| You won't believe me and you just won't understand -
 | 
| It's scarier in space than even in Dante's hell!
 | 
| Through space-time we are on a starship,
 | 
| Like from a mountain on your own backside,
 | 
| From Earth to Beta - eight days,
 | 
| Well, as far as the planet Epsilon,
 | 
| We do not count so as not to go crazy.
 | 
| Eternity and longing - oh, how stuck!
 | 
| We read Kipling by heart,
 | 
| And all around is cosmic darkness.
 | 
| On Earth read in science fiction novels
 | 
| About the possibility of meeting with a foreign creature.
 | 
| We on Earth have forgotten the ten torn commandments,
 | 
| We do not care about all meetings with our neighbor!
 | 
| From Earth to Beta - eight days,
 | 
| Well, as far as the planet Epsilon,
 | 
| We do not count so as not to go crazy.
 | 
| Eternity and longing - oh, how stuck!
 | 
| We read Kipling by heart,
 | 
| And all around is cosmic darkness.
 | 
| We were vaccinated against cheap tears and dreams,
 | 
| From bad diseases and from rabid animals.
 | 
| We don't give a damn about the explosions of all supernovas from space -
 | 
| It used to be more fun on Earth!
 | 
| From Earth to Beta - eight days,
 | 
| Well, as far as the planet Epsilon,
 | 
| We do not count so as not to go crazy.
 | 
| Eternity and longing are toys for us!
 | 
| We read Pushkin by heart,
 | 
| And all around is cosmic darkness.
 | 
| We will not see the former, earthly sky,
 | 
| If you believe the tales of scientists eccentrics.
 | 
| After all, when we return, according to all according to their laws
 | 
| Seven hundred centuries will pass on Earth.
 | 
| That is why laugh -
 | 
| There is nothing to be afraid of on Earth!
 | 
| There are no more prisons and palaces on Earth!
 | 
| They trusted in God, the poor,
 | 
| But now they found out - he is not
 | 
| Now, forever and ever! |
