Shoe shiner, sho shiner, shoe shiner,
Come back to my Chinatown
I sing for you, shoe shiner
I show a memories clown
I shoe a memories clown
Shoe shiner, sho shiner
Come back to my Chinatown
I sing for you, shoe shiner
Chinatown, Chinatown!
Looking by ear you can see Shanghai
at the bottom to the avenues of Vienna
and his silhouette is hinted at
unmistakable in the midst of the comings and goings
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, com, com
Explain to life, explain com
Ah, uncle, uncle, com , how
explain to me well, explain why
and little by little the film of this film unravels
ah, uncle, uncle
Come back to my Chinatown
Here is Duke Ellington, great boxer
all boasts and silences
Laugh, wild man, laugh, laugh
among the jasmines of dark Africa
only the nephew understands the uncle
no need to say it,
come on, you deserve a dollar,
Ah! Come back to my old Chinatown
Ah, uncle, uncle, com, com
explain life, explain why
ah, uncle, uncle com, com
explain everything to me, explain so
and meanwhile everything unrolls
like a film
Ah! Uncle, uncle!
