to take off


You hear the command to take off,
The password is incredible heights -
And in the sky, our road go
From earthly invisible gate:

  CHORUS:

Sky is blue,
Became a pilot for the fate,
The sky is good and evil,
blue,
stormy,
You became my destiny -
I and your god and your subject!

There were storms, and storms, and ice,
But the team was calling us to take off,
And we have been in such alterations -
Only flew all understand:

  CHORUS

A year passed, and perhaps not the year -
It sounds in the air "to you to take off"
And all its combat squadron
We leave in an interplanetary flight:

  CHORUS

At the command of the familiar again
Star of world we leave to storm:
Pilot can not be an astronaut -
Astronaut can not fly!

  CHORUS 1965
