Greeting to everybody!
It has appeared somehow difficult to decide which one from my works to introduce first for your independent judgment, Fellows. Despite my peaceful approach and mentioning the temporary troubles between well known competitors I believe that world issues shall be considered wisely and for generations ahead, but through prism of political sales only. Hence as very first song I offer one from the topic about space program. It was done on May 5, 2014 in my dedication to CNN iReport invitation to the interview with USA astronaut Steve Swanson.
What I am going to deliver to you now is that there are reasonable expressions shown by Earthmen from the related countries in accordance to their success with space programs. Let see and compare - let us try to understand each other:
Russian version (it is translated below): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc_Ko0Zf-G8
American version(upcoming translation into Russian): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj8pi-gb2Og
But latter was just finally found as something much closer**.
However the music and related impressions, you see, are very different. Well, as I told you, it is gonna be translated into Russian later, within my kind of exchange program :-) For example, there is circulated the Russian cosmonauts professional anthem, so if I find American one, sure, I gonna translate that too.
So, let us listen to my "I am Earth*" translation from Russian and, sure, we are trying to perform it on our own:
1.
We're excited and slightly annoyed
Yes, we did it at wonderful time -
Unimaginable came as potential
Other worlds became open for us;
We have reached their limits
in belief of support
Which we felt by the hearts
as the voice from spaceport...
Refrain
I am Earth.
I see off all my best and well trained -
Beloved daughters and sons...
Go-n-reach outskirts of the Sun
Welcome back to the home just fine!
Gonna reach up to star of the sun ...
Welcome back to the home just fine!
2.
We were launched from beautiful planet
With purpose to share from a space
Only truth just a truth, but some fiction
From the heart we are greeting all you...
With victorious voice
to all colleagues in space
Real voice of the love,
long-awaited signal:
Refrain
I am Earth.
I see off all my best and well trained -
Beloved daughters and sons...
Go-n-reach outskirts of the Sun
Welcome back to the home just fine!
Gonna reach up to star of the sun ...
Welcome back to the home just fine!
3.
No one will diminish high goals
Just with us they are always in team
Cosmonauts, astronauts, all supporters
Who helped Earth going up and ahead
Hence let sounds triumph as for them and for us
From the Earth CAPCOM order and maternal mandate
Refrain
I am Earth.
I see off all my best and well trained -
Beloved daughters and sons...
Go-n-reach outskirts of the Sun
Welcome back to the home just fine!
Gonna reach up to star of the sun ...
Welcome back to the home just fine!
Hence let sounds triumph as for them and for us
From the Earth CAPCOM order and maternal mandate
Refrain
I am Earth.
I see off all my best and well trained -
Beloved daughters and sons...
Go-n-reach outskirts of the Sun
Welcome back to the home just fine!
Well, we'll reach up to star of the sun ...
Welcome back to the home just fine!

ORIGINAL RUSSIAN LYRICS
На душе и легко, и тревожно:
Мы достигли чудесной поры -
Невозможное стало возможным,
Нам открылись иные миры;
Только б мы их пределов достичь не смогли,
Если б сердцем не слышали голос вдали...
Припев
Я Земля.
Я своих провожаю питомцев -
Сыновей, дочерей...
Долетайте до самого Солнца
И домой возвращайтесь скорей!
Долетим мы до самого Солнца...
И домой возвращайтесь скорей...
2.
Покидаем мы Землю родную
Для того, чтоб до звезд и планет
Донести нашу правду земную
И земной наш поклон и привет...
Для того, чтобы всюду победно звучал
Чистый голос любви, долгожданный
сигнал:
Припев
Я Земля.
Я своих провожаю питомцев -
Сыновей, дочерей...
Долетайте до самого Солнца
И домой возвращайтесь скорей!
Долетим мы до самого Солнца...
И домой возвращайтесь скорей...
3.
Далеки, высоки наши цели,
С нами вместе на звездном пути
Те, что жизни своей не жалели
И Земле помогли расцвести!
Пусть победно звучит и для них, и для нас
Командирский приказ, материнский наказ:
Припев
Я Земля.
Я своих провожаю питомцев -
Сыновей, дочерей...
Долетайте до самого Солнца
И домой возвращайтесь скорей!
Долетим мы до самого Солнца...
И домой возвращайтесь скорей...
... Пусть победно звучит и для них, и для нас
Командирский приказ, материнский наказ:
Припев
Я Земля.
Я своих провожаю питомцев -
Сыновей, дочерей...
Долетайте до самого Солнца
И домой возвращайтесь скорей!
Долетим мы до самого Солнца...
И домой возвратимся скорей...

Note_1: the article posted @ iReport
"Tau Ceti: I did it!
CAPCOM: Did what?
Tau Ceti: Challenge for your Swanson!
CAPCOM: Well, 20 seconds makes difference, let's see.
Tau Ceti: Sing us any verse from either Russian Cosmonauts Anthem ("GRASS AT OUR LAWNS") or popular "I AM EARTH" dedicated always to remember your colleagues by industry. Both iReported, ask CNN. A-ha, cool!" (as cited from my iReport exercise).
