Anthem of The Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic - English Translation

English Translation

Soviet Lithuania was created by the people,

Who long fought for the freedom and truth.

Where Vilnius, where Nemunas, where the Baltic Sea,

Let our cities, fertile fields to prosper.

In the glorious Soviet Union,

Among equals, equal and free,

Live forever and be happy,

Dear Soviet Lithuania!

Lenin lit us the path to freedom,

The great Russian people helped in the struggle.

The party* leads us to happiness and good,

The friendship of our nations is as firm as steel.

In the glorious Soviet Union,

Between equals, equal and free,

Live forever and be happy,

Dear Soviet Lithuania!

Our homeland is mighty, we fear no dangers,

Let the skies be peaceful and pure.

With our work we'll create a great tomorrow,

And the dawn of Communism will light the Earth.

In the glorious Soviet Union,

Between equals, equal and free,

Live forever and be happy,

Dear Soviet Lithuania!

* The original lyrics by Antanas Venclova contained the line "Stalin leads us to happiness and good" (modified by Vacys Reimeris as part of the Soviet de-Stalinization campaign).
