Wer Ist Sigmund Jähn? [English translation]

Who is Sigmund Jahn?

who, who....

it was really lovely in space

I think back on it fondly

it was really long ago

this feeling – the big happiness

this song is one of the sounds

for unknown cosmonauts

we would unwillingly do without

a monument to him is erected

which stands in full splendour

in Morgenrote - Rautenkranz

send us a cheque

it's for a good purpose

nonetheless

thank you very much

for the concern

I accept the cheque with thanks

it was really lovely
