I don't remember if it's still officially the song of the Cosmonaut program, but I've always found it hauntingly beautiful.

 

 

The earth in the viewport, the earth in the viewport,

The earth in the illuminator is visible...

The way a son would miss his mother, the way a son would miss his mother,

We miss the earth - there is no other.

 

And the stars even so, the stars even so

Are getting closer but remain as cold.

And just like in the time of eclipse, just like in the time of eclipse,

We seek the light and dream earthly dreams.

 

And dream we not of the thundorous spaceport,

Not of this icy azure,

We're dreaming of the grass outside our homes,

The green, green grass.

 

And fly we like orbits,

Through untouched paths,

Embroiding the space with meteors.

The risk and bravery are justified,

The music of the space

Is sipping into our formal chat.

 

In dim smoke,

The earth in the illuminator -

Sun-set mingled with sun-rise.

The son is missing his mother, missing his mother,

And the mother is waiting for her son,

And so is the earth.

 

And dream we not of the thundorous spaceport,

Not of this icy azure,

We're dreaming of the grass outside our homes,

The green, green grass.
