| Nena – 99 Luftballons Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Direct English translation: If you have some time for me Then I'll sing a song for you About 99 balloons On their way to the horizon Perhaps you think of me a bit Then I'll sing a song for you About 99 balloons And that something [the war] comes from such a thing [the balloons] 99 balloons On their way to the horizon Seemed like UFOs from space So a general sent A flying squad out there To raise the alarm if it were true Yet there on the horizon were Only 99 balloons 99 jet hunters Each one was a great warrior Thought that there were Captain Kirk There were great fireworks The neighbors didn't understand anything And felt immediately "pissed off"/provoked Yet there they shot on the horizon At 99 balloons 99 war ministers Matches and petrol cans Thought that they were clever people Already smelled greasy loot Shouted: War, and wanted power Man, who would have thought That one day it would come to this Because of 99 balloons 99 years of war Don't leave a place for victors There are no ministers any more No jet engines either Today I'm doing my rounds Seeing the world lying in ruins Found a balloons Think of you and let it fly Thanks to Siobhán Silke |
