Ilusão Lyrics in English Filipe Ret

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ilusão by Filipe Ret from Portuguese to English.
Today I feel inspired, I'm a lucky man
Flying higher, getting stronger
Notice that every boy is a king
Today I know I blew a stash
In the passenger seat, she's marvelous
Listening to Madonna, dancing with space
Blue and pink, neon reflection
Every conviction can be dangerous
With her life has amazing moments
With her all my dreams are more doable
Invisible profits are better
Apart we're strong, together unbeatable
The road of life is the same as death
The engine's roar can be louder
I guard the stash, we're the ones who took it
With skill and faith we ignore luck
I set up my scheme, today I'm in my ride
Me and my girl at full speed
Pearl-colored eyes, city lights
A movie where nobody claps
And she tells me
If everything's an illusion
I lived the way I wanted
If everything's an illusion
I lived the way I wanted
If everything's an illusion
I lived the way I wanted
If everything's an illusion
Yesterday I read a book that made me think
Past mistakes are worth rethinking
Wise like Buddha, but the heart doesn't think
Respect my madness and I'll respect your essence
Don't worry, I won't just trash the system
Out of patience, I organized my plan
Whoever isn't the solution is part of the problem too
Our story is now, worthy of cinema
I'm in Harlem, I'm in TTK
I don't write rhymes, my spirit takes over
Rolling that stuff that makes me think against
Enemies easy to decipher
Hey, nothing shakes me
King on the mic, FR bullet sound
I fought depression the hard way
Distilling verses I got huge, speak
I set up my scheme, today I'm in my ride
Me and my girl at full speed
Pearl-colored eyes, city lights
A movie where nobody claps
And she tells me
If everything's an illusion
I lived the way I wanted
If everything's an illusion
I lived the way I wanted
If everything's an illusion
I lived the way I wanted
If everything's an illusion
(How I wanted, I lived
It'll only be eternal after the end
How I wanted, I lived
It'll only be eternal after the end
How I wanted, I lived
It'll only be eternal after the end
How I wanted, I lived
It'll only be eternal after the end
How I wanted, I lived
It'll only be eternal after the end
How I wanted, I lived
It'll only be eternal after the end
How I wanted, I lived
It'll only be eternal after the end)

SONG MEANING

Ilusão feels like a nighttime drive through neon streets, where Filipe Ret celebrates the rush of success while questioning what is truly real. Over pounding beats he paints himself as a lucky king in a fast car, cash in hand, lover at his side, and Madonna on the radio. Every flashing color and roaring engine represents ambition, self-belief, and the thrill of turning dreams into palpable victories.

Yet beneath the swagger lies a reflective core. Ret admits that “tudo é uma ilusão”—everything might be an illusion—so the only logical response is to live exactly as you want. The song balances confidence with philosophy: chase goals, fight depression, build your own system, but never forget that life and death share the same road. In the end the message is simple and bold: if reality is uncertain, make your story so vivid that it outshines the illusion.
