Letra: Nada - Ricardo Montaner

Category: , , , ,


Se me puso flaco el mundo
Y mi lamento cayó en coma
Y mi fe se hacia bosta
Y cambié de religión
Y la causa de mi ausente fue tu ausencia
Y mi cargo de conciencia no me deja respirar
Y a mi la gente me pregunta…

Que es de la mujer aquella y digo:
Nada..nada..nada..nada..nada..na na
Nada..nada..nada..nada..nada..nada
Nada..nada..nada..na na
Nada..nada..nada..nada..nada..
Yo era el dueño de la nada
Y no supe ni por qué..ay ay

Semejantes y lejanos
Fuimos costumbre ya era en vano
Y la salida de los sábados
Ya se hacía un funeral

La costumbre de brindar por los amores
Y pensar en el futuro
Era un tema a no tratar
Y ya el beso era obligado.

Y hasta hicimos el amor pensando en…
Nada..nada..nada..nada..na.. na..
Nada..nada..nada..nada..nada
Nada..nada..nada..nada..na..na..
Nada..nada..nada..nada..nada..
Yo era el dueño de la nada
Y no supe ni por qué..

Nada..nada..nada..nada..nada..na na
Nada..nada..nada..nada..nada..
Yo era el dueño de la nada

Y no supe ni por qué…ay ay ay!

Letra: Muchacha - Ricardo Montaner

Category: , , , ,


Ven acá
un cuento te voy a contar
se trata de tu soledad
y el rollo que en mi mente hay
Ven aquí o deja que me acerque yo
y luego intenta complacer
tus ansias locas de un amor

Muchacha
sin amor
la vida es un lugar fatal
Acércate un poquito más
tranquila
que todo marcha bien

Un, dos, tres
con mente nueva y al revés
dame un minuto para andar
como chiflado del amor
por el mundo
Tú, solamente tú
puedes conseguir
hacerme feliz
Muchacha
hoy, va a salir el sol
no hay nada mejor para mí
muchacha...
Oyeme
si no te logro convencer
me huele que tu posición
me va a poner de mal humor
Muchacha
por favor apaga la televisión
concéntrate en mi corazón
mira que puedes terminar peor
Baila muchachita,
muchacha bonita..

Letra: Moliendo Café - Ricardo Montaner

Category: , , , ,


Cuando la tarde languidece
renacen las sombras
y en la quietud los cafetales
vuelven a sentir
esta triste canción de amor
de la vieja molienda
en el letargo de la noche
parece decir...

Una pena de amor
una tristeza
lleva el zambo Manuel
en su amargura
pasa incansable la noche
moliendo café

Letra: Mi Querencia - Ricardo Montaner

Category: , , , ,


Lucero de la mañana, préstame tu claridad
Para alumbrarle los pasos, a mi amante que se va
Si pasas algún trabajo, lejos de mi soledad
Dile al lucero del alba, que te vuelva a regresar
Dile al lucero del alba, que te vuelva a regresar

Coro
Si mi querencia es el monte
Y mi fuerza un cimarrón
Como no quieres que cante
Como no quieres que cante
Como canta un corazón

Si mi querencia es el monte
Y la flor de Araguaney
Como no quieres que tenga
Como no quieres que tenga
Tantas ganas de volver

Si mi querencia es el monte
Y una punta de ganao´
Como no quieres que sueñe
Como no quieres que sueñe
Con el sol de los venaos´

Letra: Media Naranja - Ricardo Montaner

Category: , , , ,


Me tomas, me dejas
me tienes para jugar
Me mojas como niebla
con la que voy a chocar
y dices que no soy
tu media naranja
que te he dejado de gustar

Mis lágrimas son gotas
de dolor natural
las tuyas son muy falsas
me suena teatral
Lo malo es que mis nervios
no se van a acostumbrar
busquemos otro chance
que no quiero terminar

Sálvame, de esta desilusión
sácame del fondo el corazón
trátame un poco mejor
o yo lo haré por los dos

Deja de atormentarme
con lo de un nuevo amor
con que me mude solo,
con que me irá mejor
Deja de atormentarme
con que un gran tipo soy
que a alguien encontraré
y que me irá mejor

Asume que tienes
defectos como yo
que no eres una reina
ni modelo de playboy
Que soy un estudiante
con ganas de graduarme
y que no existo sin tu amor

Sálvame, de esta desilusión
sácame del fondo el corazón
trátame un poco mejor
o yo lo haré por los dos

