Julieta Venegas y Marisa Monte – Ilusión

November 12, 2008

Julieta Venegas e Marisa Monte - Ilusión
Absolutely brilliant. I can’t stop listening.
Even if you don’t understand Spanish or Portuguese, I strongly recommend giving the song a listen. According to Julieta, the song is about the illusions we have in life that we keep losing through life and it is not good to lose them completely, because without illusions, life would be very grey.
I love Marisa Monte and I adore and secretly want to marry Julieta Venegas.


Uma vez eu tive uma ilusão
E não soube o que fazer
Não soube o que fazer
Com ela
Não soube o que fazer
E ela se foi
Porque eu a deixei
Por que eu a deixei?
Não sei
Eu só sei que ela se foi

Mi corazón desde entonces
La llora diario
No portão
Por ella no supe que hacer
y se me fue
Porque la deje
¿Por que la deje?
No sé
Solo sé que se me fue

Sei que tudo o que eu queria
Deixei tudo o que eu queria
Porque não me deixei tentar
Vivê-la feliz

É a ilusão de que volte
O que me faça feliz
Faça viver

Por ella no supe que hacer
Y se me fue
Porque la deje
¿Por que la deje?
No sé
Solo sé que se me fue

Sei que tudo o que eu queria
Deixei tudo o que eu queria
Porque não me deixei tentar
Viver-la feliz

Sei que tudo o que eu queria
Deixei tudo o que eu queria
Porque no me dejo
Tratar de ser la feliz

Porque la deje
¿Por que la deje?
No sé
Solo sé que se me fue

    If you have the opportunity to see Marisa’s show, go and have fun. It’s excellent.

    The funny thing here is that I’m Brazilian and accidently found your blog and saw the song for the first time.

    Cara said that the two voices unite in a perfect marriage.

    Bye

    I was the editor for the Julieta Venegas MTV Unplugged, and this song was probably one of my favorites from the whole album…. I’m glad to hear you guys like it.

    Thanks for putting up this post about this wonderful song from an outstanding album and concert. If you haven’t heard Julieta’s duo with Lenine on his MTV Unplugged album, check that out too.

    I wonder if Julieta would be cool with bigamy…
