99 Luftballons [English translation]

Hast thou any time for me?

Then shall sing I a song for thee.

Of Nine-and-Ninety lift-balloons

On their way horizonward

If thee perchance doth think of me,

Then shall sing I a song for thee.

Of Nine-And-Ninety lift-balloons

And the things from suchas come.

Nine-and-Ninety lift-balloons

On their way to horizonward

Holds one them UFOs, them all

Ergo sent a general,

A flight-squad after them.

Alarm-giving when t'was so

that t'was but on the horizon

But Nine-and-Ninety lift-balloons

Nine-and-Ninety Jetting fliers,

all were a great warriour

Held themselves as Captain Kirk,

There was a mighty firework

the neighbours had nothing a-gathered

and felt themselves equally onmade

thereby shot they horizonward

at nine-and-ninety lift-balloons

nine-and-ninety war ministers

Striking matches by the powder keg.

Held themselves for savvy people

smelled hella fat booty

Calling jwar and wanted might

Man, that had that a-thought

That t'was once that that came sofrom

From nine and ninety lift-balloons.

For nine-and-ninety lift-balloons

nine-and-ninety lift-balloons

Nine and ninety year long war

Leaves not one place for winners

War ministers? There's nany more

And like no jetting-fliers

Now see I my rounds

See the world in ruins lies

I've a lift-balloon afound

Think I of thee and let it fly.
