Tautiška giesmeLithuanian
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 LithuaniaEnglish
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. Lithuanian
