National Anthem Of Lithuania (english - Translation)

May the sun above our landBanish darkening clouds around,Light and truth all alongGuide our steps forever.

Let your children always followOnly roads of virtue,May your own, mankind’s well-beingBe the goals they work for. National Anthem of Lithuania (English translation)

May the love of LithuaniaBrightly burn in our hearts,For the sake of this landLet unity blossom! Historical Context
