Перевод песни

Песня: Abracadabra
— Do you have anything to say?
— Abracadabra...

[Verse 1:]
Wake up to your grave, it's the reminder on the clock,
And those fleeting bits of satisfaction, turn to afterthoughts.
But if you say the magic word,
You could call back all the birds,
And see that fire in the sky burn everything back to life.
You don't have to sleep to dream and live in paradise,
Abracadabra, are you watchin' closely?
Can you feel the dawn approachin'?

— Why can't you undo real locks, Professor?
— Maybe I'm just biding my time. Maybe one day I'll open my hand, get your attention, and ask, 'Are you watching closely?' Maybe a magic word or two. And then I'll be gone!
— How'd you get so famous anyway?
— Magic...

[Verse 2:]
I overheard niggas sayin', “Jay was on the verge.
He could make Rumsfeld resign with rhymes he never heard.
Commune with the birds
And can manipulate matter with the usage of words,
Throwin' dice on the curb.”
I'm the best and the freshest with the written text, fuck what you heard!
It's the, metaphysical, Dolby Digital,
Any Joe'll tell you, the flow's so pivotal
Every word's literal,
Each diatribe is sort of like an interview,
Come get an inner view
Right past the man and the myth to the mineral,
I was born uptown a mile from the river view.
Look, I'm a simple man, ya understand?
Masterin' my temple, man, tryna expand,
But when they think you simple, man,
They'll try to play you out like you a simpleton.
See what I'm sayin'?
Niggas want pain, not mercy,
I'm writin' in my Moleskine on the train to Canarsie,
Stand clear of the closin' doors,
The people are in constant fear of a Trojan War,
The vehicle that's supposed to free us is just an whore.
I gotta call 'em like I see 'em,
Even if it means they'll sanction my per diem,
The angels will thank me in the streets if I see 'em,
Sayin', “There he go, but I wouldn't wanna be him!”
Holdin' up a three and reppin' for New Orleans.
Let us begin!

Абракадабра

— Последние слова?
— Абракадабра.... 1

[Куплет 1:]
Ты просыпаешься от близости могилы, часы неумолимо тикают,
А осколки удовольствия превращаются в запоздалые мысли.
Но если ты произнесёшь волшебное слово,
Можно было бы вернуть всех птиц,..... [открыть перевод]
