Verse 1
So many years have passed, but cold burns in my chest
Hey, Earth, hello, I am «Voyager 1», come in, urgently come in!
I have roamed around the Milky Way to my heart’s content
Yet couldn’t find another waymark for myself
You are now billions of versts¹ away, there are no supernovae
Among old stars everything is so second-hand,
But I need the «first», I’m an uninvited guest, studying here
Extraterrestrial life through the lens of tears. It sounds like revenge...
Prechorus
The silence in your answer, in my throat there is a lump the size of Jupiter
Pain the size of a hundred of square light millenia²
I am not in your orbit, being blown away by the stellar wind
That aims far beyond the horizon of your events
Chorus
She is the be-all and end-all of this world³
This distant point there behind
The best possible planet
Except she has been gone for a long time, she can no longer be found
She is the be-all and end-all of this world
This distant point there behind
The best possible planet
Except she has been gone for a long time, there’s only a ghost trail, she can no longer be found
Verse 2
Covering the black hole with my ribs
I will devour all our worlds right into it
Not a single photon will escape
Two octillion tons as a load on my soul
Carrying somehow, cause I need to
I’m asking you, at least one signal! At least one impulse!
Come in, urgently come in, I can’t manage
Vacuum is all around, I’m over my head in it
Hey, Earth, hello, sweet home, hear my wail already, it is «Voyager»!
Prechorus
Silence is in your answer, in my throat there is a lump the size of Jupiter
Pain the size of a hundred of square light millenia
I am not in your orbit, being blown away by the stellar wind
That aims far beyond the horizon of your events
Chorus
She is the be-all and end-all of this world
This distant point there behind
The best possible planet
Except she has been gone for a long time, she can no longer be found
She is the be-all and end-all of this world
This distant point there behind
The best possible planet
Except she has been gone for a long time, there’s only a ghost trail, she can no longer be found
