For those wondering what the song means, I give the outline of the lyrics. Where appropriate, I try to match the lines, but that can't always be done because Lithuanian and English grammars are quite different. Also, the original is replete with diminutives like "kibirkštėlė" ~ "little spark", and while this works in Lithuanian, this is difficult to translate faithfully to English. (LYRICS BELOW) Už ežero Behind the lake Ugnys dega Fires are burning 2x Krenta byra Kibirkštėlės Little sparks fall down 3x Man siratai And mine, the orphan's, ašarėlės Tears Eisiu girion I'll go to the woods Paklausyti To listen 2x Ar kukuoja If a cuckoo is singing Gegutėlė 3x Ar ramina If it is consoling Siratėlę The orphan Sunku sodui 'Tis hard for the garden Be kirvelio Without a little ax 2x Man siratai ('Tis hard) For me, the orphan, Be tėvelio Without the father Sunku girėj 'Tis hard in the woods Be gegulės Without the cuckoo 2x Man siratai ('Tis hard) For me, the orphan, Be motulės Without the mother

Absolutely, but absolutely totally and truly magical. Angels are full of envy hearing this.. Greetings from Slovakia

Your voice bring out the beauty and feeling. Much respect and appreciation for the ancient ways from your Prussian cousins.

I'm Polish, but I love Lithuanian Culture too. In fact, I see similarities and many overlaps between the Baltic culture and the Slavic Culture (though there are differences certainly), especially the folk dances, dresses, and perhaps even food. I wonder if the Balts don't have any DNA connection with the Slavs at all. Because yes, on one hand, the Lithuanians are not Slavs, they are Balts. But how much were the Balts influenced by the Slavic Culture, and how much was the Slavic Culture influenced by the Baltic Culture. The more you ponder, the more you see that perhaps we might be all more genetically related than we think. In the olden times, thousands of years ago, the distinction between Slavs, Germanics, Balts, Nordics, Celts was extremely thin. History is so fantastic to study! I pray that the Lithuanian Culture (including with its many awesome "Baltic-Pagan-pre-Christian" aspects) will rise to its former Baltic glory, and once again, show to everyone its beautiful unique aspects.
