip broliai.