Deja de atormentarme
con lo de un nuevo amor
con que me mude solo
con que me irá mejor
Deja de atormentarme
con que un gran tipo soy
que a alguien encontraré
y que me irá mejor

Me tomas, me dejas
me tienes para jugar
Lo malo es que no soy
tu media naranja...
Que te he dejado de gustar

Lyrics: I’ve Been Waiting For You - Abba

Category: , , , ,


I, I’ve been in love before
I thought I would no more
manage to hit the ceiling
still strange as it seems to be
you brought it back to me
that old feeling

I, I don’t know what you do
you make me think that you
possibly could release me
I think you’ll be able to
make all my dreams come true
and you ease me

You thrill me, you delight me
you please me, you excite me
you’re something I’d been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I’ve laid my life before you
I’ll have you want me more and more
and finally it seems
my lonely days are through
I’ve been waiting for you

I, I’m gonna make you mine
you’re gonna feel so fine
you’ll never want to leave me
I feel you belong to me
someday you will agree
please believe me

You thrill me, you delight me
you please me, you excite me
you’re something I’d been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I’ve laid my life before you
I’ll have you want me more and more
and finally it seems
my lonely days are through
I’ve been waiting for you
oh, I’ve been waiting for you

Lyrics: I Wonder (departure) - Abba

Category: , , , , ,


Abba
i wonder (departure)
This park and these houses, old streets i have walked
everything dear, will it be here
one day when i am returning?
my friends will get married, have children and homes
it sounds so nice, well-planned and wise
never expecting surprises
I wonder, it's frightening
leaving now, is that the right thing?
i wonder, it scares me
but who the hell am i if i don't leave it
i'm not a coward
oh no, i'll be strong
one chance in a lifetime
yes i will take it, it can't go wrong
My friends and my family, this dull little town
buses i've missed, boys that i've kissed
everything old and familiar
I wonder, it's frightening
leaving now, is that the right thing?
i wonder, it scares me
but who the hell am i if i don't leave it
i'm not a coward
oh no, i'll be strong
one chance in a lifetime
yes i will take it...
yes i will take it, it can't go wrong

Lyrics: I Saw It In The Mirror - Abba

Björn
i saw it in the mirror
i saw it in my face
that i'm no longer needed
anyone can take my place
i saw it in the mirror
when i looked into my eyes
'cause something sure is wrong
when this boy cries
agnetha, frida
this boy cries
Björn
i saw it in the mirror
my head is hanging low
and it ain't too familiar
with the feelings that i show
i know you say you love me
but i'm looking through your lies
it doesn't really bother you
if this boy cries
Agnetha, frida
this boy cries
Agnetha, frida, björn
i never thought i could cry for you
but honey, i will miss you
'til the day i die
'til the day i die
Björn
i saw it in the mirror
i saw it in my face
that i'm no longer needed
anyone can take my place
i saw it in the mirror
when i looked into my eyes
'cause something sure is wrong
when this boy cries
Agnetha, frida
this boy cries
this boy cries

Lyrics: I Let The Music Speak - Abba

Category: , , , ,


Frida i'm hearing images, i'm seeing songs
no poet has ever painted
voices call out to me, straight to my heart
so strange, yet we're so well acquainted
i let the music speak with no restrains
i let my feelings take over
carry my soul away, into the world
where beauty meets the darkness of the day
where my mind is like an open window
where the high and healing winds blow
from my shallow sleep the sounds awake me
i let them take me
agnetha, frida let it be a joke, let it be a smile
let it be a farce, if it makes me laugh for a little while
let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
frida some streets are emptiness, dry leaves of autumn
rustling down an old alley
and in the dead of night, i find myself a blind man
in some ancient valley
i let the music speak, leading me gently
urging me like a lover
leading me all the way, into a place
where beauty will defeat the darkest day
where i'm one with every grand illusion
no disturbance, no intrusion
where i let the wistful sounds seduce me
i let them use me
agnetha, frida let it be a joke, let it be a smile
let it be a farce, if it makes me laugh for a little while
let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
let it be a tear, let it be a sigh
coming from a heart, speaking to a heart, let it be a cry
let it be the joy of each new sunrise
or the moment when a day dies
i surrender without reservation
no explanation, no questions why
i take it to me and let it flow through me
yes, i let the music speak
i let the music speak

Lyrics: I Have A Dream - Abba

Category: , , , ,


I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Lyrics: I Am The City - Abba

