Here is the official English translation of the Lithuanian National Anthem by Vincas Kudirka: ------------------------------------------------ Official English translation ------------------------------------------------ Lithuania, our homeland, Land of 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 Banish 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 of this land, Let unity blossom! And here is the improved, Daugirdas family version (Dad's): --------------------------------------------------------- Unofficial (Dad's) English translation ---------------------------------------------------------- Lietuva, our home and nation, Land of valiant heroes! From your glorious past Your sons draw strength, resolve and power. May your children walk the path of Honor and integrity, As they work for your well-being And for all of mankind. May the sun above our land Banish cloud and shadow. Truth and right, radiant light Guide our steps eternally. May the love of Lietuva Burn forever in our hearts. In your name, we proclaim: Unity and concord bloom! (Copyright, 2015) What do you think? (I never liked the name "Lithuania" - "Lietuva" is so much more meaningful to me.)
