Abracadabra Lady Gaga lyrics
Original Lyrics
English
[Intro]
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
[Verse 1]
Pay the toll to the angels
Drawing circles in the clouds
Keep your mind on the distance
When the devil turns around
[Refrain]
Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting dance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the night
[Chorus]
"Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-oo-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-oo-na-na"
In her tongue she said, "Death or love tonight"
[Post-Chorus]
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor's on firе
Abracadabra, abracadabra
[Verse 2]
Choose the road on the wеst side
As the dust flies, watch it burn
Don't waste time on a feeling
Use your passion, no return
[Refrain]
Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting dance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the night
[Chorus]
"Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-oo-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-oo-na-na"
In her tongue she said, "Death or love tonight"
[Post-Chorus]
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor's on fire
Abracadabra, abracadabra
[Bridge]
Phantom of the dance floor, come to me
Sing for me a sinful melody
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Chorus]
"Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na
Abracadabra, morta-oo-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-oo-na-na"
In her tongue she said, "Death or love tonight"
Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
[Verse 1]
Pay the toll to the angels
Drawing circles in the clouds
Keep your mind on the distance
When the devil turns around
[Refrain]
Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a poem said by a lady in red
You hear the last few words of your life
With a haunting dance, now you're both in a trance
It's time to cast your spell on the night

Abracadabra, morta-oo-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-oo-na-na"

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
[Verso 1]
Paga el peaje a los ángeles
Dibujando círculos en las nubes
Mantén tu mente en la distancia
Cuando el diablo se dé la vuelta
[Estribillo]
Sostenme en tu corazón esta noche
En la magia de la luz de la luna oscura
Sálvame de esta lucha vacía
En el juego de la vida

Como un poema dicho por una dama de rojo
Escuchas las últimas palabras de tu vida
Con un baile inquietante, ahora ambos están en trance
Es hora de lanzar tu hechizo en la noche

Abracadabra, abracadabra
Siente el ritmo bajo tus pies, el piso arde
Abracadabra, abracadabra

Elige el camino del lado oeste
Mientras el polvo vuela, mira cómo arde
No pierdas tiempo en un sentimiento
Usa tu pasión, no hay vuelta atrás

Sostenme en tu corazón esta noche
En la magia de la luz de la luna oscura
Sálvame de esta lucha vacía
En el juego de la vida

Meaning & Explanation
Lady Gaga's 'Abracadabra' is a mystical exploration of love, death, and the magic that binds them. The song delves into the duality of existence, where the protagonist navigates between celestial guidance and earthly temptations. The recurring motif of 'Abracadabra' serves as a spell, invoking both love and death, symbolizing the transformative power of emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey through darkness and light, where the 'lady in red' acts as a harbinger of fate, casting spells that blur the line between reality and fantasy. The song's emotional core lies in its portrayal of a 'game of life,' where every decision is a gamble between passion and peril. The haunting dance and trance-like state described in the pre-chorus suggest a surrender to the inevitable, a moment of profound connection with the unknown. The chorus, with its incantation-like repetition, emphasizes the weight of the choices made, echoing the eternal struggle between love and mortality. The post-chorus's imagery of the floor on fire adds a layer of urgency and intensity, symbolizing the burning desire and the inevitable consequences of one's actions. The bridge introduces a 'phantom of the dance floor,' a metaphor for the lingering presence of past experiences and the seductive allure of forbidden desires. Overall, 'Abracadabra' is a powerful anthem that resonates with listeners through its exploration of universal themes, its poetic language, and its ability to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection.
