99 Luftballons, Side by Side Comparison

I thought a side by side comparision would be very interesting to see how the lyrics had to be changed to fit the meter of the song when it was translated into English from German. I'm not sure who wrote the original English lyrics, but they certainly did a good job at capturing the original spirit of the song. I think it's neat both versions work in Captin Kirk, even if they do come in different stanzas.

Hast Du etwas Zeit fuer mich?

Do you have some time for me

You and I in a little toy shop

Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich

Then I'll sing a song for you

buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got

Von 99 Luftballons

About 99 balloons

Set them free at the break of dawn

Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont

On their way to the horizon

'Til one by one, they were gone
