Lyrics

Астронавт, космонавт
Пошли лучших из них наверх
Как только они залетят далеко
Пусть сфотографируют нас с...

[Translated from Russian:]
"Astronaut, cosmonaut
Send the best of them up
Once they get far
Let them take a picture of us with..."

Astronaut, send us up
Once I'm out, I'll beam you shots
As long as you, will turn me back to you

Cosmonaut, best you got
Way too far, from the stars
Promise to, return me back to you

Bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum ba-bum bum bum bum bum
