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

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.
