thigs get changed in translation, often in somgs to make the new words fit with the original music. red just fits better than air in english. if you sing it in the original german, the reverse is true.
and luft does mean air, as in lufthansa (sp?), the german national airline.
1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8.

You didn't notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 1 video, tomorrow will be your best day ever! no matter what!
Hey not trying to attack you hear, I like the song and all. But the song was originally in german and then it was so popular even in america and they made an english version but it is not a translation. It is a version in english that addresses a lot of the same things and even has some almost identical sentences. The part in german does not translate to the part about knight of the air, like in the english version. Neunundneunzig kriegsminister means 99 ministers of war. Thanks for the video.=D
if freaking iTunes says its ME First and the GImmie Gimmies, then thats who I say it is, happy? direct me to some web site where it says that the song is by GOldfinger, and ill change this.
what the hell I made an effin play list and it keeps saying it's restricted for play back!

So what if it's air balloons, try singing it instead of red. Doesn't sound nearly as good.

Why does everyone think it's Red Balloons?
Luft means Air, not Red.
Gordonfreeman502 2 years ago
well the idea caught on like a religion, so no one will ever stop the RED BALLON SHIT.
Even if the truth is luft means air.
