Gagarin Lyrics - The Race For Space - Public Service Broadcasting

Говорит Москва 

This is Moscow 

This is Moscow calling 

On the 12th of April, the Soviet Union orbited a spaceship around the Earth with a man on board 

The astronaut is a Soviet citizen: Major Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich 

(Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich) 

The world's first cosmonaut 

The first to open the door into the unknown 

The first to step over the threshold of our homeland

(Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich) 

The whole planet knew him and loved him 

Gagarin 

Was it hazardous? Yes, it was 

The first strides into the unknown were about to be made 

(Gagarin, Yuri Alekseevich) 

The hero who blazed the trail for the stars 

Photos 

Every one of us was with Yuri Gagarin as he orbited the Earth 190 miles above us 

Astronaut to Earth: I can see forests, rivers, cumulus clouds all around 

Everything's so beautiful, it's wonderful, it's wonderful 

The whole planet knew him and loved him 

Gagarin
