Illusioon

On mustast puust sirge klarnet,

uus hõbedast saksofon.

Ja keegi kuskil peab arvet:

mis kõik see sisse toob.

Ja jagab käske, ta pill on arvelaud,

ta töö on raske, aga mul vaid

mu mäng ja laul.

Kitarr kas sisse toob rohkem,

kui kõva pauguga trumm,

ei mängi vaid pillikohver,

jah, kahjuks kohver on tumm.

Kuid ärge laske

end häirida nüüd muul.

Ei mingeid raskeid riske,

ei mingeid lõppe lool.

REF:

Illusioon, illusioon, sind vaid loon,

sind vaid loon, sind loon, suur illusioon.

Illusioon, illusioon, sind vaid loon, sind vaid loon!

Sind loon, suur illusioon!

Sind loon, sind loon.

Kui kimbu mahedaid toone ma sulle,

kuulaja, toon, siis teeme koos ilusioone.

Või on see lapsik joon.

Ei ole raske, kuid pole kerge, tea,

kui hommiktunnil siit end

ma ükskord koju vean.

Ref:

Illusioon end peidab mõnes loos.

Dixieland, Ladyland, tatsub jalg

ja hüpleb händ, naer kõrvuni veab suu.

Illusioon, illusioon, sind vaid loon, sind vaid loon,

sind loon, suur illusioon, sind loon, sind loon!

Illusion

The straight clarinet is of black wood,

the new saxophone of silver.

Somewhere someone keeps accounts,

how much it all brings in.

And gives orders, his (musical) instrument is abacus,

His work-job is hard, but I only have

my playing/game and singing/song.

Does the guitar bring in more

than the drum with a loud bang?

Only instrument-case doesn't make-play a sound,

Yes, unfortunately it's mute.

But don't let

all else disturb you now.

Not any heavy-difficult risks,

no endings to a story-song.

CHORUS

Illusion, illusion, I create only you,

I create only you, I create you, great illusion.

Illusion, illusion, I create only you, I create only you!

I create you, great illusion!

I create you, I create you.

When a bundle of soft tunes1, for you,

listener, I bring, then we create illusions together.2

Or is it a childish trait?

It isn't hard, but it isn't easy, know it

when on an hour of morning from here I

take myself home eventually.

Ch.

An illusion hides itself in some story-song.

Dixieland, Ladyland, a leg toddles

and a tail pounces, laugh pulls a (grinning) mouth up to the ears.

Illusion, illusion, I create only you, I create only you!

I create you, great illusion, I create you, I create you.

1. or 'subdued tones'
2. or 'let's make illusions together'
