Traduzione inglese di Juha Rämö
FLY ON JURI GAGARIN
 
What do the stars smell like?
Do they feel like ivory?
Has planet Earth sung
the song of silence?

First you dance with Africa.
Then see wasted Finland.
Or do you sail the clouds,
clouds, the oceans?
 
Fly on Juri Gagarin
fly on Juri Gagarin
keep the promise running, keep it alive
 
Can you see the missiles
melted to their targets?
Can you see us ashamed
of our innocence?
 
Can you see the money flow?
Where does it go?
Can you see the traders
of defence?
 
Fly on Juri Gagarin
fly on Juri Gagarin
keep the promise running, keep it alive
 
Can you see me smiling at you?
I'm still here waiting.
Can you see lovers
wait for the new year?
 
And when you wear your headphones
and turn up the volume,
can you hear how children
are born down here?
 
Fly on Juri Gagarin
fly on Juri Gagarin
keep the promise running, keep it alive
TO A CHILDHOOD HERO

lapsuudenHow do the stars smell?
Or the bony Moon?
Can you hear the Earth moving
like a silent fugue?

How does Africa look like?
Do the hips of Finland swing
or are they covered
with clouds?

Fly on, Yuri Gagarin,
fly on, Yuri Gagarin.
Come back alive.

Can you see the tracer bullets
stitching the Earth
and people being ashamed
of their innocence?

Can you see the money moving?
Can you see where it goes
when cargo loads of weapons
change hands?

Fly on, Yuri Gagarin,
fly on, Yuri Gagarin.
Come back alive.

Can you see the look in my eyes from there?
The look that's still warm.
Can you see the lovers
over cities?

And when you put on your headphones
and turn the volume to ten,
can you hear children
being born here?

Fly on, Yuri Gagarin,
fly on, Yuri Gagarin.
Come back alive.
