- 99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger with lyrics + german! :D
Personally, this is my favorite version of the song :)
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
**I do not own the song - Hudba
"This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war!"
Those two lines give me chills.
China, Taiwan, US ....
It's because it's time ... do what ever scares you the most in your life and conquer it .you got this
@@Sanguen666 Taiwan isn't a country though 🤔
@@Slash766 yeahh…
@@cesarosorio9897 No it's scary because it shows how easily nationalism can gas people, especially soldiers, into feeling like war is necessary, inevitable, and even something to look forward to.
When youre trying to sing along and it gets to the german part so you awkwardly mumble the lines like you know what you're doing
Smh du musst Deutsch lernen. Ist der am besten Sprache in der Welt, mein Freund.
#Relatable
Yup
This feels like a personal attack..
@@TheJanvicgwaps agree🤣🤣🤣
Finally after 3 hours of practicing the German part, I am proud enough to say that I fully learned this song while playing the guitar.
Awesome dude! Very happy for you! 🎶🎸🔊🎶
Jetzt musst du noch lernen ihn zu singen. Jk. congrats
Yeahhhhh fair play !
I’m trying it on the drums 🤘🏼
Sehr gut

"99 Luftballons" (German: Neunundneunzig Luftballons, "99 balloons") is a song by the ... The anti-war song finishes with the singer walking through the devastated ruins of the world and finding a balloon. ... in panic and eventually nuclear war, with the end of the song near-identical to the end of the original German version.
Extra: unknowingly released the same year as a false alert in a nuclear detection system
Hey hey...this song was written 40 years too early
Plot:Someone in Germany buys 99 red balloons and the German's military radar glitches and makes the balloon look like a threat going to a panic and declared war
seems legit
***** no because it also takes place in Germany
***** but it says panick spreads in Germany because something is out there
Nathan NoneOfYourBusiness the song originated in Germany
It’s actually about the Cold War how if the us military saw any form of anything in the air from there radars they’d start sending troops in Russia and even nukes
99 red balloons in the sky
*Now this is Avengers level threat*
I'm currently learning German *because after college I'm moving there* and im so excited to be able to sing all of this🖤
Cool - I might learn German one day on Duolingo. Just gotta get through Japanese & Korean (Japanese because I'm Japanese American and Korean bc why not).
I'm learning it in school. I wish you luck!!
@@floofyt2008 I also have started learning High Valyrian.
Im learning German now
It’s a good language to learn I’m fluent in German and French my French is better cause my Nan is French and she taught it my mum from birth and my mum did for me so my French is as good as my English it comes in handy
The German part sounds awesome, but so damn hard to learn and to pronounce
bisaya?
cute ka
Di nga? haha thanks kung ganon 😸
tga san ka?
akala ko sa abroad eh hehe, may fb?
EUUUUURO TRIIIIIIIP!!!
IntroSpecktive This isn't a smash channel. What are you doing here?
IntroSpecktive i
What the hell are you doing here stop slacking off by listening to great music and get back to making great videos
Gran Turismo 3!
IntroSpecktive wooah, did not expect to see you here
As soon as that groove hits I always lose it! So sick.
good german pronounciation for an american :)
Yeah, he has a very good pronuntiation, better than 'Nena', she sucks haha
Josh B yes
Greg House hahaha you're right
Good? No, perfect.
☆ 2:29 Fast Forward to German part ☆
drink 99 shots of vodka beforehand, though......
Seriously thank you! The lyrics were timed just right.
The German part i love to sing this moment
Its a Goood Tempo, nice and Fast. :)
Do you still
Gotta be honest here, this Version is awesome too! I find myself coming back to it quite often
Catha Mohl I really love the original German version by Nena, though ❤️
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec.
This!
When I hear this I always think of the free run start point on mid-field raceway. every time I hear this song I get with a brick labeled nostalgia. Those were the days sometimes I wish I could return to them
Yeah i member driving my f987s trying to pass the formula gt for the first time . And i member my 3rd f1 was the f686m green and white color. Damn man i wish i have a time machine
Now that I finally have the means to play GT3, this and "Kickstart My Heart" are my jam.
Great version love it
I remember this song being played when I had Grand Turismo 3. The Nostalgia is strong with this one. Years ago, I didn't understand what it was about. The song is still a little vague even today, but I understand it way better now compared to way back then.
Okay yea, this song is pretty twisted, but I can't really argue with it.
GT3 brings back fond memories can’t remember whether it was PS1 or 2 looking forward to downloading the new 1 soon
I didn't know there was a German part, that was trippy as hell.
