At a very young age, Yuri showed artistic interest and she was accepted to a famous Russian ballet. However, she wasn't allowed to join because her parents were afraid of the prospect of little Yuri living in a foreign country.

When Yuri was 12, she participated in two famous Mexican television children's shows for Televisa, including the Cepillin show.

In the late 1970s, she released her first album and represented Mexico in the Festival Oti, reaching second place and winning an award as the best newcomer to the contest. In 1980, she was signed to a contract by Gamma Records, and her career took off, becoming widely known in Spain, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Argentina, and many other hispanic countries. But before she gained international superstar status, in 1982, she participated again in the Festival OTI, earning a fourth place.

During the rest of the 1980s, Yuri's albums often reached the top, earning her over 100 gold albums in Mexico. One of Yuri's most memorable hits of the late 1980s is the disco-styled "Que Te Pasa."

In 1994, Yuri and Chayanne were the stars of the Volver a Empezar telenovela, and in 1995, she married a Chilean musician. Later, she became a born-again Christian and has made Christian albums. Although there was some controversy as she decided to sing non Christian music again.

In 2005, she was chosen to host the new TV season of a talent contest for newcoming singers, Objetivo Fama that began in 2004.

Yuri was a judge on the second season of Cantando Por un Sueño. She also was a judge during its first season and performed several times on the show.

In 2006, Yuri released an album with a Mexican singer, Mijares, called Acompañame. Its title track, Acompañame, is a sentimental romantic ballad.

Many call Yuri "La Madonna Mexicana," i.e. "The Mexican Madonna" (although this characterization has also been applied to Gloria Trevi.)

진짜인 척하지 마 널 가려내기 벅차 난, 난
온통 예상 밖이야 안심할 수 없잖아 ah

심장이 빨리 뛰는 건 뭐니
하늘을 막 날다가도 끝도 없이 떨어져 또
음 사실 많이 헷갈려 아직
다시 눈을 감아 봐도 (또, 또)

깨기 싫은 꿈
눈을 뜨면 이 밤
나는 혼자지만
너로 채운 꿈
너를 안은 순간 사라지겠지만

깨기 싫은 꿈 ah ah woo
Ah ah woo ah ah woo ah ah

널 다 믿으면 안 된대
내가 꾸며낸 거짓이래
설레는 저 함정에
빠져들면 안 된대

심장이 빨리 뛰는 건 뭐니
하늘을 막 날다가도
끝도 없이 떨어져 또
음 사실 많이 헷갈려 아직
미로 같은 너의 맘 속 (no, no)

깨기 싫은 꿈
눈을 뜨면 이 밤
나는 혼자지만
너로 채운 꿈
너를 안은 순간
사라지겠지만

조금만 더 머물러 줘
나는 네가 궁금해
기대처럼 눈부실까
아무려면 뭐 어때
밤새도록 쫓아봐도
돌아보면 이미 넌 없어
손 틈새로 흩어진 널
난 멍하니

깨기 싫은 꿈

Woo ah ah woo ah ah

깨기 싫은 꿈

Overall Meaning

Yuri's "Illusion" is a song that explores the idea of holding onto a dream that we know will fade away in the morning, and the internal struggle that comes with it. The first verse sets the tone of the song, with Yuri pleading with herself to not pretend that the dream is reality because it overwhelms her. The uncertainty of not knowing what is real and what is not keeps her heart racing, and even if she tries to fly high, the fall can be endless, confusing her even more.

As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the phrase, "a dream I don't want to wake up from," emphasizing the intensity of the desire to hold onto something that is temporary but also fulfilling. The bridge gives a glimpse of hope, asking the subject of the dream to stay a while longer, curious to see if the dream will indeed come true. But as the final chorus comes in, the reality sinks in that the dream, no matter how pure and perfect, will eventually disappear.

The song's message is relatable, as many have experienced the heartbreak of having a wonderful dream and the emptiness of it vanishing away in the morning light. Yuri's delivery of the lyrics is emotional enough to give the audience an idea of the depth of the feelings involved in the song.

진짜인 척하지 마 널 가려내기 벅차 난, 난
Don't pretend to be real, it's overwhelming for me to filter you out, me, me

온통 예상 밖이야 안심할 수 없잖아 ah
It's all unexpected, I can't be at ease, ah

심장이 빨리 뛰는 건 뭐니
What's making my heart beat fast?

하늘을 막 날다가도 끝도 없이 떨어져 또
Even if I fly to block the sky, I fall endlessly again

음 사실 많이 헷갈려 아직
Actually, I'm still confused a lot

다시 눈을 감아 봐도 (또, 또)
Even if I close my eyes again (again, again)

깨기 싫은 꿈
A dream that I don't want to wake up from

눈을 뜨면 이 밤
When I open my eyes, this night

나는 혼자지만
I'm alone, but

너로 채운 꿈
A dream filled with you

너를 안은 순간 사라지겠지만
But it will disappear the moment I embrace you

널 다 믿으면 안 된대
I shouldn't believe everything about you

내가 꾸며낸 거짓이래
It's the lies that I've made up

설레는 저 함정에
In that exciting trap

빠져들면 안 된대
I shouldn't fall into it

미로 같은 너의 맘 속 (no, no)
In your mind, like a maze (no, no)

조금만 더 머물러 줘
Stay a little longer

나는 네가 궁금해
I'm curious about you

기대처럼 눈부실까
Will it dazzle like I expected?

아무려면 뭐 어때
What does it matter if it's nothing?

밤새도록 쫓아봐도
Even if I chase you all night long

돌아보면 이미 넌 없어
When I look back, you're already gone

손 틈새로 흩어진 널
You who scattered through my fingers

난 멍하니
I'm in a daze

싫은 꿈 ah ah woo ah ah
An unpleasant dream, ah ah woo ah ah

Woo ah ah woo ah ah
Woo ah ah woo ah ah
