Lyrics and translation Marlene Dietrich - Illusions
Want
to
buy
some
illusions,
Tu
veux
acheter
des
illusions,
Slightly
used,
second
hand?
Légèrement
usagées,
d'occasion
?
They
were
lovely
illusions,
C'était
de
belles
illusions,
Reaching
high,
built
on
sand.
S'élevant
haut,
construites
sur
le
sable.
They
had
a
touch
of
paradise,
Elles
avaient
un
soupçon
de
paradis,
A
spell
you
can't
explain:
Un
charme
inexplicable
:
For
in
this
crazy
paradise,
Car
dans
ce
paradis
fou,
You
are
in
love
with
pain.
Tu
es
amoureux
de
la
douleur.
Want
to
buy
some
illusions,
Tu
veux
acheter
des
illusions,
Slightly
used,
just
like
new?
Légèrement
usagées,
comme
neuves
?
Such
romantic
illusions
-
De
si
romantiques
illusions
-
And
they're
all
about
you.
Et
elles
tournent
toutes
autour
de
toi.
I
sell
them
all
for
a
penny,
Je
les
vends
toutes
pour
un
sou,
They
make
pretty
souvenirs.
Elles
font
de
beaux
souvenirs.
Take
my
lovely
illusions
-
Prends
mes
belles
illusions
-
Some
for
laughs,
some
for
tears
Certaines
pour
rire,
certaines
pour
pleurer
