The English lyrics are: You and I and a little dachshund, buy a bag of balloons with the money we got, set them free at the break of dawn, till one by one they were gone. Back at base, fox in the software flash the message "something's out there". Floating in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by. 99 red balloons floating in the summer sky. ? ? it's red alert, there's something here from somewhere else. The war machine springs to life, opens one eager eye focusing in on the sky as 99 red balloons go by. 99 decisions clear, 99 ministers meet to worry worry super scurry. Call the troops out in a hurry. This is what we've waited for, this is it boys, this is war. The president is on the line as 99 red balloons go by. 99 knights of the air ride super high tech jet fighters. Everyone's a super hero everyone's a Captain Kirk with orders to identify, clarify, and classify. Scrambling in the summer sky 99 red balloons go by. 99 dreams I have had everyone a red balloon. It's all over and I'm standing pretty in this dust that was a city, if I could find a souvenir just to prove the world was here... and here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go.... I could do it from memorie so I had to listen to the song over several times. Sakaki
