99 Luftballons - 99 Red Balloons - Nena

Hast Du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
...

99 Luftballons, a German classic hit from 1983 performed by Nena.

A strangely simple yet powerful song with an anti-war lyrics. This is still one of the songs from my youth that didn't loose any of its appeal. With the situation as it is now on this planet it is even a more powerful message and a plea for peace.

English version of the song, 99 Red Balloons, was released in 1984

Nena did a remake in 2002

Rainy weekends bring back fond memories. This is one of them. I hope that you've enjoyed the song in all three of its incarnations.

Better and better!
