뜻
Describing sunny weather.
문화적 배경
The sun is a central figure in Lithuanian 'Dainos' (folk songs), often called 'Motulė Saulė' (Mother Sun). Saulė is believed to ride a chariot across the sky pulled by two white horses, Ašvieniai. Lithuanians have a high rate of seasonal affective disorder, making 'Saulė šviečia' a phrase of genuine psychological relief. The 'Sun' motif is the most common pattern in Lithuanian folk art, found on everything from distaffs to roof ornaments.
