The chimes rang out from Kremlin's Tower, ushering a new day
The 12th of April '61, man ventured into space Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party From a schoolboy out in the pasture, to a pilot protecting the borders
Days of war and misery, had liberated Yuri
The closeness of the continents, essential unity of all humans
What wonderful soil this would be, in which peace and friendship could seed

Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party

Dear friends, compatriots, and people of all continents
In a few minutes a mighty ship will carry me into the distance
What can I say to you in these last moments?
At this moment my life seems so condensed into one wonderful moment
To be the first to endter the cosmos, to engage, single handed
In an unprecedented duel with nature. Could one ask for anything more?

Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
