Schami-Sha
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
C'est la vie et c'est comme ça.
Les chatons de Perse
que ma main caresse
Sont moins doux,
moins doux que toi.
Les fureurs anglaises
et les portugaises,
Tu vaux mieux que ça.
Les tapis de Perse,
toutes les averses
De soie et d'alpaga,
Les tissus de l'Inde
et de l'Insulinde...
Sha !
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
C'est la vie et c'est comme ça.
Les poisons funestes,
les citrons zestes,
Les vestes et tout ça,
Les aristocrates
et les rois verdâtres,
Tu vaux mieux que ça.
Les fruits de l'empire,
il vaut mieux en rire
Ou les voir au cinéma.
Ce sont des bêtises,
moins qu'une cerise...
Sha !
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
C'est la vie et c'est comme ça.
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
C'est la vie et c'est comme ça.

Shami-Sha
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
That's life and it's just the way it is
The Persian kittens
that my hand strokes
Are less tender,
less tender than you.
The English furies
and the Portuguese ones,
You deserve better than that.
The rugs of Persia,
all the downpours
Of silk and alpaca,
The fabrics of India
and Insulinde...
Sha!
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
That's life and it's just the way it is
The deadly poisons,
the lemon peels,
The jackets and all that,
The aristocrats
and the greenish kings,
You deserve better than that.
The fruits of empire,
better laugh of them
Or see them in a movie.
They're nonsense,
worth less than a cherry...
Sha!
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
That's life and it's just the way it is
Shami-Sha misha mi,
Shami-Sha misha mi,
That's life and it's just the way it is
