Песенка моего друга [Pesenka moego druga] [English translation]

There stand palaces, there stand train stations

And manufacturing buildings

And manufacturing buildings

The addresses which I could name.

But without me, but without me

There would be nothing standing here

There would be nothing standing here

If it were that I did not exist

The great dam stands in all its glory

A frenzied stream will surge

A frenzied stream will surge

The river generates current

But without me, but without me

No current would be generated

No current would be generated

If it were that I did not exist

Farewell our Earth, the time has come

A rocket flies into the heavens

A rocket flies into the heavens

And brings wonder across the world.

But without me, but without me

There would be nothing flying here

There would be nothing flying here

If it were that I did not exist

And who am I? - a simple worker

A friendly family man

A friendly family man

I live, as you, in the Space Race.

But without me, but without me

The sun wouldn't rise in the morning

The sun wouldn't rise in the morning

If it were that I did not exist