Category: , , , ,


I am the city
Coming through a cloud you're looking at me from above
and i'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
and you find me beautiful and irresistible
a giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
and you feel a strange attraction
the air is vibrant and electrified
welcome to me here i am my arms are open wide
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
there is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
and a million voices blend into a single voice
and you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
people come and take their chances
sometimes you win sometimes you lose a lot
come make your own contribution to this melting pot
I'm the street you walk
the language you talk
i am the city
the skyline is me and the energy
i am the city
the famous hotels and the cocktail bars
and the funny smells
and the turmoil the cars and the people
the air that you're breathing is me
yes i am the city you let me be
People feed me with their lives i am a hungry soul
and they all worship me and pay their homage day and night
every day i knew a lot of tired shopping feet
but come the night they will be dancing in the neon light
dazzled by the crazy magic
they're grabbing pieces of the fatted calf
and in the wind if you listen hard you'll hear me laugh
I'm the street you walk
the language you talk
i am the city
the skyline is me and the energy
i am the city
the famous hotels and the cocktail bars
and the funny smells
and the turmoil the cars and the people
the parks and the squares that you see
all the sounds that you hear
and the air that you're breathing is me
yes i am the city you let me be
I am the city
you let me be
i am the city
The famous hotels and the cocktail bars
and the funny smells
and the turmoil the cars and the people
the air that you're breathing is me

coming through a cloud
you're looking at me from above
and i'm a revelation spreading out before your eyes
I'm the street you walk
the language you talk
i am the city
yes i am the city you let me be
And you find me beautiful and irresistible
a giant creature that forever seems to grow in size
The skyline is me and the energy
i am the city
you let me be
Somewhere in the middle of the neverending noise
there is a constant steady rhythm of a heart that beats
I'm the street you walk
the language you talk
i am the city
yes i am the city you let me be
And a million voices blend into a single voice
and you can hear it in the clamour of the crowded streets
The skyline is me and the energy
i am the city
you let me be

Lyrics: I Am Just A Girl - Abba

Category: , , , ,


Agnetha, frida: i am just a girl
one among the others, nothing much to say
plain and simple girl
not a special type in any way
just one look and you will surely see
that the true miss nobody is me
it's an evil world
that has only made me a girl
i am just a girl
not the kind of woman men would like to meet
just another girl
no one ever looks at in the street
but today i can't believe it's true
when you smiled and whispered, i love you
darling i could see
i was meant to be your girl
it's a funny feeling when you get to love someone
and thinking that he'll never look your way
but then he says he loves you and life has just begun
it's so much more than any words can say
i am just a girl
not the kind of woman men would like to meet
just another girl
no one ever looks at in the street
but today i can't believe it's true
when you smiled and whispered, i love you
darling i could see
i was meant to be your girl
la, la, la, la la ......
but today i can't believe it's true
when you smiled and whispered, i love you
darling i could see
i was meant to be your girl

Lyrics: I am a marionette - Abba

Category: , , , ,


"You're so free", that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall

Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

"Look this way, just a little smile", is what they say
"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

"You're so free", that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee

Lyrics: Hovas Vittne - Abba

Category: , , , ,


Från hova kom
Det en bonnläpp det svängde om
Släpa och slet och snodde
Och sen så småningom
På dur och moll
Blev han rikare än ett troll
Nu är hans dagar fyllda
Utav tunga beslut
Lukas ska ut
Backen ska saltas
Korven ska kokas
Lukas ska ut

Hovas vittne knallarnas röst
Västergötlands stämma på jorden
Sångarhjärta klappar i ditt bröst
Pennan glöder, upp flyga orden
Raska klackar slå ännu
Som ett jehu är du
Hovas vittne ger aldrig upp
Hovas vittne
Full fart framåt flaggan i topp

Hos dig på fest
När man sitter och trivs som mest
Hör man någonting som surrar
En dammsugareprotest
Från den parnasse
Tar du flyget i första klass
Djurgården honolulu
Om du kommer fram
Enligt program
Med ditt bagage i rom
Och gudrun i amsterdam

Hovas vittne knallarnas röst
Västergötlands stämma på jorden
Sångarhjärta klappar i ditt bröst
Pennan glöder, upp flyga orden
Raska klackar slå ännu
Som ett jehu är du
Vi och du är långhalm och ler
Full fart bakåt
Hovas vittne, vad som än sker

Stikke-stikkan
Det är befogat denna gång
Trots att du tycker att låten
Blir för lång
Stikke-stikkan
Det har vi skrivit i den tron
Att du blir glad om vi höjer
En halv ton

Hovas vittne knallarnas röst
Västergötlands stämma på jorden
Sångarhjärta klappar i ditt bröst
Pennan glöder, upp flyga orden
Raska klackar slå ännu
Som ett jehu är du
Hovas vittne ger aldrig upp
Hovas vittne
Full fart framåt flaggan i topp

Hurra!

