To distant planets! These wonderful days The world will not forget ever - Star expensive rocket Hurtling earthly man! Time hero ordered him Plunge into the blue darkness - Sun, Moon and Venus Illuminate the path to it! Chorus: Bright and proud, jubilant labor country! Great faith, the will of our glory land! heights unreachable for the brave hearts there! Us leads to the stars and to exploit the Kremlin calls the constellation! Our friend and faithful companion To distant planets flying - Stars twinkle barely Somewhere in the Milky Way. And on a remote crossroads He recalls away Rivers, meadows and birch Cute and good land. Chorus. People meeting each other, Look into the heavenly space - Residents of the sultry south, Residents of tundra and mountains! Hurtling rocket earth Past the deserted planet - Glory to the country's labor - The birthplace of the glorious victories! Chorus. These wonderful days The world will not forget ever - Star expensive rocket Hurtling earthly man! 1962
