Geležinis Vilkas

Maèiau að sapnà, að girdëjau balsusMane jie vedë per girias ir miðkusTik menesiena ðvietë kalno ðlaitaisDidþiulis vilkas kvietë plieno ðarvais.Kà pranaðauja ðie neramûs sapnai?Sakyk, Lizdeika, ko nerimsta vilkai?Virð Ðventaragio dûmai (kyla) lyg juodi varnai,Kà man likimas audþia, kà tu matai?...Kas naktá staugia geleþim vilkaiKiekvienà akmená sudrebina balsai,Pilis pasidengia sidabru pilnaty,Stovës èia miestas – amþiams Lietuvos ðirdy!Klausyk valdove pranaðystës þyniø,Gyvenimas tavasis iðrinktas DievøStiprybæ vilko savyje atrast turiStovës èia Vilnius – amþiams Lietuvos ðirdy!...Kas naktá staugia geleþim vilkaiKiekvienà akmená sudrebina balsai,Pilis pasidengia sidabru pilnaty,Stovës èia miestas – amþiams Lietuvos ðirdy![English translation:]The Wolf Of SteelI saw a dream. Voices were clearThey led me though the trees in the forestIlluminated only by moonlightA great wolf of steel howledWhat is the meaning behind these troubled dreams?Tell me, Lizdeika, why do the wolves howl?Raven black is the smoke over Ðventaragis,Oh what thou see – what weaves the faith for me?Every night the wolves howl like iron,Their voices crush the giant scalesIn the full moon the castle glows in silverThe eternal city – the heart of Lithuania – will emerge!Oh hear the oracles of the prophets, my lord!You chose the gods,Find the strength of a wolf inside you,For all eternity, Vilnius will be the heart of Lithuania!Every night the wolves howl like iron,Their voices crush the giant scalesIn full moon the castle glows in silverThe eternal city – the heart of Lithuania – it shall be!
