Juknaičiai Basic school Song The bird flew
1. Ir atlėkė paukščiuke Marių rožių mažiukė, Tai gražiai ji čiulbėjo, Obelėlėj tupėjo. 2. - Nečiulbėki, paukščiuke, Marių rožių mažiuke,- Dar dabar neseniai, Kaip tėvelį užmigdžiau. 4. - Nečiulbėki, paukščiuke, Marių rožių mažiuke,- Dar dabar neseniai, Kaip močiutę užmigdžiau. 5. Ir atlėkė paukščiuke Marių rožių mažiukė, Tai gražiai ji čiulbėjo, Obelėlėj tupėjo. 3. Ir atlėkė paukščiukė Marių rožių mažiukė Tai gražiai ji čiulbėjo, Obelėlėj tupėjo.

About Suvalkija Suvalkija or Sudovia (Lithuanian: Sūduva or Suvalki ja) is flat land, and people are very rational, clever, and extremely frugal, even greedy. Such stereotypes, also applied to other regions, gave rise to many anecdotes and practical jokes. Suvalkija is the smallest of the five cultural regions of Lithuania. Historically, it is the newest ethnographic region. There were a lot of educated people in this region: the patriarch of Lithuanian independence Jonas Basanavičius, Vincas Kudirka, the author of the Lithuanian nation anthem, and Jonas Jablonskis, a linguist frequently credited with the creation of a standardized Lithuanian language. Dialects spoken in Suvalkija became the basis for the modern language.

Agriculture Suvalkija remains the least-forested area of Lithuania. Suvalkija remains one of the most important agricultural regions of Lithuania, harvesting large crops of sugar beets.
Traditional clothing Traditional peasant clothing in Suvalkija, while consisting of the same basic items, can be clearly differentiated from clothing in other parts of Lithuania. Because the region was relatively wealthier, the clothes were richer in color, decoration, and ornament. They were also made of better and more expensive materials, including brocade, silk, wool, and damask.
Suvalkija women wore wide, gathered skirts of one main color (dark and rich, such as dark red, blue, violet, or green) with narrow multi-colored stripes woven into the fabric. Women's blouses in Suvalkija are distinguishable from those of other regions by their wider sleeves and by more extensive decorations. Their aprons were especially richly decorated and colorful. Women also wore richly decorated sashes around their waists.
Young girls and married women could be told apart by their headdresses.
Men's wear was simpler and only occasionally decorated with a modest amount of embroidery. Men wore caftans pleated at the back. These caftans, usually sewn from light gray or white woolen cloth, were later replaced by coats. Shirts, resembling a tunic, were sewn from white linen cloth and were not usually decorated. The most ormamental detail of men's garments were the decorative patterned sashes they wore around their waists. Men also wore high boots and hats with straight brims that were decorated with feathers and flowers.
Dances People like to dance in Suvalkija. They like playful and illustrated dances such as : Tupi žvirblis pabaryje. They also like usual dances: Ciceliukė Marceliukė, Kubilas, Pipiras.
Food Suvalkiečių pride - the fantastic flavor of meat products: homemade Skilandis, smoked sausage, black rye bread, smoked ham.
From the old time Suvalkieciai liked to cook red soup (from beet) with pork s ears. Fried duck with cherries. Cake Simtalapis Traditional Suvalkietiškas drink - homemade blackcurrant wine.
Music instruments The musical traditions of Suvalkija are distinctive. The kanklės, possibly the most archaic Lithuanian instrument, took on distinguishable characteristics in the region. Suvalkieciai loved to play with kanklemis during different family celebrations: christening, parties and other entertainments.
