Lithuanian Lyrics

Tarybinę Lietuvą liaudis sukūrė,
Už laisvę ir tiesą kovojus ilgai.
Kur Vilnius, kur Nemunas, Baltijos jūra,
Ten klesti mūs miestai, derlingi laukai.
Tarybų Sąjungoj šlovingoj,
Tarp lygių lygi ir laisva,
Gyvuok per amžius, būk laiminga,
Brangi Tarybų Lietuva!
Į laisvę mums Leninas nušvietė kelią,
Padėjo kovoj didi rusų tauta.
Mus Partija veda į laimę ir galią,
Tautų mūs draugystė kaip plienas tvirta.
Tarybų Sąjungoj šlovingoj,
Tarp lygių lygi ir laisva,
Gyvuok per amžius, būk laiminga,
Brangi Tarybų Lietuva!
Tėvynė galinga, nebijom pavojų,
Tebūna padangė taiki ir tyra.
Mes darbu sukursim didingą rytojų,
Ir žemę nušvies komunizmo aušra.
Tarybų Sąjungoj šlovingoj,
Tarp lygių lygi ir laisva,
Gyvuok per amžius, būk laiminga,
Brangi Tarybų Lietuva!

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!

Lithuanian SSR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (389 words)
The Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic, short: Lithuanian SSR (in Lithuanian: Lietuvos Tarybų Socialistinė Respublika, short: Lietuvos TSR) was the name given on July 21, 1940 to Lithuania, after communist rule was forced upon Lithuania following the Soviet invasion of June 15, 1940.
Initially the Lithuanian SSR was proclaimed much earlier, on December 16, 1918, by the 1st Congress of the Lithuanian Communist Party.
The Lithuanian SSR was renamed, the Republic of Lithuania again, and on March 11, 1990, all legal ties of sovereignty were cut with the Soviet Union as Lithuania declared the restitution of its independence.
