Song lyrics
Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und das sowas von sowas kommt

99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons

99 Düsenflieger
jeder war ein grosser Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Weg’n 99 Luftballons
99 Luftballons
99 Luftballons

99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh’ ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen

ofcourse it's similar. english is from the same language group. anglo-saxons from what is now germany (settling in england when the romans left), and vikings (same nordic language group). obviously the french speakers left their mark on the language with the norman invasion, but they were essentially vikings too by descent.

hehe. enough history. its a fun song.

i liked it when it was used in Scrubs. It was used in 1 episode (one of the ones with Amy Smart as the tasty coma wife). It was the theme song for a couple of JD's daydreaming/fantasy sequences, where he imagines dancing (techno) to it with the people around him, to solve various problems/situations he was in.

I love this song. I think its the best song of the 80s. Anyone know how old Nena is??

I don't know how old Nena is. This is also my fav song from the 80's, and my 2nd fav song.


Also, about the 3 versions thing. Nena did the original, both in english and greman, and then Goldfinger did the english version, just with a verse in german, just to clear everything up.

I've also heard an "disco/pop/techno"-version (don't know what gender it really fits into) of this song... I believe the artist is called Donn Ah,but I'll check that out closer soon. It's found on an old Norwegian song-collection. (pink and yellow cover/case with an pig on it)

Just so you know! =)

Nena's 42 years old (but very attractive for her age tough ), has 4 children (actually 5 but one died at very young age at a mental illness). Nena did the orginal (which I think is still the best !) And the song's actually an anti-war song ; about the Berlin Wall, and her view as a child about it... In reality as a child Nena REALLY hated the fustrations between East & West... So she made a song at later age about ballons... Which is actually a legend : East saw red ballons fly over the wall, and tought that West was attacking them, so they get out all their forces only to find out that it were ballons... But anyway I REALLY like nena

"Captain Kirk" is the only discernible English phrase in the entire song. Brilliant piece, though.

They released the balloons as a sign of peace.
I always think about that story when I listen to the song.
