Yuri's Night Theme Song (mp3) - written for Yuri's Night: The World Space Party
The chimes rang out from Kremlin's Tower, ushering a new day
The 12th of April '61, man ventured into space
Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
From a schoolboy out in the pasture, to a pilot protecting the borders
Days of war and misery, had liberated Yuri
The closeness of the continents, essential unity of all humans
What wonderful soil this would be, in which peace and friendship could seed
Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
Dear friends, compatriots, and people of all continents
In a few minutes a mighty ship will carry me into the distance
What can I say to you in these last moments?
[At this moment] my life seems so condensed into one wonderful moment
To be the first to enter the cosmos, [to] engage, single handed
[In] an unprecedented duel with nature. Could one ask for anything
more?
Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
Yuri Gagarin, you'll be our man tonight, at the World Space Party
