Intro
The saga of gordo, trailblazer in space
The saga of gordo, trailblazer in space
Here is the story of a three-year-old chimpanzee
Here is the story of a three-year-old chimpanzee
Serving the cause of science
Serving the cause of science
The little chimp has been carefully selected
The little chimp has been carefully selected
Thoroughly examined and patiently tutored
Thoroughly examined and patiently tutored
To help mankind discover whether living creatures
To help mankind discover whether living creatures
Can survive travel in space
Can survive travel in space
Under the watchful eyes of airport scientists
Under the watchful eyes of airport scientists
1958 im dezember, draußen ist es heiß
1958 in December, outside it is hot
Sie holen ihn aus seinem käfig
They get him out of his cage
Es herrscht hektik und
There is a rush and
Überall männer in weiß
Everywhere men in white
Er bekommt ein' helm aufgesetzt
He gets a' helmet put on
Kann kaum geradeaus sehen
Can hardly look straight
Traurig schaut er zu miss baker
Sadly he looks too miss baker
Kratzt sich am hals
Scratches at the neck
Sie räum' die startrampe frei
You clear the launch pad free
Der countdown läuft, alles beept
The countdown is running, everything is beept
Und dann hebt er ab
And then he takes off
Wolken zieh'n vorbei
Clouds pass by
Während er weite empor steigt
As it rises wide
Er schaut nach unten aus dem fenster
He looks down from the window
Alles blau, kein dschungel und keinthoure stadt
All blue, no jungle and no city
Er fühlt sich alleine und so schwach
He feels alone and so weak
Kurz vor der ohnmacht
Shortly before fainting
Und dann schwerelos
And then weightless
Er löst sein gurt stößt sich ab
He detaches his belt knocks off
Wie von allein
As if by itself
Und fängt an zu schweben
And starts to float
Ängstlich sucht er halt
Anxious, he's just looking for
Mittem im raum und hat zeit
middle in the room and has time
Die sterne im weiten all mit dem mond zu sehen
The stars to be seen in the wide all with the moon
Und dem blauen planeten
And the blue planet
Ihm komm die tränen denn
To him come the tears
Er erinnert sich an zuhaus'
He remembers home'
Ich weiß nicht was ich hier oben soll
I don't know what to do up here
So ohne tag und ohne nacht
So without day and without night
Möchte gar nicht so weit fort sein
Don't want to be so far away
Die erde, ich möchte dort sein
The earth, I want to be there
Ich hab alle knöpfe und hebel gedrückt
I pressed all buttons and levers
Alles gemacht was ihr sagt
Everything you say
Wann ist es vorbei?
When is it over?
Endlich vorbei
Finally over
Kann ich zurück?
Can I go back?
Kann ich zurück?
Can I go back?
Alles wackelt alles glüht
Everything wobbles all glowing
Mir ist heiß
I'm hot
Was habt ihr gemacht
What did you do
Seid ihr verschwunden?
Are you gone?
Hallo, da unten
Hello, down there
Es wird hell, blitzschnell
It gets bright, lightning fast
Die kapsel fällt und fällt weiter hinab
The capsule falls and falls further down
14 minuten
14 minutes
Und 60 sekunden
And 60 seconds
14 minuten
14 minutes
Und 60 sekunden
And 60 seconds
Dann ist alles vorbei
Then it's all over
