What is that stuff Goldfinger is saying in the lyrics of "99 Red Balloons?"?

Question

Ok I looked at the lyrics of the song 99 red balloons and he like says some stuff in a different language. I was wondering if anyone knew what he was saying?

Answer 1

Below is a link to a page where someone translated line by line.
Also, wikipedia has a ton of info on the history of the song.

99 war ministers
Matches and petrol cans
Thought that they were clever people
Already smelled greasy loot
Shouted: War, and wanted power
Man, who would have thought
That one day it would come to this
Because of 99 balloons

Answer 2

Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht?
Daß es einmal so weit kommt
Wegen neunundneunzig Luftballons
Neunundneunzig Luftballons

and the translation is ;

Ninety-nine war Ministers match and gasoline can regarded themselves as smart people Witterten already fat booty Scoring: War and it wanted power man, who would have that thought? That it once so far comes ways ninety-nine ballons ninety-nine ballons
