Songtext von Sputnik

This is the beginning of a new era for mankind The era of man's cosmic existence You will now hear the voice of the Russian Moon Russian Moon, Moon, Moon All over the world, people are tuning in to the 'bleep bleep bleep' of the satellite A dream cherished by men for many centuries comes true on October the 4th, 1957 The man made celestial body, for the first time in history Overcame terrestrial gravity and flew into space All men of all nations recognise this as a great achievement In an age where the race to conquer space has become an all-absorbing factor The era of man's cosmic existence Will the bleep of the satellite bring people closer together in a common understanding? Or as the Earth shrinks, the universe stretches forth its beckoning hand in a gesture to all mankind To all mankind, to all mankind We have added a new word to our vocabulary Sputnik, Sputnik, Sputnik, Sputnik, Sputnik
