Humanity's Dream (1961) Lyrics


Humanity's dream's to fly above the clouds,

To pierce the spheres with rocket at last

To see what is there on other planets

And even to conquer the whole universe

And even to conquer the lightspeed force

Go beyond our galaxy,

Take a ride on the Milky Way

Beat off the asteroid belt

See Saturn's hulahoop play

Ride on the stellar winds

To the very edge of macrocosm

And from our radioprotective suits look into -

The black holes,

Breathe the ether,

Breaking free from the Motherearth's crust

Prove that human genius knows

Knows no boundaries

And we can cross the wormholes

Connecting all realities

And finally we reached the dream

The first man flew into the space

All people saw his spaceship's gleam

And full of hopes his fiery trace

Like a light-faced Apollo

Like a gold-eyed Phaethon

He soared over

The blue layer of ozone

It was truly the great day -

The victory of science

And new step on the way

To fully feel

The black matter,

Break the fetters,

Jumping free upon the singular time

(Yuri Gagarin's documentary speech)

And no matter how our aspirations are,

Man should have turned around

And see the earth from his bull's eye -

The first sight from the cosmos saw wars and genocide,

Injustice, theft, betrayals and understanding's "night"

Run or stay?

Save or die?

Soon these questions will arise

Before the mankind!
