I've a questiona about the version of 99 Red Balloons in SoS5. Is it an official version? And if not why did you use "Neunundneunzig Kriegsminister..."?

If I had to take the english verion and put one german verse in it I'd take the last verse, it has way more impact than the english ending (IMHO).

99 Jahre Krieg.
Ich seh' keinen Platz für Sieger.
Kriegminister gibts nicht mehr.
Und auch keine Düsenflieger.
Heute dreh ich meine Runden.
Seh die Welt in trümmern liegen.
Hab 'nen Luftballon gefunden.
Denk an dich und laß ihn fliegen.

translation:
99 years of war.
I see no room for winners.
Warministers are no more.
And no more Jetfighters, too.
Today I draw my rounds.
See the world lying in rubble.
Have found a red balloon.
Think of you and let it fly.
