Tautiška giesmė
Lietuva, Tėvyne mūsų
Tu didvyrių žeme,
Iš praeities Tavo sūnūs
Te stiprybę semia.

Tegul Tavo vaikai eina
Vien takais dorybės
Tegul dirba Tavo naudai
Ir žmonių gėrybei

Tegul saulė Lietuvoj
Tamsumas prašalina,
Ir šviesa, ir tiesa
Mūs žingsnius telydi.

Tegul meilė Lietuvos
Dega mūsų širdyse,
Vardan tos Lietuvos
Vienybė težydi

German translation

National anthem
Lithuania, our fatherland,
land of
great heroes, That
strength sprouted from the past days to the sons.

May your children always
walk the paths of virtue,
May they act for your salvation, that of
the people.

May the sun
scare away the darkness of Lithuania ,
bright and clear, right and true
guide Our steps.

May the love for you
burn in our hearts, give
your existence, fatherland,
harmony to everyone!
