Is Someone Singing [I.S.S.] [Russian translation]

On solid fuel and wires

Turn the key and the light the fires.

We’re leaving Earth today

The rockets burning bright

We’ll soon be out of sight

And orbiting in space

Pushed back in my seat

Look out my window

There goes home

That ball of shiny blue houses everybody anybody ever knew

So sing your song I’m listening out where stars are glistening

I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon

If you could see our Nation from the international space station

You’d know why I want to get back soon (get back soon)

Eighteen thousand miles an hour

Fueled by science and solar power

The oceans racing past

At half a thousand tons

Ninety minutes Moon to Sun

A bullet can’t go half this fast

Floating from my seat

Look out my window

There goes Home (There goes home)

That brilliant ball of blue

Is where I’m from, and also where I’m going to

So sing your song I’m listening out where stars are glistening

I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon

If you could see our Nation from the international space station

You’d know why I want to get back soon (get back soon)

All back and white just fades to grey

Where the sunrises sixteen times a day

You can’t make out borders from up here

Just a spinning ball within a tiny atmosphere (atmosphere)

Pushed back in the seat

Look out my window

Here comes home (ho-ho-home)

What once was fueled by fear

Now has fifteen Nation orbiting together here.

So sing your song I’m listening out where stars are glistening

I can hear your voices bouncing off the moon

If you could see our Nation from the international space station

You’d know why I want to get back soon (get back soon)

You’d know why I want to get back soon (getting back to you)

You’d know why I want to get back soon (getting back to you)

You’d know why I want to get back soon (getting back to you)

You’d know why I want to get back soon
