Been counting the days of the trip
And calculating hours.
Sat in the cosy spaceship
With the excessive powers.
Knew that it wouldn't be soon.
We tried to get this over,
Leaving behind Earth and Moon
But never getting slower.

Having arrived on the red sand,
We built there brand-new bases.
This planet's now our land,
Thanks to our science aces.
So we must live and succeed
Without any bother.
One should continue man's breed
And multiply its power.
....................................
There are people on Mars,
Lying under the stars.
We never believed this would ever be!
There are people on Mars,
Riding on the space-cars.
We finally achieved a humanity's dream!
......................................
Relaxing or walking along
Under the glass-made cover.
Beware of the pressure on
With deadly methane shower.
Numerous germs and microbes
From outside can be killing.
Thus rely upon the probes
That have an extra feeling.

Checked out the pulse of the heart,
Some climbing in a space-suit.
Pushing air-breathing restart
To get another circuit.
New doesn't mean very good,
But mankind needs restoring.
A lot's yet to be understood
So we'll keep on exploring.
