Laika

She was Russian and her name was Laika
She was a very normal dog
She went from being an ordinary animal
To be a worldwide star

They put her inside a spaceship
To watch her reaction
She was the first astronaut
In the outer space
In the outer space

The rocket was ready to take off
Ground control says goodbye to Laika

The base was completely silent
Waiting for a signal
All with headphones in the ear
They heard the dog barking

While in Earth there was a big party
Screams, laughter, cries and champagne
Laika looked through the window
What will that colored ball be?
And what do I do spinning around?

The rocket was ready to take off
Ground control says goodbye to Laika

One night through the telescope
A new light showed up
No one could give an explanation
To apparition of the new Sun

And if we listen to the legend
Then we'll have to think
That on Earth there's one less dog
And in sky there's one more star
And in sky there's one more star

The rocket was ready to take off
Ground control says goodbye to Laika

Goodbye
