Lo zio - Paolo Conte

Shoe snhiner, sho shiner, shoe shiner,

Come back to my Chinatown

I sing for you, shoe shiner

I show a memory?

s clown

I shoe a memory?

s clown

Shoe snhiner, sho shiner?

Come back to my Chinatown

I sing for you, shoe shiner?

Chinatown, Chinatown!

Guardando a orecchio si vede Shangaj

in fondo ai viali di Vienna

e la sua sagoma si accenna

inconfondibile in mezzo al via-vai?

?Tuo zio ti aspetta, raggiungilo

quando ti guarda decifralo:

?

tutto cinema, cinema, cinema

ah, come back to my old Chinatown?

Ah, zio, zio, com??, com?

spiega a vita, spiega com?

ah, zio, zio, com??, com?

spiegami biene, spiega perch?

e piano piano si strotola

di questo film la pellicola

ah, zio, zio?

Come back to my Chinatown?

Ecco Duke Ellingtooon, grade boxeur

tutto vantagli e silenzi?

?Ridi, selvaggio, ridi, ridi

tra i gelsomini dell?

Africa buia?

solo il nipote capisce lo zio

non c?

bisogno di diterlo,

sciusci?, ti meriti un dollaro,

Ah!

Come back to my old Chinatown

Ah, zio, zio, com??, com?

spiega la vita, spiega perch?

ah, zio, zio com??, com?

spiegami tutto, sppiega cos?

e intanto tutto si srotola

come di un film la pellicola?

Ah!

Zio, zio?!

Shoe snhiner, sho shiner, shoe shiner,

Come back to my Chinatown

I sing for you, shoe shiner

I show a memory?

s clown

I shoe a memory?

s clown

Shoe snhiner, sho shiner?

Come back to my Chinatown

I sing for you, shoe shiner?

Chinatown, Chinatown!

Looking by ear shows Shangaj

at the end of the boulevards of Vienna

and her silhouette of him is hinted at

unmistakable in the middle of the hustle and bustle?

? Your uncle is waiting for you, join him

when he looks at you decipher it:

?

all cinema, cinema, cinema

ah, come back to my old Chinatown?

Ah, uncle, uncle, how?, How?

explains for life, explains how?

ah, uncle, uncle, com ??, com?

explain me well, explain why?

and little by little it undermines

of this film the film

ah, uncle, uncle?

Come back to my Chinatown?

Here is Duke Ellingtooon, a great boxer

all bragging rights and silences?

Laugh, wild, laugh, laugh

among the jasmines of?

Dark Africa?

only the nephew understands the uncle

not C?

need to say it,

Are you out? You deserve a dollar

Ah!

Come back to my old Chinatown

Ah, uncle, uncle, how?, How?

explains life, explains why?

ah, uncle, uncle com ??, com?

explain everything to me, explain cos?

and in the meantime everything unrolls

how about a film the film?

Ah!

Uncle, uncle ?!