You should hear the original
Original is entirely in German
thanks for the translation
saved me some time :)
my favourite song of all time
The part where starts singing in German is the best part in my opinion
"99 red balloons, floating in the summer skyyyy!!!!!!!!" Fuckin gives me chills 😁
Jimmy Steele chiefssss
This version rocks
If I saw 99 red balloons in the sky I would think, "welp we're all going to die from a clown that watches you from the sewers."
This song is catchy and deceptively depressing :/
Ikr?
Just like war looked to the superpowers during the Cold War
ugh this is so good!
I looked up both original versions(german and english) and I got to say that this is the best version storywise. The original german version pretty much has no real story. It never establishes where the ballons come from. The ballons were also mistaken for ufos of all things, which by all accounts does not make much sense later in the song because the german part here comes from that version and says that the warministers wanted power. So, they just took this possible alien threat as an excuse to start a world war? What?
Basically, this is mostly the english version with a german part swapped in. The part that was swapped out was about warplanes and everyone being a hero like captain kirk during the moment which is kinda just fluff towards soldiers going along with it I think. A similar thing was earlier in the german version earlier. The german part meanwhile is someone looking back on the event basically and saying indirectly that what these guys did by ordering the war was stupid.
Also, the last sentence is the same in both versions. In the german version, it comes out of nowhere because it was about a random survivor who lost someone in the war. The english version establishes the two to be the ones who started it with the ballons, says that the survivors dreams were about ballons(which might be why they were bought to begin with) and it talks about wanting to find anything that survived the mess, which makes it more impactful that they let the ballon go because that is basically what they were looking for.
Wtf. I'm german and you have 0 clue.
@@mhheubl Alright, I am german and now you have to tell me where I am wrong.
Geht um die Mauer Keule. Und das angespannte Verhältnis zwischen Ost und West. Aber hat keine Story der Song. Is ok. Hau rein
@@mhheubl Soetwas ist eine Anlehnung und keine direkte Darstellung. Ich weiß wann das Lied geschrieben wurde. Nur ist das offentsichtlicherweise so nie passiert oder es würde garnichtsmehr stehen. Und wie gesagt, es redet von ufos was zwar nur unbekanntes fliegendes objekt bedeutet, aber trotzdem größtenteils bei aliens verwendet wird weil man erdenflugzeuge normalerweise indentifizieren kann was es seltsam macht dass deshalb Krieg ausgerufen wird. Außerhalb vom speziellen Zusammenhang ist es einfach irgendwie da, es erzählt eher die bedränkte stimmung als eine Geschichte.
@@lpfan4491 Der Gitarrist war bei nem Stones Konzert und das war im Mauer nähe und er fragte sich was wohl passieren würde wenn das in Berlin passieren würde (Ballons aufsteigen lassen) .
My stepson is a freshman in high school and taking German. I like showing him the original version of this and Rock Me Amadeus
Thank you for the Lyrics.
99 knights of the air ride super high tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero, everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky as ninety-nine red balloons go by
-
Ninety-nine red balloons go by!
99 War Ministers
Matchstick and Gas Can
Were smart people, sensed the big prize
Screamed for war, and sought power
Man - who would've thought
That all of this for 99 Luft Balloons
Such a wonderful song! I can hardly wait 'til the day this comes to pass. :)
i love this song!!!
WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
35 years later i finaly see what Nena singing , love the song ox .God bless
This isn't what Nena sings.
@Nena my life Wow so dumb I don't even know how to respond.. :\
You do realize Nena has an English version of the song right?
I just watched reaction time listen to one of your videos and it's great how freaked out he got. Stay awesome, man! Love your videos! 💖
Never knew there was an ending.
That's pretty dark.
"A bug in the system" ...wait, wasn't there an actual event that almost started WWIII because of that?
+Jonathan Galloway there have been many events like that that almost started WWIII...scary stuff.
In one case, the Russian officer who saved the world in the nick of time was reprimanded. Can you imagine... www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24280831
and with more color www.telegraph.co.uk/film/the-man-who-saved-the-world/nuclear-war-true-story/
1983 - year when a soviet satellite mistook the sun's relection for a ICBM launch and almost oed to WW3.
At least one that's been published and probably several that have not yet been declassified.

early 00's. What a time to be alive
I love the song
That is coooool!!!!!
Danke... Greetings from germany.
