Kryziu Kalna Gerbkime
Crushed by their godless creed,or so they thought,
But your nation at heart bravely resisted and fought.
Networks of spies and traitors were placed all around,
Thereby they believed you would be kept down.
With coercive restraint and armoured might
They were firmly convinced that grim was your plight
But near Siauliai on a hill was a seed strongly sown
Crowded clusters of crosses were planted and steadily grown.
Bulldozers were sent in to lay them all low
Again and again a defiant crop did show
Till at last the standards of Christ's cruel plight
Made the powerful powerless and ready for flight.
To the strength and faith of your nation,all hail.
May your faith and your strength always prevail.
