99 red balloons

Hoy me he levantado con ánimo ochentero y de Guerra Fría, a saber por qué, así que ahí va un vídeo apropiado:

Nena - 99 Red Balloons

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons
With the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs 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
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here
From somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by

99 Decision Street
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

[Instrumental Interlude]

99 Knights of the airway
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by

As 99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go

Por cierto, el vídeo es un remix que ha hecho un fan para la versión larga inglesa a partir de los dos vídeos alemanes originales. Cuenta la historia él mismo en Youtube.


Editado en octubre de 2009: el vídeo original ha sido finiquitado por la mierda de los derechos de autor. He puesto otro. Vaya ganas de joder.
