Es War Einmal Ein Luftballon

Once upon a time there was a balloon
Early in the morning
A boy from Bavaria flew
Then he flew to Prague

He flew like thoughts
Which no one inhibits or holds
They know no barriers
The balloons of the world

They know no barriers
The balloons of the world

When the blue balloon
Fallen on Prague
Then little Liduscha took
Receive him with thanks

She decorated it with wreaths
And wild poppies from the field
They know no boundaries
The children of this world

They know no boundaries
The children of this world

The little blue balloon
Traveling with the wind
He was taken across borders
A greeting from child to child

They don't know any zone
No border that holds them
The little balloons
And the children of this world

The little balloons
And the children of this world
