“Abracadabra” presents a rich tapestry of emotions and sentiments, immersed in a lyrical world that Dener Ceide masterfully crafts.
The song explores the complex dance between two individuals, defined by deep feelings, hesitations, and an underlying longing for connection.
The Message Behind the Magic
Ceide’s lyrics offer a nuanced portrayal of a magnetic attraction that is hard to resist. The opening lines highlight an irresistible presence that compels the speaker towards a magnetic pull despite attempts to avoid it.
This attraction is further emphasized with phrases such as “M’pa reziste sa” (I can’t resist this) and “Pou mwen ou son’ antrav” (For me, you are an obstacle).
The song also delves into a dialogue of desire, with lines like “Pouki w’ap fè enteresan” (Why are you trying to be intriguing?) and “Ou sou sa w’ap di abracadabra” (You say ‘abracadabra’ to pass the time).
This conversation hints at a playful push-and-pull dynamic between the two individuals, with an element of teasing and intrigue.
The refrain “Fè’m pale fè’m pale fè’m fatige” (Make me talk, make me tired) may symbolize the emotional exhaustion from this dance of attraction.
Yet, the repetition signifies an acceptance and willingness to endure this fatigue, indicating an intense yearning for the other.
The latter part of the song employs metaphoric language to emphasize the connection’s depth further.
The singer describes himself as a “chabon’k sou recho” (charcoal on a stove) waiting to be fanned into flames. This metaphor encapsulates the intensity of feelings and the desire for the other to engage and interact.
Abracadabra Lyrics
Pouki’w kanpe laba
Ou konn byen prezans ou
M’pa reziste sa
Li pa senp lè’w bò kote’m
Lè souf ou tou pre’m
Pou mwen ou son’ antrav
Se tout sans mwen ki kont mwen
Chak fwa mwen wè’w douvan’m
Kilès ki voye’w teste m di mwen
Paske mwen pap kite’w chape anba’m
Met kwè mwen
Mwen di’w mwen pap kite’w chape anba’m
Fè’m pale fè’m pale fè’m fatige
Pouki w’ap fè enteresan fè enteresan
Ou sou sa w’ap di abracadabra
Pou fè tan pase
Ou fe mwen pale pale ba ou
Vide tout zantray mwen ba ou
Fè’m pale fè’m pale fè’m fatige
Pouki w’ap fè enteresan fè enteresan
Ou sou sa w’ap di abracadabra
Pou fè tan pase
Pa met limit sou tan nou
Paske moman sa ka pi long pase tout lòt yo
Pa gen pwoblèm si jou bare’m
Depi ou kò nou pare pou dyaloge
Pou mennen’m mennen’m
Mennen mwen tout kote’k kache
sou po’w
Mwen vle’ w konn tout chemen’k kwochi sou kò’m
Ou konn lavil konn andeyò’m
Ou se repons
Ret kwè
Ou fè’m pwomès sa lontan
Ou se temwayaj mwen Ole Ole
Fè’m pale fè’m pale fè’m fatige
Pouki w’ap fè enteresan fè enteresan
Ou sou sa w’ap di abracadabra
Pou fè tan pase
Ou fe mwen pale pale ba ou
Vide tout zantray mwen ba ou
Fè’m pale fè’m pale fè’m fatige
Pouki w’ap fè enteresan fè enteresan
Ou sou sa w’ap di abracadabra

Sou vizaj ou’m ka li yon verite
Mwen ka wè’w vle men lapèrèz mare’w
