Lyrics
My Red Balloon
I see it in the distance Red dot above the clouds Floating through the buildings It’s way above the ground
I wonder where it came from A birthday party feast? It’s glowing in the hot sun Above my very street!
It’s coming even closer I’ll try to catch it now Hope I don’t fall over I caught it with my mouth!
They should've never freed you My pretty new balloon I know I’ll always keep you Safe inside my roomMein roter Ballon
Ich sehe es in der Ferne Roter Punkt über den Wolken Durch die Gebäude schweben Es liegt weit über dem Boden
Ich frage mich, woher es kommt Ein Geburtstagsfest? Es leuchtet in der heißen Sonne Über meiner Straße!
Es kommt noch näher Ich werde versuchen, es jetzt zu fangen Ich hoffe, ich falle nicht um Ich habe es mit meinem Mund gefangen!
Sie hätten dich niemals befreien sollen Mein hübscher neuer Ballon Ich weiß, dass ich dich immer behalten werde Sicher in meinem Zimmer

Ah, yes, I remember trying to keep a balloon safe only to discover it sadly deflated the next day. But a fun thing to try!
This is such a sweet lyric, bringing me back to that joy and wonder a simple balloon can give. Magic! Very well written.

Aww, such a sweet little story! The joy of a ballon. And yes I also remember the tragedy of the next day’s sad, puckered balloon, but in this song we don’t know anything about that!
