from: Ralf Gesellensetter
Song: JUPP (lyrics: Wolfgang Niedecken/ music: BAP)
Album: Fr Usszeschnigge (also live: Bess Demnhx)
Key words: German Rock, Singer&Song Writer, Accoustic Guitar for Virtuosi
NOTE: Lyrics translated into English (roughly) by RG
I. Preliminaries
A. INTRO by Klaus "Major" Heuser(BAP)
VIRTOUSI: It's really most pretentious and worth playing even if you don't
know the song and are not into krautrock... (The corresponding chords are my
own interpretation which is a kind of hobby of mine - RG)

II. The original song
After the INTRO the song starts like this (lyrics are Cologne German,
an English translation is provided at the bottom! - RG):
1. * Hochdeutsch:
D
Ahn der Vringspooz(*) triffsten * Am Severinstor
d7/5+ C7 d
met singe(*) Kumpels un d Mammutflsch Lambrusco * seinen
D
Op d Plastiktt
d7/5+
met singe paar Klamotte steiht: Eduscho
F
jo, d Jupp trick jraad sing Sejel huh(*) * zieht gerade \
\sein Segel hoch\
Bb bb
un h nemp(*) dich met, jedenfalls meint er et * und er nimmt...
F C
un h verzhllt sich fruh(*), * erzhlt sich froh
2.
Om Projamm(*) steiht Weltreis. * auf dem Programm
Wie jeden Daach verzllte(*), wat ihm wo passiert ess * Tag erzhlt er
Kokosnss un Packeis...
und wie h vver(*) den quator balanciert ess * er ber
un vverhaup, die dausend Fraue, die h kannt
un die Messerstecherei, sick(*) der d Duhme fhlt, * seit
ahn singer rchte Hand.
3.
Un eez en(*) Katmandu, * Und erst in
wo h met zwei Yetis Skat jekloppt(*) htt * gespielt
do woot(*) manche Nejer blass * wurde
vun dmm, wat unsre Jupp -och jeistisch- alles drophtt * drauf hat
un dann die Wahnsinnszick(*) als Robinson * -zeit
en singer eijene(*) Welt, janz op sich self jestellt * seiner eigenen
oh Mann, wer kann dat schon?
4.
Jupp verzllt vom Joldrausch
un, wie h Twist jedanz htt met 'ner Cobra
Vun 'nem karrierten Zebra,
d blonde Fee aus Peking, namens Lola.
Nur vun Stalingraad verzllte nie
"Wo litt(*) denn Stalingraad? En welchem Land ess dat?" * liegt
Stalingraad pack h nie, irgendwie.
(followed by electric guitar solo)
III. Now the English interpretation, quite crude, I must admit. As for its
contents: it's not meant to be politically, but just a plain story about
an old tramp from Cologne creating his own, probably past in order to
dispace bad remembrances (check it out):
1.
D # ANNOTATIONS
Ahn der Vringspooz(*) triffsten * Am Severinstor
> You meet him at Severin's Gate(#) # Sight in Cologne

2.

> in his own world set, totally alone
oh Mann, wer kann dat schon?
> oh man, who would be able to?
4.

> the blond fairy from Peking, named Lola
Nur vun Stalingraad verzllte nie
> About Stalingrad(#) he doesn't tell # Russia, site of a
major defeat of German
troups in WW II
"Wo litt(*) denn Stalingraad? En welchem Land ess dat?" * liegt
> "where's Stalingrad? What country's that?"
Stalingraad pack h nie, irgendwie.
> Stalingrad he'll never cope, somehow...
(followed by Electric Guitar Solo.)
I hope there is some positive resonance for this song. If you have ideas of
how to create a more apt English translation (I'm not a native Engish speaker)
you are welcome.
