Viļānu City Anthem

As white as Ieva's shelf,
As charming as a bite
A city ON the shore OF Maltas
And it sounds like the closest poetry.

Look, look, Look!
Those people among the history cutters!
How hard it is, so hard-
Generates the hardest rocks.

Here our fathers and grandfathers,
The white church of the white goddess,
That's what we're really looking for!-
We're part of the country.

Look, look, Look!
Those people among the history cutters!
How hard it is, so hard-
Generates the hardest rocks.

Shuffle waters Malta
Change of generations
Hearts recorded at heart
