Lyrics
Illusions, illusions, quelle raison
Peut envoûter un homme
Le ronger d’ambitions
Qu’il devienne funambule
Sur un fil de soie…?
Illusions, illusions, qui s’en vont
Que l’on veut garder
Et qui restent à l’horizon
Disparaissent comme des bulles
Quand le vent soufflera…
La grande roue n’attend pas
Regarde là, comme c’est beau
Mais pourquoi restes-tu en bas?
Elle veut t’emmener là-haut
Elle tourne, elle tourne
Et mes larmes de joie
Qui coulent, qui coulent, sont si amères
Pourquoi?
Illusions
Illusions, illusions, l'émotion vous prend
Quand une femme vous donne sa passion
Au ciné Eldorado, à la dernière séance
Illusions, illusions, Compagnon
De Galère, de colère
Une flèche, un poison
Dans le coeur d’un looser
Qui attend sa dernière chance
Lyrics translation
Illusions, illusions, what reason
Can bewitch a man
The gnawing of ambitions
Let him become a Funambulist
On a silk thread...?
Illusions, illusions, that go away
That we want to keep
And that remain on the horizon
Disappear like bubbles
When the wind blows…
The ferris wheel does not wait
Look at this, how beautiful it is
But why are you staying downstairs?
She wants to take you up there.
She's spinning, she's spinning
And my tears of joy
That flow, that flow, are so bitter
Why?
Illusion
Illusions, illusions, emotion takes you
When a woman gives you her passion
At the Eldorado Cinema, at the last session
Illusions, illusions, companion
Of gallows, of anger
An arrow, a poison
In the heart of a looser
Who is waiting for his last chance
