Sung	Meaning
Up in space, what shines so bright?	Su nello spazio, cosa brilla così tanto?
Il sole! The sun gives light!
And when night comes, what do you see?	E quando arriva la notte, cosa vedi?
La luna, smiling down at me!
Say it again: the sun, the sun!	Dillo ancora: il sole, il sole!
Il sole! That sounds like fun!
The moon is up, the moon is near!	La luna è su, la luna è vicina!
La luna! I can see it clear!

Say it, sing it, say it together!	Dillo, cantalo, dillo insieme!
What do we ride past every star?	Su cosa voliamo oltre ogni stella?
A rocket! Un razzo, there we are!
Who travels in the rocket today?	Chi viaggia sul razzo oggi?
An astronauta, hooray, hooray!
What circles the sun way out of sight?	Cosa gira intorno al sole, lontano lontano?
Un pianeta, spinning round and bright!
Planet, pianeta—say it with me!
Pianeta! As easy as can be!
La stella is a star up high;
Il razzo takes us through the sky!

We ride our rocket!	Andiamo sul nostro razzo!
Sul razzo, si va!	On the rocket, off we go!
Up in space, and then back—ciao, ciao!

2
Split the parts
