 Song:      JUPP (lyrics: Wolfgang Niedecken/ music: BAP) 
 Album:     Fr Usszeschnigge (also live: Bess Demnhx) 
 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:

 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.

       un h nemp(*) dich met, jedenfalls meint er et       * und er nimmt...

 2. 
   Om Projamm(*) steiht Weltreis.                           * auf dem Programm

 >     in his own world set, totally alone

 (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.
