99 Luftballons, Side by Side Comparison

I would like to thank Siobhán Silke, who did a quick translation of the German lyrics into English, his notes are at the end of this page. You can also view each of these columns seperately by following the link at the top of each. 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.
