La increíble historia del camarada Vladimir

My dear Nadia,
I haven't been able to write before.
The Soyuz failures
are becoming concerning
and my capsule fell
out of control,
in a place near New York.
I've been lucky
because no one saw me.
The professional league
is at its peak,
and who would have thought that all of New York
would be glued to the TV?

You've gotten yourself into a real mess,
from which you won't be able to escape,
may luck be with you,
Comrade Vladimir.

I regret
having been a cosmonaut.
On my father's farm
they've always missed me.
I'll have to hijack a boat or a plane
destined for a COMECON country.

You've gotten yourself into a real mess,
from which you won't be able to escape,
may luck be with you,
Comrade Vladimir.
