LYRICS
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
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where ninety-nine red balloons go by
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, the things that you say. Yeah.
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
(In a day or two)
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
(In a day or two)

So weird to hear it in English when you're used to the German version

You two are so adorable, literally emcompasing the phrase: "you and I could make beautiful music together"

It is amazing how talented every member of this band is from lead singer to backup singers, instruments to video editing, all top quality performances!!!

The line "take me on \ I'll be gone \ in a day or two" has a wildly different mood in the context of "99 luftballons"

I’m SO glad you used that funky little synth groove from 99 red balloons in the breakdown!!!

Nataly's diction is so clear. I've heard Take on Me 100's of times yet could never make out what Morten was singing. LOL

I love the classics from the 80s (I was in my 20s then), and I like to see young people trying a new version of the wonderful music. Bravo!

This composition is now more relevant than ever.

Brilliant! Just brilliant!

For those wondering:
The English version retains the spirit of the original narrative, but many of the lyrics are translated poetically rather than being directly translated: red helium balloons are casually released by the civilian singer (narrator) with her unnamed friend into the sky and are mistakenly registered by a faulty early warning system as enemy contacts, resulting in panic and eventually nuclear war, with the end of the song near-identical to the end of the original German version.
Also the UK version was released in 1984 whereas the German version was 1983

80's hits mashups are always a winner!

I just jumped out of my chair and started dancing with my headphones on and looking crazy... bought back memories of my teenage days... thank you for a great mashup again

Didn't realize these were both released in 1984. Having a real a-ha moment.
