99 Luftballons

Do you have some time for me
Then I'll sing a song for you
Of ninety-nine balloons
On their way to the horizon
Are you thinking of me right now
Then I'll sing a song for you
Of ninety-nine balloons
And that something like that comes from something like that

Ninety nine balloons
On their way to the horizon
Were thought to be UFOs from space
That is why a general sent
A squadron of aircraft following
To raise the alarm if that were the case
There were on the horizon
Only ninety-nine balloons

Ninety-nine jet planes
Everyone was a great warrior
Thought they were Captain Krik
There was a big fireworks display
the neighbours did not get this
And immediately felt turned on
Shots were taken on the horizon
On ninety-nine balloons

Ninety-nine Ministers of War
Matchstick and jerrycans
Thought they were smart people
smelled a big hunt
Shouted: war and wanted power
Man, who would have thought
That it will come to this
Because of ninety-nine balloons

Ninety-nine years of war
Left no room for winners
There is no longer a Minister of War
And no jet planes either
Today I'm doing my rounds
See the world in ruins
Found a balloon
Think of yourself and let it fly
