El Ilusionista

The Illusionist

El Ilusionista

Sitting in a corner, he paid the entranceSentado en un rincón pagó la entrada
To a ferris wheel that takes him upDe una noria que le sube
It spins him around and brings him downLe da vueltas y le baja
And when it comes down, he's sitting againY cuando baja está otra vez sentado
On a thread that escapesSobre un hilo que se escapa
From a poorly stuck needleDe una aguja mal clavada

Oh my love, oh I don't knowAy mi amor,ay no sé
What a shame to mistake the sceneryQué pena equivocarme de paisaje
From oh to ohDe ay en ay
Oh his voiceAy su voz
Fades in the background to an ohSe apaga en el fondo a un ay
The illusionist entered his life...El el ilusionista entró en su vida...

The illusionist entered his lifeEl el ilusionista entró en su vida
He put his laughter in the top hatMetió su risa en la chistera
And made it disappearY la hizo desaparecer
Sinking between sigh and sighHundiéndose entre suspiro y suspiro
He gave up on this lifeDe esta vida se dio al piro
To never return againPara nunca más volver

Oh, this trick wasn't like thisAy,que este truco no era así
His pulse doesn't even tick-tockQue de su pulso no sale ni un tic-tac
And even though he counted to threeY aunque contó hasta tres
He couldn't wake upNo consiguió despertar
Charlatan illusionistIlusionista charlatán
Illusionist and nothing more...Ilusionista y nada más...

Oh my love, oh I don't knowAy mi amor, ay no sé
What a shame to turn your back on this sceneryQué pena dar la espalda a este paisaje
From oh to ohDe ay en ay
Oh your voiceAy si voz
Lifeless for an ohSin vida por un ay

The illusionist entered his lifeEl ilusionista entró en su vida
The illusionist, the illusionistEl ilusionista,el ilusionista
The illusionistEl ilusionista
Stole his life...Robó su vida...
