National Anthem of Lithuania - Tautiška Giesmė (Instrumental)

"Tautiška giesmė" ("The National Hymn") is the national anthem of Lithuania, also known by its opening words "Lietuva, Tėvyne mūsų" ( "Lithuania, Our Fatherland") and as "Lietuvos himnas". The music and lyrics were written in 1898 by Vincas Kudirka, when Lithuania was still part of the Russian Empire.
The first public Lithuanian performance of the anthem took place in Vilnius in 1905, and it became the official national anthem in 1919, a year after Lithuania declared its independence.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
Lithuania, our dear homeland,
Land of worthy heroes!
May your sons draw strength
From your past experiences.

May your children always
Choose the paths of virtue,
May they work towards your good,
And that of all people.
