Yuri - Oi Va Voi

Russian radio translation:

«This is Moscow speaking, all radio transmitters in the soviet union are

broadcasting.

We have received news from the state news agency Tass about the world’s first

flight of man in space.»

I am a rocket

The power of the system

It’s bullet-proof technology

Oh we’re going to a new world

Going to a better place

This is just the first step

And everyone will follow me

Hold me up as an example

There’s no need to watch my back

'Cause my friends have got it for me

I’m gonna go down in history

As the man who made a difference

Call me egotistical

Well how dare you care you call me selfish

I’m doing this for mankind

'Cause I am a rocket

A child of the motherland

Pioneer for humanity,

I’m a wholesome superhero

For the worldwide society

We’re heading out to outer space

We’re going forth for the human race

'Cause I am a prodigy

A part of the master plan

A symbol of equality

Blasting out into the future

I’m a man defying gravity

They’ll build me a monument

Name everything after me

Schools and hospitals

Armies of boys and girls

I’m gonna live forever

Immortality is mine!

We’re heading out to outer space

We’re going forth for the human race

We’re heading out to outer space

We’re going forth for the human race

Russian radio:

«The cosmonaut pilot of the space ship Sputnik Vostok

is the citizen of the Soviet Union of Socialist Respublics,

pilot Major Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin.»
