Our Tricolor has landed on the Moon,
A new era in space has just
begun.
The craving of our life, and a lovely part
Of our religion, of songs and folklore,
A vital link to
our culture and literature.
Our Tricolor has landed on the Moon.
The core of Granma's endless stories,
Of the old woman spinning the wheel,
Our Chandamama smiling from
afar,
Moonlit walks and whispers of young hearts,
Even the seas get excited at your sight,
And festivals, rituals
come to life.
Our bonds are as old as the mountains,
Our
ties are sweeter than oceans of honey,
You are the kid brother of Mother Earth,
And shine brighter than a million
stars.
We send our flag and a message to you,
We sure will meet you sooner than you think.

the Moon.]
