Gordo [English translation]

December 1958, outside it's hot

they take him out of his cage

At first it is hectic and

everywhere are men dressed in white

they fasten his helmet

he can barely look straight

sadly he looks for Miss Baker

he scratches his neck

they remove the launch pad

the countdown is on

and then he flies

clouds pass by

(clouds pass by)

while he flies higher

(while he flies higher)

he looks down

out of the window, everything is blue

no jungle, no city

he feels alone and so weak

(he feels alone and so weak)

right before fainting

(right before fainting)

and then weightless

He releases his belt, pushes off

almost automatically

and starts to float

frightened he is looking for an anchor

he is in the middle of space and has the time

to see the stars in the wide space

and the moon

and the blue planet

he starts crying

because it reminds him of home

and he thinks:

I don't know what to do up here

without day and night

I don't want to be so far away

(I don't want to be so far away)

the earth- I want to be there

the earth- I want to be there

I pushed all the buttons and livers

I did all you were asking for

When will it be over?

(When will it be over?)

Finally over

(Finally over)

Can I come back?

Can I come back?

Everything is shaking, everything is freezing

It is really hot, what have you done?

have you vanished?

(have you vanished?)

Hallo down there

Hallo down there

now there light everywhere

and fast as lightning the capsule is falling lower and lower

14 minutes

(14 minutes)

and 60 seconds

(and 60 seconds)

14 minutes and 60 seconds,

then it's all over
