[English]
Ready for takeoff!
You have probably heard
About this brave little girl 
All we know is that she saved the world
She got sent away 
But she wasn’t afraid
Though she was alone in the dark, big space
Left the cheering crowd
Went above the clouds 
Rocket going high
Then they said goodbye 
She still wonders why
But she loves to fly
I hope Laika never died and  that she spins around us still 
And that she has a party  in the air and always will 
I hope that she is dancing  every night among the stars 
I hope Laika is alive 
Laika party in the sky
Laika party in the sky
Bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam 
Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam 
Bara ram bam bam bam Bam bam
Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam 
Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam
Through the comets and the stones
She is howling for her bones 
Singing along to the stars and sun
And if she didn’t fly 
Nor would you and I
A forever hero for human kind
Left the cheering crowd
Went above the clouds 
Rocket going high
Then they said goodbye 
She still wonders why
But she loves to fly
I hope Laika never died and  that she spins around us still 
And that she has a party  in the air and always will 
I hope that she is dancing  every night among the stars 
I hope Laika is alive
Laika party in the sky
Laika party in the sky
Bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam 
Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam 
Ba ra ram bam bam bam Bam bam 
Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam 
Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam
Laika party in the sky (ooh)
Laika party in the sky (ooh)
Bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam 
Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam Ba ra ram bam bam bam bam bam
