"As you already know, my reader, I translate famous Russian songs, when any line of verse or even any word from song touches my romantic soul.
On January 29, 2015 I have, finally, visited the spacecraft launchpad to join a history in accordance to NASA schedule to launch SMAP space laboratory, designed to keep its electronic eye on Earth water sources and, correspondingly, to help us to solve all related issues. Hence the first words reasonably came from the popular Russian song of 1937 - the time of the happy years of my parents before WWII - the song "Water Carrier" from the soviet movie "Volga-Volga"* saying literally: "Why am I water carrier is an odd question: because without water there is no way to survive. That is." (BKZ)
Really, SMAP works for Earth - our favorite planet and global homeland. So the next translation is ... "I believe, my friends" (or in my interpretation taken just for better lyrical transfer - "I tell all my friends").
There are also other titles for this song aka "Fourteen minutes before lift-off"; "Maps are already in cases"; "On the dusty paths of other planets". So enjoy my next work!
P.S. Sure, I done with my first "mission" - I saw the spaceship lift-off myself on Saturday, Jan.31, 2015.
I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS

They're organized in cases
The maps of Universe
And navigating officer's
Responding "Verified!"
Let's sing, my buddies **
The song before liftoff
As there's countdown
And minutes slowly run
R
I tell all my friends
That convoys of the rockets
Are going to bring us
Ahead between stars
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
The our steps could be seen
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
The our steps could be seen
2
Sometime over the years
We could recall with friends
As on the starry roads
We were the first on every path
Forever we could first
Who reached stargazed goal
And could on planet Earth
From outside to look
R
I tell all my friends
That convoys of the rockets
Are going to bring us
Ahead between stars
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
The our steps could be seen
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
The our steps could be seen
3
They wait for us a long time
The deep space other planets
Forgotten by attendees
Of tacit universe
But no one from planets
Wants meet with us as this one
The favorite blue planet
Nicknamed easy - Earth.
R
I tell all my friends
That convoys of the rockets
Are going to bring us
Ahead between stars
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
The our steps could be seen
Musical Pause
R
I tell all my friends
That convoys of the rockets
Are going to bring us
Ahead between stars
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
The our steps could be seen
And on dusty paths
Of far away planets
The our steps could be seen

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRIC
Я ВЕРЮ ДРУЗЬЯ
1
Заправлены в планшеты
Космические карты,
И штурман уточняет
В последний раз маршрут.
Давайте-ка, ребята,
Закурим перед стартом,
У нас еще в запасе
Четырнадцать минут.
Припев:
Я верю, друзья,
Караваны ракет
Помчат нас вперед
От звезды до звезды.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
2
Когда-нибудь с годами
Припомним мы с друзьями,
Как по дорогам звездным
Вели мы первый путь,
Как первыми сумели
Достичь заветной цели
И на родную Землю
Со стороны взглянуть.
Припев:
Я верю, друзья,
Караваны ракет
Помчат нас вперед
От звезды до звезды.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
3
Давно нас ожидают
Далекие планеты,
Холодные планеты,
Безмолвные поля.
Но ни одна планета
Не ждет нас так, как эта,
Планета дорогая
По имени Земля.
Припев:
Я верю, друзья,
Караваны ракет
Помчат нас вперед
От звезды до звезды.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
Музыкальный проигрыш
Припев:
Я верю, друзья,
Караваны ракет
Помчат нас вперед
От звезды до звезды.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
На пыльных тропинках
Далеких планет
Останутся наши следы.
У этой песни есть и другие названия: "14 миут до старта", "Заправлены в планшеты", "На пыльных тропинках".
Слова Владимира Войновича
Музыка Оскара Фельцмана
