Shmata Lyrics English translation

Chorus:
All your letters are nothing but waste paper;
To me, you're not a girl but just a rag.
Your love is just a fake -- a knock-off;
And even if you jumped out the window, it wouldn't cause me any anguish.

I wrote billets-doux for you;
Even sent you a bag of candy once.
I bawled, squeaked and promised
That I hadn't given yet my heart to anyone.

hey hey hey hey hey
shovel it if you're stupid.
hey hey hey hey hey
here, take this.

[chorus]
All your letters ... you'e a rag.
All your letters ... you're just a rag.

While you're not yet back home from the army,
I told you, I won't fall in love with anyone.
I wrote down quotes by feminist chicks,Skryabin - Shmata - http://motolyrics.com/skryabin/shmata-lyrics-english-translation.html
And ran off to Egypt with a basketball player.

hey hey hey hey hey,
shovel it if you're stupid.
hey hey hey hey hey,
here, take this.

[chorus]

By autumn, you'll finish your stint in the army and you'll be back home.
You'll find yourself a wonderful new girl
Who can't read or write,
And then you'll have less stuff to shovel...

[chorus]

All your letters ... you're a rag.
All your letters ... you're just a rag.

Rag, rag, rag...
...you're just a rag...
Rag, rag, rag...
...an ordinary rag...
Rag, rag, rag...
...a torn rag...
Rag, rag, rag...
yeah, yeah, yeah
