What I was going to post is the following:"In the German-language song '99 Luftballons' by Nena (1983), are the lyrics of its English-language version, '99 Red Balloons' (1984) a direct translation of the original?"
However, when I researched the topic a bit further, I found out something profound. I've enjoyed both versions since their respective releases, but it didn't occur to me until tonight that not even the titles are exact translations, because 'luft' does not mean 'red' in German, it means 'air', as in Luftwaffe, Air Force, or Lufthansa, the airline. Duh! I also learned that the two sets of lyrics are decidedly different; the German version more lighthearted and fun, the English version more blatant. Seeing as I had my answer, and had found so easily, I decided to change the question entirely just to see which other songs might fit the bill. ~ less
