JURATE AND KASTYTIS

The sun is sinking in the west,Turn back, Kastytis, in a hurry! Your dear old mother finds no rest, She will be wearing down with worry Until she sees your flapping sails Approaching on the foaming waves.

Saulutė leidžias vakaruos;Skubėk namo, skubėk, Kastyti!Matutė laukus nekantruos:Jai nusibos besižvalgytiĮ besiūbuojančias maresIr vėjo ištemptas bures.

But when a song of love she sings, But when a song of love she sings,

As sad as a lament it rings.As sad as a lament it rings.

Dabar lietuvė pamariais,Suvarsčius gintarų siūlelį,Sau mėgsta baltą kaklą jaisGražiai papuošti prieš bernelį;Bet kai meilužę uždainuos,Ji skamba tonuose liūdnuos.
