Korolev Songtext

von Public Service Broadcasting

The road to Baikonur started from here
But it was not an easy road

The life of a designer is no parade of victories
There are innumerably more failures
But they must not stop us
They must not stop us
He was in a hurry to live
As though he knew he had but 60 years allotted to him

Fulfill man's dream of the universe
Make the great cosmos tangible
This was to be done by Sergei Korolyov

Higher
Further
Faster than anyone

Everything here speaks of him

The first ballistic rockets
The first intercontinental rockets
The road into the cosmos was open

Higher
Further
Faster than anyone

Higher
Further
Faster than anyone

Everything here speaks of him

Higher
Further
Faster than anyone

Faster than anyone

Higher
Further
Faster than anyone

Faster than anyone

I believe in the future
It is wonderful because it stands on what has been achieved

The road into the cosmos was open
