D              Em
You and I in a little toy shop

Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got
D                    Em
Set them free at the break of dawn
     G                     A
Till one by one, they were gone

D             Em
Back at base, bugs in the software
G                  A
Flash the message: Something's out there...

The war machine springs to life

Opens up one eager eye
D           Em
Focusing it on the sky

Where 99 Red Balloons go by...

With orders to identify

To clarify and classify

[5th Verse] (last verse:)

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

(Now for the 2nd and last verse spanglish translation:)

2nd Verse:

99 Globos De Air
Flotando en cielo verano
Panico, rojo alerta
Algo aqui de algun donde else
Guerra maquina vine vida
Abre un ojo ansioso
Centrado en el cielo
Donde 99 Globos pasan

5th, Last Verse:

99 suenos yo habia
En cada globo de aire
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
En el polvo que era una ciudad
If I could find a souveneir
Al probar el mundo fue aqui
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go...
