The German lyrics look accurate, but it's unfortunate that they appear a bit too late to allow one to comfortably read them as the song plays. Perhaps next time you could re-sync so that the lyrics appear on the screen about 2 seconds sooner than they are actually sung.
@RedEyesAndKillaHigh the reason he properly hates this is because it is on about Russia and there army and how communism is / was a threat during that time. and with them occupying their part of Germany they became poor and desperate often fighting trying not to go into poverty where as the American and British occupied parts of Germany was prospering. if you dont belive me google it.
I have to say,I have always liked the German version better than the English one,the German language just works better with this song...and with that I think I dance now:)
the german version is WAAAYYY better than the english version, the english version sucked it sounds better when u dnt know what the hell shes saying!! lol ;-D
lol no wories im american and i can pronounce and say the words easy... some people sometimes just have the ability to read a diferent language but keep trying youll get it!
Its spelled neunundneunzig, and it doesn't really neccesarily mean "air" balloons it basically means toy balloons. But air balloons is what most people go by.
Dashes were for readability, so they could see what the word consisted of. It doesn't mean toy balloons at all. Luft is air, Toy Balloons doesn't make any since.
I have a very strong feeling that the author of this video put "99 red balloons" in brackets because that is the title of the official English version recorded by Nena ;-)
On December 24,2006 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed into myspace.She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter.if you don't repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't wanna die
the german version is much better then the english. i know a little german. i think luftballons means air ballons not red ballons. i think red ballons is rot luftballons. i wonder why the english version is red ballons instead of air ballons.
The English version is not a translation, they just used red to keep the syllables the same, the songs have roughly the same meaning, but not exactly.
The english vertion just sucks, it sounds bad
