Translation of the song lyrics Lo zio - Paolo Conte

Lo zio (original)

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?!

Lo zio (translation)

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 ?!
