Just had to share this beautiful translation:
Labas visiems,
I wrote about everything today, but I forgot to remind you that tonight is the time when Lithuanians worldwide will be singing the National Anthem, Lietuvos Himnas. This takes place at 9 p.m., EST. Lithuanians everywhere will be singing! Grab your tri-color Lithuanian flag and get outdoors and sing as loud as possible, so that your voice echoes with the words of freedom around the world. Sorry I am giving you such short notice..
Valio Lietuva!
Liuda
The Lithuanian National Anthem ("Lietuvos Himnas") is usually sung at Lithuanian gatherings throughout the World. There will be no better time than tonight to perhaps rededicate ourselves to the ideals set forth in Lithuania's "Lietuvos Himnas". I know of no other Anthem as beautiful and lyrically more meaningful than is ours.
"Lithuania, my homeland, land of heroes! Let your sons & daughters draw strength from the past. Let your children follow only the path of virtue, working for the good of their native land and for all mankind. Let the sun banish all darkness from Lithuania, with light and truth always guiding our steps. Let the love of Lithuania burn in our hearts And for the sake of our country, let unity blossom."
