Nie odkrywaj mi swoich kart
Nie otwieraj mi wciąż na świat oczu

The lyrics of La Strada's song "Pozwól żyć tej iluzji" convey a theme of escapism and the desire to live in dreams and illusions. The singer pleads with someone not to deny them the opportunity to live in their own fantasy world. They ask the person not to reveal their true intentions or expose them to the harsh realities of the world. Instead, they long to be allowed to exist in the realm of dreams and imagination.
The repeated line "Nie mów mi nie powtarzaj tak" (Don't tell me, don't repeat it) emphasizes the plea to be spared from hearing negative remarks or being reminded of the flaws and imperfections in their own world. The singer seeks to preserve the illusion and not have their idealized version of reality shattered. They long for the freedom to live in their dreams and not be pulled back to the harshness of the real world.
In the section where the singer sings, "I wanna find the way to your mind, it is noticed to hide, Baby stay with me tonight," we can interpret that the singer desires a connection with someone who shares their inclination towards escapism. They want to get inside the other person's mind, because they believe that person, too, seeks solace in illusions and dreams.

The singer wants the other person to trust them completely and let their guard down. They desire guidance and reassurance in navigating the complexities of life while still clinging onto their illusions. The line "Because I know" suggests that the singer is aware of the risks and challenges but believes that they can navigate them if they have the support and understanding of the other person.
Overall, "Pozwól żyć tej iluzji" portrays the desire to escape from reality, live in dreams, and find a kindred spirit who shares this inclination.
