From reference.com concerning the word and the song... The translation of the title is sometimes given as "Ninety-Nine Air Balloons". However "Ninety-Nine Balloons" is correct . A Luftballon is a colorful toy balloon, rather than a balloon for transport or research. The name is derived from Luft, German for air, but the meaning of Luft does not qualify the type of balloon. The title "99 RED Balloons" scans correctly with the syllables falling in the right places within the rhythm of the first lines of lyrics, with "red" replacing "Luft".

Songs are seldom directly translated because of different words with rhyme in different languages. Nena sung the song wity lyrics in English, as "99 Red Balloons". Some songs are about totally different things in different language. I think we correctly shall not talk about translated songs as with book. I would rather talk about a German langauge version ("99 Luftballons") and an English langauge version ("99 Red Balloons").

That's Luftballon. One word, one O, just for future reference. And literally translated, "Luftballon" just means "Balloon". On an interesting side note, after carefully analyzing the lyrics of both the German and English versions of the song, I've decided that 99 Luftballons is, in fact, a Doom Metal song.

That song, im assuming you mean 99 rot luft baloons by nena, translates to 99 hot air balloons, though an eat would be "red" (as in the colour) hot air balloons.
