Translation of the song lyrics Ilusorio - Kevin Johansen

Ilusorio (original)

El es… el incomprendido
Es lo que le ha sucedido
Y aunque haya padecido
Es lo que ha elegido
Riega con sus escritos
Boliches y garitos
Y alguien lo ha convencido
Que es un poeta maldito
De bar en bar
Café en café
Cree que lo observan
Nadie lo ve
Cree que por ser bohemio
Le van a dar un premio
Pero se ha vuelto abstemio
Y el mozo frunce el ceño
Cansado de ser pobre
Y de tantos engaños
Su madre no le da un cobre
A sus 40 años
Podrías ser vos, podría ser yo
Incomprendidos somos todos
Podría ser él o aquellos dos
Incomprendidos somos todos
Podrías ser vos, podría ser yo
Incomprendidos somos todos
Da-ra-ra-ra da-ra-ra-ra
Da-ra-ra-ra da-ra-ra-ra
Da-ra-ra-ra

(translation)

He is… the misunderstood
It is what has happened to him
And although he has suffered
He is what he has chosen
Water with your writings
Bowling alleys and gambling dens
And someone has convinced him
That he is a damn poet
From bar to bar
coffee in cafe
He thinks they're watching him
no one sees it
He thinks that being bohemian
They are going to give you an award
But he has become teetotal
And the waiter frowns
tired of being poor
And of so many deceptions
His mother does not give him a copper
At 40 years old
It could be you, it could be me
Misunderstood we are all
It could be him or those two
Misunderstood we are all
It could be you, it could be me
Misunderstood we are all
Da-ra-ra-ra da-ra-ra-ra
Da-ra-ra-ra da-ra-ra-ra
Da-ra-ra-ra
