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+] met singe(*) Kumpels un d [C7]Mammutflsch Lam[d]brusco * 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\
un h [Bb]nemp(*) dich met, jedenfalls [bb]meint er et * und er nimmt...
un h verz[F]hllt sich fruh([C]*), * 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

> the blond fairy from Peking, named Lola
Nur vun Stalingraad verzllte nie

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.
