Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Abracadabra, abracadabra
– Ko te Abracadabra, ko te abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
– Ko te Abracadabra, ko te abracadabra
Pay the toll to the angels
– Utua te utu ki nga anahera
Drawin’ circles in the clouds
– Ko ngā porohita i roto i ngā kapua
Keep your mind on the distance
– Kia mau ki to hinengaro i runga i te tawhiti
When the devil turns around
– Ka huri te rewera
Hold me in your heart tonight
– Kia mau ki ahau i roto i tou ngakau i tenei po
In the magic of the dark moonlight
– I roto i te magic o te marama pouri
Save me from this empty fight
– Whakaorangia ahau i tenei whawhai kau
In the game of life
– I te kēmu o te ora
Like a poem said by a lady in red
– Ka rite ki te waiata i korerotia e te wahine i roto i te whero
You hear the last few words of your life
– Ka rongo koe i nga kupu whakamutunga o to koiora
With a haunting dance, now you’re both in a trance
– Ki te kanikani whakamataku, inaianei kei roto koe i te whakamataku
It’s time to cast your spell on the night
– Kua tae ki te wā ki te tuku i tō kupu whakaari i te pō
“Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na
– “Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na ko te tikanga o te kupu “Abracadabra”
Abracadabra, morta-oo-ga-ga
– Ko Abracadabra, ko morta-oo-ga-ga
Abracadabra, abra-oo-na-na”
– Ko Abracadabra, ko abra-oo-na-na”
In her tongue she said, “Death or love tonight”
– I roto i tona arero ka mea ia, “Te Mate, te aroha ranei i tenei po”
Abracadabra, abracadabra
– Ko te Abracadabra, ko te abracadabra
Abracadabra, abracadabra
– Ko te Abracadabra, ko te abracadabra
Feel the beat under your feet, the floor’s on fire
– Fe i te patuki i raro i your waewae, te papa i runga i te ahi
Abracadabra, abracadabra
– Ko te Abracadabra, ko te abracadabra
Choose the road on the west side
– Whiriwhiria te huarahi i te taha ki te hauauru
As the dust flies, watch it burn
– Ka rere te puehu, mātakitaki i a ia e tahu ana
Don’t waste time on a feelin’
– Kaua e ngaro te wā i runga i te whakaaro
Use your passion, no return
– Whakamahia tō ngākau nui, kaua e hoki mai
Hold me in your heart tonight
– Kia mau ki ahau i roto i tou ngakau i tenei po
In the magic of the dark moonlight
– I roto i te magic o te marama pouri
Save me from this empty fight
– Whakaorangia ahau i tenei whawhai kau
In the game of life
– I te kēmu o te ora

Phantom of the dance floor, come to me
– Te wairua o te papa kanikani, haere mai ki ahau
Sing for me a sinful melody
– Waiata mai ki ahau he waiata hara
Ah, ah, ah
– Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
– Ah, ah, ah
“Abracadabra, amor-oo-na-na
