about

Written by Pandev... ("ПОЕХАЛИ!" in Russian means something to the effect of "Here we go")

lyrics

He was nothin’ but a simple country boy
Klushino is much like Dunkle, Illinois
Drinks may not be the same in the local bars
But at night when you look up you can see the very same stars

He just wanted to touch the sky
So he took to machines, for flyin’ high
In Saratov, it was his first Yak-18
Never imaginin’ how far it would take his dream

12th of April, 1961
He rode that Vostok higher than anyone
They gave him wings then they kept him on earth
Can’t risk a hero, for what that’s worth


Don’t need no Memphis to lose yourself
Star City outside Moscow will do just as well
In ’68, one last jump to the sky
The plane went down, nobody knows why
