Gagarin
[Verse 1]
Говорит Москва
This is Moscow
This is Moscow calling
On the 12th of April, the Soviet Union orbited a spaceship around the Earth with a man on board
The astronaut is a Soviet citizen
[Chorus]
Major Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich
(Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich)
[Verse 2]
The world's first cosmonaut
The first to open the door into the unknown
The first to step over the threshold of our homeland
[Chorus]
(Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich)
The whole planet knew him and loved him
Gagarin
[Verse 3]
Was it hazardous? Yes, it was
The first strides into the unknown were about to be made
[Chorus]
(Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich)
The hero who blazed the trail for the stars
[Bridge]
Every one of us was with Yuri Gagarin as he orbited the Earth 190 miles above us
Astronaut to Earth
I can see forests, rivers, cumulus clouds all around
Everything's so beautiful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful
[Chorus]
The whole planet knew him and loved him
[Transmission from Gagarin]
