Chords

From: Ralf Gesellensetter Song: JUPP (lyrics: Wolfgang Niedecken/ music: BAP) Album: Fr Usszeschnigge (also live: Bess Demnhx) Key words: German Rock, Singer&Song Writer, Acoustic 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 Dm 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 Bbm 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 Dm 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 Dm 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 Bbm 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.
