Translation of the song lyrics Manekena ilūzija - Normunds Rutulis

Manekena ilūzija (original)

Cigāru dūmos, pagrabos drūmos
Aiztek starp pirkstiem dienas uz zelts
Nesāpēs, nesāpēs brūcē bērtā dzīves sāls
Un nekad nebeigsies manu ilūziju karnevāls
Kā manekenam, pabērna lomā
Jānes ir sevī svešs vārds un krusts
Tikai tu nesaki, ka tā sapņa vairāk nav
Jo nekad nebeigsies manu ilūziju karnevāls
Neraud vientule dvēsele
Neiet meklēt, kas sapratīs
Un kā suns, kas ir noklīdis
Naktī gaudo, ka tas ir viss

Manekena ilūzija (translation)

In cigar smoke, dark cellars
Days on gold slip between fingers
It will not hurt, the salt of life poured into the wound will not hurt
And the carnival of my illusions will never end
As a dummy, in the role of stepfather
John is a foreign name and a cross
Only you don't say that dream is gone
Because the carnival of my illusions will never end
No lonely soul cries
Don't go looking for someone who will understand
And like a dog that has strayed
Howl in the night that's all
