Andries Bezuidenhout - Explorer of Nahoon (English Version) Lyrics

Ocean wind in my hair, an owl hoo-hoos
Your bedroom light still on at your house in Nahoon
What I should do knows only Ballyhoo
They've got the number of the Man in the Moon

I'm Laika alone, in an orbit's glue
Laika howling at you and the moon

I'm a discoverer of old of the streets of suburbia
Asphalt a bit like uncharted ocean
But around here waves move only through the air
I'll send you a signal from here to there

I'm Laika alone, in an orbit's glue
Laika howling at you and the moon

Sometimes I yearn for a land without borders
Nameless places, empty corners
Will you be there, on this empty plain
Or have you already disposed of my name

I'm Laika alone, in an orbit's glue
Laika howling at you and the moon

Outside in the street, under the moon
I'm a moth and I sense the light bulb's pull
I'm Vasco da Gama, I'm Magellan
In a revolution's hold I cannot withstand
You are the pivot and I am the fan
Amid where you sleep and where I stand
From this eternal circle I cannot escape
Out of this carousel I cannot break
What this track means I still don't get
But about Yuri Gagarin I cannot forget

I'm Laika alone, in an orbit's glue
Laika howling at the moon and you
