True, she's no longer an ingénue, but

Натали - Шахерезада

has some fairly disingenuous lyrics: the chorus is

I'm not Sheherazade: my stories aren't told in words; there is no greater treasure than love.

and while we might believe France Gall when she sings on Eurovision that she's a wax doll who has no clue what her lyrics mean, it's a bit more difficult to buy the bimbo impression when —as with a rook who pretends to attack a pawn ... but, should it attempt to move, also menaces the king lined up behind it— the same line that claims illiteracy is making a literary reference.

It's especially difficult upon seeing that both music and lyrics are credited to a certain « Н. Рудина ».
