Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons

 Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons

 

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
Back at base, bugs in the software
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
As 99 red balloons go by.

Ninety-nine decisions street

Ninety-nine 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 ninety-nine red balloons go by



Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister

Streichholz und Benzinkanister

Hielten sich f?r schlaue Leute

Witterten schon fette Beute

Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht

Mann, wer h?tte das gedacht?

Da? es einmal so weit kommt

Wegen neunundneunzig Luftballons

Neunundneunzig Luftballons



Ninety-nine dreams I have had

And every one a red balloon

It's all over, and I'm standing pretty

In the dust that was a city

I could find a souvenir

Just to prove the world was here

Here it is, a red balloon

I think of you and let it go

  German translation (from Google translations):

99 Secretary of War
  Matches and gasoline canisters
  Professing themselves to be smart people
  Already weathered fat and easy prey
  Shouted the war and wanted power
  Man who would have thought
  That even if it comes
  Because of 99 balloons
