Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons Lyrics
You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine, it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call out the troops now in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by
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
Wegen 99 Luftballons
99 Luftballons
[English translation:
"99 ministers of war
Match and jerrycans
Professing themselves to be smart people
Weathered already fat booty
Shouted war and wanted power
Man, who would have thought that
What was once so far comes
Because of 99 balloons
99 balloons"]
99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In the dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here it is, a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
Goodnight children, everywhere

Goldfinger 99 Red Balloons Comments
This is one song that should never be translated. I feel as if this is one song that should stay true to the german language and history.
Tf did I just stumble on???
I friggin loved this as soon as I first heard it. New favorite
first heard this on Gran turismo 3 back in the day
The German version is better
Vengo de pasapalabra, jahsjajaj
Burnout revenge...
It's not an official video because NENA uploaded it first.
Love it xx
England
Pretty sure it's the second best English version I heard. Right after the 7 Seconds. But before Nena's own.
The German version, though, is way better. Much is lost in translation, some in time by now.
был эпизод с мультфильма "Ракетная мощь" по Николодиону как Отто на забеге по скейтборду лидирует с большим отрывом и на фоне эта музыка. Это было шикарно!
Saw them with blink about a yr ago on the beach for the 2nd time in 20yrs fuck when this song came on I was already in the pit...and fuck it was awesome, I lost my shoes, broke my glasses, lost my beanie, and lost my shirt in the pit
you expect me to talk?
i reeeeally badly want this song to be entirely sung in german.
I love that this song exists. If it wouldn´t be for this song most non-german speakers wouldn´t know about the original
Initial D😢
2020 ww3 gang got their anthem a couple decades early.
I popped that like yo mommas last name was sent CHERRY
So sexy why can't bands be like they used to
What a damn copy
I like this cover more than the original.
He looks like somebody once told him the world was going to take you to flavortown
THE BEST ?THE ORIGINAL!!!!
Rocket Power when Otto fell off his skateboard that came apart
I loved that show! hahaha thanks for reminding me.
Iran about to have 99 red balloons floating in the winter skies.
7 Seconds does a great cover too.
This sucks
Wait this sounds like 99 luftbaloons
Lokmeout how dumb can you be
@Chaz Fo r/wooosh
Sip of early 2000's hot cocoa with a cold war wiped cream toping
Early 00’s
I missed you and your guitar jumping
In the world of Ninja Kiwi, red balloons are always a threat
I was not prepared for their jump into German-
im here for eurotrip lol
Golsfinger looks like different versions of Guy Fieri
to clear voice
GTA Vice City brought me here
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2020 :)
Anyone here after reading Donald Trump’s tweets?
I’m ready for my baptism by fire!
Davey Ryuzaki lolol no
@Modus Operandi knp nama lu harus modus operandi anjir
hell no
2020 anyone?
Me 2020
No 2018
When a German guy flies the good year blimp
31 from America first time I heard this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hes just trumps brother
way better than i was expecting great job guys
Im 18 And i feel Like a boomer for loving these songs
this is not a very boomer song when you look at the subject matter
Liking music doesn’t make you a boomer. Boomers liked music from before their time too. Good music is good music
Lufftballon
when bonnie and elena talked on the phone - tvd ❥
Why do they insist on giving talentless people record deals? 🤦🏼♂️
You try to make music like this then.
jarjason 22, why would I make talentless garbage music? You make no logical sense. 🤦🏼♂️
@TheIkaika777 you make no logical sense. I'd love to see you make something better than this.
jarjason 22, I do every day when I fart.
Almost 2020 and I still let them go...
Honestly, without pretending to offend anyone, I think this "version" sucks...
My mom loved this song lol
I like the German version better
So this is what's its like on LSD
2:31 eurotrip
*Grand Turismo??*
No offense the German one is better
I wonder what it would be like if the mayor of flavor town joined rammstein?
When a cover makes the original .....irrelevant.
You kidding
pepedomingocastanas no way. Goldfinger’s version is the best version. Yeah Idgaf I said it
I love this song and this interpretation of it so very much ♥️
Unas ganas de moshear wn
Pretending I'm a Superman.
this song was supposed to be about the war
OK yeah, everybody on the original was right. Don't fucking listen to the English version. Sorry it has no magic.
This song shuld be the theme of "It"
I feel like in another dimension, this would have been on the Tony Hawk 2 soundtrack.
I used this to sing along with the german part
naynadaind krigminista strayso und benzikanista dibensis schawalanoit
wettertendafoyte ni vandi napoytumakt, man wer hata das degact
doesen eimal sumay kompt naynadaind laftbawlons
PS: I don't speak German so the pronunciation might be wrong but that's what I heard from the song.
Not another teen movie
anyone else thought this was green day 💀
thanks maxmoefoe for the beautiful song recommendation
Anyone else here cause of Maxmofoe's S&S pokemon card video?
Maxmoefoe
Pennywise approves this song.
He sounds like Junkrat from overwatch
Wasnt this song in the rocket power movie?
"Eurotrip 2019" XD
Someone grab me a ps1
Certainly doesn’t sound like this live
Who the hell is guy feri or whatever 🤔 I remember this song for accidentally bootlegging it miss limewire
This song sucks
Anybody here from the Rockwell Musical Parody of IT?
German version: this is a nice song
English version: Jesus fu...
@b0ithe 00ps he doesnt mean its bad but the lyrics are dark
The original german version is the worst imo, the translated Nena version is awesome but personally I think this is the best
Holy fu...
Both have the same message about nuclear warfare.
@Mondo patrick657 The german version is amazing..
German version still better
Me:
*Don't say it*
*Don't say it*
*Don't say it*
*Don't say it*
*Don't say it*
*Don't say it*
*Don't say it*
*Don't say it*
PENNYWISE'S SONG
because it's 99 red balloons
amirite? no? Ok..
"So I tell the swamp donkey to sock it before I give her a trunky in the tradesman's entrance and have her lick me yarbles!"
"Wow. You guys are on like a completely different level of swearing over here."
Eu vim pelo eletrocutados kkkk
Anyone else happen to come here after ERBs new drop?
coming here to click thumb
I hate you!!!!This Song is from Nena!!
This song and Lazy by NOFX start like exactly the same and I can never tell which it’s gonna be, but I’m always happy with either 🤘
aMeRiCaN mAlE nEnA vision
This would be perfect for an anime intro if it were in Japanese
what about nena? the actual creator of this song?!
666 is upside down from above looking down dumbies... LISTEN to Goldfinger.
2019,👏👌
Aún quedan muchos muros que tirar, soy mexicano
99 luftballons 😍
Niena did it better, imo.
My dad brought me here
Best song for accidentally setting off Armageddon!
Ewwww cringe
