They used a Polish song for this slide-show: “Filipinki – “Walentyna Twist“.

And that is how the author of this slide-show translated for us this song in English:

I. Mr. Twardowski, on the top,
calls across a clouds: “Bravo, Vala, bis!”
And he sung to Vala
from a moon’s gala “Valentina Twist”

Ref.
Valentina, Valentina, just the land of stars know her well
It was a flower for Gagarin, but Valentina has a twist.
Valentina, Valentina, she is the first, all over the world, a sky-high miss
So her name begin the latest “Valentina Twist”

II. Maybe the old moon
find two guitars and send a letter to you
That you came,
that you sang “Valentina Twist”

Ref.
Valentina, Valentina, just the land of stars know her well.
It was a flower for Gagarin, but Valentina has a twist.
Valentina, Valentina, she is the first, all over the world, a sky-high miss
So her name begin the latest “Valentina Twist”.
Valentina, Valentina, she is the first, all over the world, a sky-high miss
So her name begin the latest “Valentina Twist”