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey

I don't wanna hurt you, baby, i don't wanna see you cry
so stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high

there's no other place in this world where i rather would be
Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey

Agnetha, frida: you feel bad, let me tell you

So at last you're free
it's the way you wanted it to be
and the price you paid
to become a woman of today
is it worth the pain to see the children cry
does it hurt when they ask for daddy
Hey hey helen
now you live on your own
hey hey helen
can you make it alone
(yes you can)
So you're free at last
and beginning to forget the past
does it make you sad
when you think about the life you ha-ha-had
but you're right, you had to take a second chance
so you fight to find your freedom
Hey hey helen
now you live on your own
hey hey helen
can you make it alone
hey hey helen (hey hey helen)
what's the matter with you
hey hey helen (hey hey helen)
don't you know what to do
(yes you do)
(ahah, yes you do yes you do)
(ahah, yes you do yes you do)
Hey hey helen
now you live on your own
hey hey helen
can you make it alone
hey hey helen (hey hey helen)

Benny: i was a fighter, always looking for trouble
and my life was so empty, there was nothing to live for
but then it happened one night
as i got into a fight
i could hear someone saying
as though he was praying
agnetha, frida, björn, benny: ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend one one another
love him, that's the only way
on the road
that we're going
we all need
words of comfort and compassion
treat him well, he is your brother
love him, that's the only way
frida: i was a woman, never thinking of others
and my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
but then i happened to meet
a begging man in the street
as i turned down his praying
i heard someone saying
agnetha, frida, björn, benny: ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend one one another
love him, that's the only way

treat him well, he is your brother
love him, that's the only way
treat him well, he is your brother

we depend one one another
love him, that's the only way

Lyrics: Hello Old Man - Abba

Category: , , , ,

He stands on the market every day
A friendly old man
His hair is just a little grey
Below his hat's red band
With shiny buttons on his coat
And a cash-box in his hand
He seems to know quite well
What we are asking for sometimes

Hello old man
Can you show us the way we have to go?
So we can reach where we're wanting to
Hello old man
Maybe it's folk like us that get things wrong sometimes
You have got all the things we find hard to get

Although he seems quite tired sometimes
Out there, he'll always be
To light a way for someone
Who could not otherwise see
But although he has been standing there
For many years, each day
It seems as if he had just arrived yesterday

Hello old man
Can you show us the way we have to go?
So we can reach where we're wanting to
Hello old man
Maybe it's folk like us that get things wrong sometimes
You have got all the things we find hard to get

Björn han står på torget varje dag
en vänlig gammal man
hans hår är lite grånat
under mössans röda band
med blanka knappor i sin rock
och bössan i sin hand
han vet nog ganska väl
vad vi vill fråga om ibland
hej gamle man
kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska gå
för at få komma dit som vi vill nå
hej gamle man
kanske är det vi som gör något fel ändå
du har ju allt som vi har svårt att få
han verkar kanske trött ibland
vem skulle väl rå med
att lysa upp en väg för någon
som aldrig kunnat se
men trots att han har stott där nu
i alla dessa år
så verkar det på honom som har kommit dit igår
hej gamle man
kan du visa oss den väg som vi ska gå
för at få komma dit som vi vill nå
hej gamle man
kanske är det vi som gör något fel ändå
du har ju allt som vi har svårt att få

Lyrics: Head Over Heels - Abba

Category: , , , ,


I have a very good friend
the kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
she has a personal style
some people love it others tend to go wild
you hear her voice everywhere
taking the chair
she's a leading lady
and with no trace of hesitaition she keeps going
Head over heels
breaking her way
pushing through unknown junlges every day
she's a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace
running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
she's extreme if you know what i mean
Her man is one i admire
he's so courageous but he's constatly tired
each time that he speaks his mind
she pats his head and says that's all very fine
exert that will of your own
when we're alone
now we better hurry
and with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
breaking her way
pushing through unknown jungles every day
she's a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace
running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
she's extreme if you know what i mean
You hear her voice everywhere
taking the chair
she's a leading lady
and with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Head over heels
breaking her way
pushing through unknown jungles every day
she's a girl with a taste for the world
(the world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
head over heels
setting the pace
running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
she's extreme if you know what i mean
(she's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
and she goes
head over heels