Ahhhh I love it rock me to my core ❤️❤️❤️
Rocket Power Race Across New Zealand is what brought me here
can i know what is the message of this song? too much curious. But i love this song
It's a song (originally) about balloons being released in west Germany. Jets getting scrambled to shoot them down because they've been mistaken for UFOs. The pilots realize it's just balloons. and shoot them down for a little fun. East Germany gets nervous from this unprovoked display of power and they go into a 99 year war which ends in a nuclear holocaust.
English translation is more poetic and called silly by the original german artists. It's about an anonymous pair of people who fill helium balloons and release them into the sky. due to a radar glitch. they appear as enemy planes. Holocaust ensues. and the anonymous survivor sorrowfully walks through the wreckage. With thoughts of the other person and what happened.
The song was made as a protest to NATOs nuclear missile treaties. And the overall message is that simply. Nuclear missiles cause nothing but pain, stress, and agony over very little things. and if they were destroyed things would be much simpler and less scary for all involved.
Nena also sang that song too both in German version and British version
damn this take me backkkkkkk
I still play Gran Turismo 3 while listening to this
Nice font. I like it.
>comic sans
>like it
I know I'm 4 years late but why-
My favourite song
oh
OH
JESUS, THATS NOT WHAT I TOUGHT IT WAS
greatest song ever
Thank you you just gave me dream, and in that dream a musical number called 45 Green Balloons. And i swear it was like another universe. I will never forget this time, I will go make this world apart of mine.
Does anyone know were i can find the origional german video? thanks
Just type in "99 lufballoons- nena" into the yourube search bar
Madylin Batty youtube*
Epic8bitGuy wow
+Epic8bitGuy Dude it's called Google
Epic8bitGuy buried with the Nazis!! MERICA!!!!!!
so people dont dislike the lyric videos that are out of time and messed up and all funky and what not, but they dislike this one? When its on time and the lyrics are right? Yep that confirms it, people are high.
The quality of them being "messed up and all funky" in alignment with their upload date makes them oh so nostalgic.
Where does red Come in if its 99 air balloons(99 Luftballons)
+Jax dax Well, "air balloons" is redundant in English (unless talking about hot-air balloons) so we would just say 99 Balloons. But when Nena put out an English version of 99 Luftballons , the song was renamed "99 Red Balloons" and the original lyrics were largely discarded. Most of the lyrics in this song are from that changed English version (not a translation of the original German lyrics).
As to why the original lyrics were heavily changed in the English recording, wikipedia says : The title "99 Red Balloons" almost scans correctly with the syllables falling in the right places within the rhythm of the first line of lyrics: "red" partially replacing a flourish of the singer before "Luft". Neunundneunzig (99) has one syllable more than "ninety-nine", so the last syllable and "luft" are blended in the English translation and become "red".
Can we all agree that this song has a very dark premise?
It starts out nice, with two kids or a couple letting off 99 red balloons, then the military mistakes it for an enemy raid, most likely german, and causes a destructive event, leaving the couple in the remains, or only one of them alive.
kinda screwed up when you think about it...
From Rocket Power Race across New Zealand--Rocket Power was one of my favorite shows when I was a little kid. The Song was played during the dirt boarding race in Rocket Power Race Across New Zealand.
Where’s the version by Nena, with the same colours and font?
lit song super cool
Best song eva
I like this tone better, but I prefer the German lyrics. At least one verse is German :)
I prefer this than the original...
I agree
Totally
Fuck all you lil kids. You were born tasteless and without real style.
Black Mamba
Yet here you are :)
it's OK goldfinger member, nothing lasts forever does it? Not even when you cover a foreign song.
Never knew the lyrics to this song but have always loved it. Crazy to now know what the songs about o.O
please explain 🥺
emily no Someone buys balloons in a store, lets them go up up up and away into the sky - but due to a glitch the military sees the balloons on their radar as something else. They think they are missiles or something and are about to start a global nuclear war. And in this day and age, once one person launches a nuke, the other person is going to launch a nuke in retaliation and then another and another and then everyones dead. Pretty grim! :) i thought it was a fun song haha
With you not knowing the lyrics, do you mean the german version? If yes, then the lyrics are actually pretty diffrent between versions.
This i definitely park my car, 🚗 cooper said hahaha pretty dam good lads
this song instantly reminded of green day's track "Holiday" for some reason
The guys voice is similar, I think that's why...
Brendan Freed
Maybe because they're both anti-war songs?
Mandy From Mars yeah i think that's it..
Gluue E
the voice and the guitar in the background in the beginning
This is a song about the Cold War mania.
Holiday is about the US brainwashing it's citizens on the War on Terror.
People who disliked spun on the last corner of the last lap on Midfield Raceway.
