어릴 때부터 우주견 라이카 이야기를 정말 싫어했다.
그 얘기를 들으면 우주에 대한 호기심을 느낀 게 아니라
쓸쓸하게 우주선 안에서 죽어간 강아지가 떠올랐기 때문이다.
물론 라이카는 우주선이 발사되고 3시간 남짓해 바로 죽었지만
자기에겐 아무 의미없는 무언가를 위해 아무것도 모른 채,
허무하게 죽은 그 개가 항상 슬펐다.
그래서인지 이상하게도
이 노래를 들으면 무지 슬프다.
듣고 있다가
우리 강아지, 쿠마로 형제들을 꼭 안아주었다.
Hello people! I'm a Space Dog. To aim at going over stars
Can you hear me? I'm a Space Dog. The Earth is shining blue
Hello people! I'm a Space Dog. To seek new frontiers by my nose
Can you hear me? I'm a Space Dog. The sun and planets go far away
I remember that time. when I was born
He was watching to me in the cage that made by glass
One day, he told to me. I'll board the new rocket
A little scared but he smiled and said. "Nevermind, you are good boy and brave"
Hello people! I'm a Space Dog. To aim at going over stars
Can you hear me? I'm a Space Dog. The Earth is shining blue and white
Everyday and everynight, we played some "Games"
When I could do all, he gave me that my favorite
Before I get on it, I looked his crying face
Don't worry. I'll go back to you. What of "E=mc^2"
Hello people! I'm a Space Dog. Not first one, but the only one
Can you hear me? I'm a Space Dog. To goes on with the speed of light
Hello people! I'm a Space Dog. This journey takes a long long time
Don't forget me... I'm a Space Dog
I'll come back to the Earth and bringing in the piece of star
