Текст и перевод песни Miguel Bosé - El Ilusionista

El Ilusionista

Sentado en un rincón pagó la entrada
De una noria que le sube
Le da vueltas y le baja
Y cuando baja está otra vez sentado
Sobre un hilo que se escapa
De una aguja mal clavada

Ay, mi amor, ay no sé
Qué pena equivocarme de paisaje
De ay en ay, ay, su voz
Se apaga en fondo un ay
El ilusionista entró en su vida

El ilusionista entró en su vida
Metió su risa en la chistera
Y la hizo desaparecer
Hundiéndose entre suspiro y suspiro
De esta vida se dio el piro
Para nunca más volver

Ay, que este truco no era así
Que de su pulso no sale ni un tic-tac
Y aunque contó hasta tres
No consiguió despertar
Ilusionista charlatán
Ilusionando y nada más

Ay mi amor, ay no sé
Qué pena dar la espalda a este paisaje
De ay en ay, ay, su voz
Sin vida por un ay
El ilusionista entró en su vida
El ilusionista, el ilusionista
El ilusionista, robó su vida

The Illusionist

Sitting in a corner, he paid the entrance fee
Of a Ferris wheel that lifts him up
It spins him around and brings him down
And when he gets down, he's sitting again
On a thread that escapes
From a poorly nailed needle

Oh, my love, I don't know
What a shame to get the scenery wrong
From oh to oh, oh, her voice
Fades away in the background to an oh
The illusionist entered her life

The illusionist entered her life
He put his laughter in the top hat
And made it disappear
Sinking between sigh and sigh
He kicked the bucket in this life
Never to return

Oh, this trick wasn't like that
Not a single tick-tock comes from her pulse
And although he counted to three
He didn't manage to wake her up
Quack illusionist
Just creating illusions and nothing more

Oh my love, I don't know
What a shame to turn your back on this scenery
From oh to oh, oh, her voice
Lifeless because of an oh
The illusionist entered her life
The illusionist, the illusionist
The illusionist, he stole her life
