THE STAR-SPANGLED UNIVERSE ©, 2015 --- An application for Anthem of American Astronauts (2nd edition)

MY FOREWORD

     Yup, you see now my first own poem, which is intended to look at least like a country song, and at its very most The Anthem of American Astronauts. Previously, getting U.S. Fellow, I have already translated into English all counterparts' songs about cosmonauts, which just underline that country and its success in a space are not separated. So this my claim is very timely.

     Why not, if everybody on U.S. territory still and forever prays for their First at any everyday living situation, include any "tin can" environment at any mankind frontier, like ISS. Thought I cannot afford to open an ISS hatch by a boot kick, as recently any smart-ass producer did, however I am applying for my wish to become a truth. Because it is appeared before me as a bothering issue that American astronauts still do not have own anthem, as a song seriously written to praise their duties and responsibilities. What a problem! Now! By making differences and finalizing the breakthrough in our mentalities, as it was already a long time ago claimed/twitted. Blast Off, U.S.A.!

THE STAR-SPANGLED UNIVERSE

[ This is a poem edition. In the country song edition wording is stretched and slightly renewed .]

[Intro - dreamily]

Long time we travel widely over our star-spangled universe
For centuries in our past well trained in marketing and bargains
As of today we eager for success in the deep space
So in meantime we're enjoying all useful vegs from a space garden

[Verse 1 - solemnly]

We're living in world that is always highlighted by stars (1)

While awards from The Home approve that distinctions for us (2)

What is else in the world that is as so high as a flight

We know - star-spangled for all universe by its mythic depictions (3)

[Chorus]

We're watching all of you on Earth through the portholes
Despite that we are in a reality so high
We really do value your so supportive pride for astronautics
So don't mind a shine in our eyes, as you know why

[Post-Chorus - joyfully] 

At frontiers that's miles over Earth
We are forced by gravity over globe
Traveling star-spangled universe
In weightlessness, oh guys, that's cool
We go green - we save on fuel
Traveling star-spangled universe
Star-spangled universe

[Verse 2 - soulfully]

We fly between stars and they always pay us attention
By sharing all their lights, you know, they are everywhere
So we share the science the our skills and so our gumption
We've vanquished in orbital space, given cross us to bear.

[Chorus]

We're watching all of you on Earth through the portholes
Despite that we are in a reality so high
We really do value your so supportive pride for astronautics
So don't mind a shine in our eyes, as you know why

[Post-Chorus - joyfully] 

At frontiers that's miles over Earth
We are forced by gravity over globe
Traveling star-spangled universe
In weightlessness, oh guys, that's cool
We go green - we save on fuel
Traveling star-spangled universe
Star-spangled universe

[Instrumental Bridge]

Star-spangled universe

[Chorus in dialogue]

We're watching all of you on Earth through the portholes
Despite that we are in a reality so high
We really do value your so supportive pride for astronautics
So don't mind a shine in our eyes, as you know why

You watch all of us on Earth through the portholes
Despite that you're in a reality so high
We're all really so highly proud with success of astronauts
So don't mind a shine in our eyes, as you know why 

[Post-Chorus - joyfully] 

At frontiers that's miles over Earth
We are forced by gravity over globe
Traveling star-spangled universe
In weightlessness, oh guys, that's cool
We go green - we save on fuel
Traveling star-spangled universe
Star-spangled universe

[Outro]

We're watching all of you on Earth through the portholes
Traveling star-spangled universe
You watch all of us on Earth through the portholes
Believe some day we're gonna join you
We're watching all of you on Earth through the portholes
Traveling star-spangled universe
You watch all of us on Earth through the portholes
Believe some day we're gonna join you!


I've done, CAPCOM!

MY AFTERWORD AND COMMENTS

I do lyrics translations, but fifty years of my previous life I had lived under influence of U.S. counterpart mentality. This difference means that my wording is always based on thoughtful content and latter is never intended to play along to any simplicity, but on the contrary encourages to think ahead. It is just written to praise professionals. Really, I feel the necessity to write my own song for people, country and its heroes and I have taken that as a my personal call, and my own real challenge to prevail in it. However, not in any stilted speech or street slang, but in my plain English: 

1. The phrase "We're living in world that highlighted by stars (1)" mentions the STARS around us, as military officers, civil agencies' officers, professionals in every industry, and even actors and artists of any kind ;-)

2. The phrase "And stars from The Home approve that distinctions" (2) mentions governmental AWARDS from a state, as orders, medals, ranks and other promotions, and, sure, the Home means Homeland;

3. The phrase "We know - star-spangled for all universe - by depictions" (3) mentions that everybody interested in a space research is truly fascinated by IMAGES of galaxies with its fabulous nebula and spellbinding expanses, whether they are represented by artists' works, or seen through lenses of telescopes.

So what? You see - there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING COMPLICATED. In a dedication of your sufferings, reader, I do those [Chorus] and [Post-Chorus] slightly easier (but this is still me ;-). Since I write to apply for an anthem it is important not to fall down to language of "tin can" or any foolish rhyme, like any street language. I do not have any audience. My audience is a PC-screen, but I know what I am doing, so I am editing my work progressively, and responsibly. Thanks.
