Luftballon is the German word for balloon.
luft = air
ballon = balloon

..so luftballon jsut means air-balloon. A luftballon is more specifically a "toy" balloon as opposed to a hot-air balloon or balloon for some other purpose.

"99 Luftballons" is a protest song, in which 99 balloons floating in the air, trigger an apocalyptic overreaction by military forces.

The version in English (titled "99 Red Balloons") has a more satirical tone than the original. The English version is not a direct translation of the German but contains a somewhat different set of lyrics.
