When a cosmonaut cries
His tears don’t fall
They well up in his eyes
And form a little ball
They float around his head
And they splash against the wall
Oh, when a cosmonaut cries
Oh, when a cosmonaut cries

Когда плачет космонавт, он плачет всерьёз,
В глазах образуются шарики слёз,
Летают, плывут, превращаются в мяч,
Ой, Гагарин, не плачь.

And robots don’t cry
And comets don’t cry
And rockets don’t cry
And nor do octopi
And babies don’t cry
Except when they cry
But oh, how cosmonauts cry
Oh, how cosmonauts cry

Ven a kosmonoyt veynt
Es faln nisht di trern
Zey gisn zikh aroys
A myatshikl tsu vern
Zey shvebn zikh arum
Dem kop vi di shtern
Oy, ven a kosmonoyt veynt
Oy, ven a kosmonoyt veynt
