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

Gagarin Yuri Alekseevich

The World's first cosmonaut

The first to open the door into the unknown

The first to step over the threshold of our homeland

Garagin Yuri Alekseevich

The whole planet knew him and loved him

Gagarin

Was is hazardous Yes it was

The first strides into the unknown were about to be made

Garagin Yuri Alekseevich

The hero who blazed the trail for the stars

Every one of us was with Yuri Gagarin as he orbited the Earth 190 miles above us

Everything's so beautiful it's wonderful it wonderful

The whole planet knew him and loved him

Gagarin
