This happy singalong song is about how us humans came close (again) from blowing ourselves up to human hamburger. The German version isn't censored on this topic like the North American pop-version was. It's not the planet we should worry about. It's us.
Very true. Although, the writers were obviously concerned with whether the English version would rhyme. That is why it rhymes no matter which language it is in - despite the similarity between English and German (English is a largely Germanic language, dating back to the overthrow of the celtic by the Saxons) which led to the Norman's overthrowing the Saxons and installing a short-lived, French, 'official' language as the language of the goverment. This is why English, which was historically a Celtics language with further foreign influences, has so many similarities to so many languages; even languages that bare little similarity in their etymology. If people didn't know, France and Germany were both part of the same kingdom (Frankish kingdom). This, however, did not remain the norm; the Frankish kingdom developed in an area that was largely 'Roman' or 'Latin', but Germany proper was never actually conquered. This is the reason French and German are so different linguistically and culturally. The kings of both kingdoms were sons of 'Charlemaine'. Originally, both kingdoms spoke a diluted version of Latin and eventually, French. Over time, this divide led to major culturally boundaries that were established between the two countries; the king of Frankia, and the king of Germania - despite having a father in common - adapted and adopted the aspects of their respective kingdoms. So, the languages between these areas is drastically different than other countries that did not get conquered or heavily influenced by the Roman empire, such as Russia and other 'Russo' or 'Baltic' states. They were far enough removed from the Latin equation that the languages display stark and obvious differences. In fact, the origins of Russia actually has roots in several different cultures, including native Baltic, Nordic Russic, Latin and Greek. At least, this was before a certain 'missionary' suggested the use of the 'Cyrillic' alphabet. This divide has only deepened, leading to an angry an isolated Russia that has misplaced the world's inherent distrust of the country - or rather, the country's past - as 'Russo-phobia' while also ignoring the damage done by the precedent, the Soviet Union.
im an american. Sonoma County! 45 minutes north of san francisco...i became enamored by some German and endeavored myself to learn it, complete with accent. i think German is a beautiful and expressive language. im glad ive learned it.
The film Civil War comes to mind when I hear this song. I didnt watch it, but I am aware of the content. At times, it appears that the Cold War never came to an end...
Hast du etwas Zeit für mich? Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich Von 99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Denkst du vielleicht grad an mich?

I'm trying to come up with a way to pretend I think this is a cover of the Goldfinger version but nothing funny is coming to mind so could we all just pretend I said something that half of you thought was hilarious and the other half thought was a sign of poor education standards in the US? Also I'll need a few people to tell me that whatever joke I made was just dumb because, let's be honest, it probably was.

A thousand times better than the English version!
99 times better you mean
@@fridgenuker5000 lol, what was I thinking! Aber ja, das ist wahr.
That's because it was meant to be sang in German.❤
Excellent version. Thanks for the translation. The last two verses are very relevant today in 2024.
Absolutely devastating you can understand why Homer was crying when he's saying it

At last I understood it❤❤❤ haven't heard it since 83 and I didn't understand a word till today
German can sometimes not be a pretty language but this is the prettiest song ever! (no ofense to germans)
No offence taken
Listen to more German musicians and less WWII films. I recommend Juli!
No offence taken it’s ok

Marvellous Music
I've been an english speaker my whole life, and while trying to sing the english lyrics I accidentally said nine and ninety once.
Absolute throwback

Bought the 45 immediately. English and German same disc.
Bro over 100 people died of the balloons because it was war
Mit diesem Lied aufgewachsen
Any have a similar song to that first 30 seconds ?!
Legende❤
I'm listening in my 84' Trabant. We have worried about balloons in East Berlin. 😁
I LOVE THIS SONG 😍
Just thought at 55 years old, they bought the 🎈 99 with the money they had. Where did they get the helium tank?😂
Remake this but the English wersion is both these and the oficial red balloons translation
400th like
Brilliant translation buddy!

Bin ich die einzige die Deutsch kann
Nein ich bin lernin deutsch auch!
Hallo kann auch jemand deutsch
Ja

😊
99 Luftballons bin ich die einzige die Deutsch kann
some of the lyrics are wrong... the first line is "hast du etwas zeit FÜR mich" NOT 'fuer'.. i know you are not natives of course :)
That is a mistake i know it is für
“ue” is a phonetic way of writing “ü”
ue is a way of writing ü 😭😭
Ich habe paar Leute gefunden die Deutsch können

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich?
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht grad an mich?
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und, dass sowas von sowas kommt
[Instrumental]
[Strophe 2]
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 dort am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons
[Strophe 3]
99 Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons
[Instrumental]
[Strophe 4]
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 so weit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons
[Bridge]
Wegen 99 Luftballons
99 Luftballons
[Outro]
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' 'n Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen
Wow I didn't realize this was some kind of garbage live version, kind of wanted her to sing the whole song not listen to a bunch of out of tune people singing at the end but okay....
