BAP - Jupp

      

 #------------------------------------------------------------------------------##
 

 
 ====================================================================
 
 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):

 Stalingraad pack h nie, irgendwie.

 (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.
