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 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 d7/5+ C7 d met singe(*) Kumpels un d Mammutflsch Lambrusco * seinen > with his fellows and a giant bottle of Lambrusco(#) # cheap red wine D Op d Plastiktt > The plastic bag d7/5+ C7 d met singe paar Klamotte steiht: Eduscho > containing his few stuff reads: Edusho (#) # Coffee Corp.(tm) F C jo, d Jupp trick jraad sing Sejel huh(*) * zieht gerade \ > yeah, ole Yupp's about to set his sail \sein Segel hoch\ Bb bb un h nemp(*) dich met, jedenfalls meint er et * und er nimmt... > and you're taken along - so he thinks, anyway F C un h verzllt sich fruh(*). * erzhlt sich froh > and tells glad himself(#) # makes himself happy by telling stories 2. Om Projamm(*) steiht Weltreis. * auf dem Programm > The programme reads "globe trip" Wie jeden Daach verzllte(*), wat ihm wo passiert ess * Tag erzhlt er > As all days he's recalling what he's seen everywhere Kokosnss un Packeis... > coconuts and pack-ice... und wie h vver(*) den quator balanciert ess * er ber > And like he balanced accros the equator un vverhaup, die dausend Fraue, die h kannt > and, by the way, thousand girls were his un die Messerstecherei, sick(*) der d Duhme fhlt, * seit > and then the knifling which made him loose ahn singer rchte Hand. > his right hand's thumb. 3. Un eez en(*) Katmandu, * Und erst in > And then in Katmandu where wo h met zwei Yetis Skat jekloppt(*) htt * gespielt > he was playing cards with two yetis do woot(*) manche Nejer blass * wurde > Some 'negro' grew pale coz of vun dmm, wat unsre Jupp -och jeistisch- alles drophtt * drauf hat > how well our Yupp - mentally too - was equipped un dann die Wahnsinnszick(*) als Robinson * -zeit > and then the mad times as Robinson en singer eijene(*) Welt, janz op sich self jestellt * seiner eigenen > in his own world set, totally alone oh Mann, wer kann dat schon? > oh man, who would be able to? 4. Jupp verzllt vom Joldrausch > Yupp tells about the gold rush un, wie h Twist jedanz htt met 'ner Cobra > and him dancing twist with a cobra Vun 'nem karrierten Zebra, > About a checked zebra, and d blonde Fee aus Peking, namens Lola. > 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. Ralf.
