Laika-koira [English translation]

She wears a big space helmet

And a small antenna attached to it

If that antenna is too loud,

Her broadcasts to Earth will bre-bre-break up

(10, 9, 8, 7)

The countdown has started, tensions are rising

(6, 5, 4, 3)

It's time for the rocket to launch

(2, 1, blast off!)

Hey, what's that up in the sky?

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

She happily wags her tail

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

She is rapidly orbiting the Earth

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

And we send her our best regards

Laika the dog, Laika the dog

Woof woof! (La-la-la-laika)

Bow wow! (La-la-la-la...)

She sees Saturn's rings through the window

She greets the Man in the Moon and wonders if he's made of cheese

A little green Martian flies past in his UFO

And shouts through the window, "You have another taillight out!"

Hey, what's that up in the sky?

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

She happily wags her tail

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

She is rapidly orbiting the Earth

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

And we send her our best regards

Laika the dog, Laika the dog

"This is Laika the dog, can the ground station hear me?

I send my greetings to all my friends

Space is a nice place, I'm enjoying it

I've fit in well even though it's a long time"

Hey, what's that up in the sky?

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

She happily wags her tail

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

She is rapidly orbiting the Earth

Laika the dog, Laika the dog, whoa-oh-oh

And we send her our best regards

Laika the dog, Laika the dog

Laika!
