Akino Arai - Sputnik Lyrics

When a man dies,
Everything disappears with him:
His first snow
his first kiss,
his first fight. [1]
I was just recalling
A story I heard when I was small
The laika dog on Sputnik[2]
What was it's name again?
While gazing at your back
I finally realized
That I will never see you again
Kloka Kloka[3]
I go, ahead of you
Kloka Kloka
Surely come back
A chrome-coloured capsule
I truly love you yet
I can't think anymore
For what
Or why
With enough air and water for seven days
And someone's strong wishes
The laika dog on Sputnik
Doors which will never again open now close
To think that I must go on living
In some distant place unknown to you
That we can never feel the same emotions
A chrome-coloured capsule
I love you so much yet
Into an invisible darkness
Even those brilliant times fade away
Kloka Kloka
I
Kloka Kloka
Surely
From the sky into darkness
Everything is swallowed away
Into an invisible darkness
Even that warm and snowy day goes on fading
A chrome-coloured capsule
I truly love you yet
I can't think anymore
For what
Or why
