中英双语歌词：
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again
It's the final countdown...
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.
It's the final countdown...
(solo)
The final countdown
It's the final countdown...
It's the final countdown
We're leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so
It's cthe final countdown...
It's The final countdown
我们将一起离去
但仍须告别
也许我们还会回来
回到地球，谁能预料
我想不该怪任何人
我们将离开地面
日后景色是否依旧
开始最后的倒数了
我们正向着金星前进
我们依然昂首挺立
因为他们也许已看见了我们
而且欢迎我们莅临
尽管仍有好几光年的路程
很多事物有待发现
我相信我们都会想念地球
开始最后的倒数了
