Abracadabra [English translation]

Look at that shiny thing

over the table

without batteries or plugs to the net,

you can see like a VCR.

That guessing ball

plays divine music

without sets or amplifiers

it sounds like a TV.

Zoom, zoom..., coulomb, coulomb

zoom, zoom..., and it strikes me a volt,

learn these words

they're the new abracadabra

zoom, zoom..., farad, farad

zoom, zoom..., and I don't give a watt

what has this ball

that everyone likes it.

You seat in front and it's like the movies

it controls everything, it's amazing

it's like a computer

it's The Crystal Ball

Zoom, zoom..., coulomb, coulomb

zoom, zoom..., and it strikes me a volt,

learn these words

they're the new abracadabra

zoom, zoom..., farad, farad

zoom, zoom..., and I don't give a watt