Lyrics: He Is Your Brother - Abba

Category: , , , ,


Benny i was a fighter, always looking for trouble
and my life was so empty, there was nothing to live for
but then it happened one night
as i got into a fight
i could hear someone saying
as though he was praying
agnetha, frida, björn, benny ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend one one another
love him, that's the only way
on the road
that we're going
we all need
words of comfort and compassion
treat him well, he is your brother
love him, that's the only way
frida i was a woman, never thinking of others
and my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
but then i happened to meet
a begging man in the street
as i turned down his praying
i heard someone saying
agnetha, frida, björn, benny ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend one one another
love him, that's the only way
on the road
that we're going
we all need
words of comfort and compassion
treat him well, he is your brother
love him, that's the only way
treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend one one another
love him, that's the only way
treat him well, he is your brother
you might need his help one day
we depend one one another
love him, that's the only way

Lyrics: Happy New Year - Abba

Category: , , , ,


No more champagne
and the fireworks are through
here we are, me and you
feeling lost and feeling blue
it's the end of the party
and the morning seems so grey
so unlike yesterday
now's the time for us to say
Happy new year
happy new year
may we all have a vision now and then
of a world where every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we all have our hopes, our will to try
if we don't we might as well lay down and die
you and i
Sometimes i see
how the brave new world arrives
and i see how it thrives
in the ashes of our lives
oh yes, man is a fool
and he thinks he'll be okay
dragging on, feet of clay
never knowing he's astray
keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year
happy new year
may we all have a vision now and then
of a world where every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we all have our hopes, our will to try
if we don't we might as well lay down and die
you and i
Seems to me now
that the dreams we had before
are all dead, nothing more
than confetti on the floor
it's the end of a decade
in another ten years time
who can say what we'll find
what lies waiting down the line
in the end of eighty-nine
Happy new year
happy new year
may we all have a vision now and then
of a world where every neighbour is a friend
happy new year
happy new year
may we all have our hopes, our will to try
if we don't we might as well lay down and die
you and i

Lyrics: Happy Hawaii - Abba

Agnetha, frida early this morning i drove in the rain
out to the airport to get on the plain
hey honolulu, i'm going to happy hawaii
alice has been there, she said it was fun
swimming and surfing, enjoying the sun
hey honolulu, i'm going to happy hawaii
after all i had to go through, i'm making no plans
but i, but i believe love gives me a second chance
guess i've been working a little to hard
need a vacation, i'll send you a card
from honolulu, a greeting from happy hawaii
it's so exciting, why should i pretend
in a few hours the plane will descend
hey honolulu, i'm going to happy hawaii
i can imagine the beach and the sand
walking with someone and holding his hand
hey honolulu, i'm going to happy hawaii
after all i had to go through, i'm making no plans
but i, but i believe love gives me a second chance
i've got a feeling, the dream will come true
someone is waiting and i forget you
hey honolulu, i'm going to happy hawaii

Part 1

(instrumental)

Part 2

When the autumn leaves are falling to the ground
when the air gets cold then I think of us
of you and I
and it almost makes me cry
so sad and kind of bitter sweet
and the memories filled with tears
and I feel my heart will break
guess it all was my mistake

Autumn’s chilly winds were blowing through the trees
the rain fell softly on your face
oh I remember every little thing about that day
I remember every place
grey skies, you were laughing at the clouds
the rain fell softly on your face
the memories of our time together cannot be replaced
I never loved you more than on those happy autumn days

Lyrics: Givin’ A Little Bit More - Abba

There’s a gentleness to everything you do
and it’s rubbing off on me I feel it too
I’ve been waiting but my loneliness I get
when you call me on the phone
and I’m feeling so alone
when you ask me to come over
baby you know I will
I could never stay on my own

Givin’ it all I got to give
I’ve never done that before
I’m always givin’ a little more
when I’m with you

Half past twelf,
And I'm watching the late show
In my flat all alone,
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds,
Blowin' outside my window
As I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

There is not a soul out there,
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight,
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight,
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day

Movie stars,
Find the end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win,
It's so different from the world
I'm linvin' in Tired of TV,
I open the window
And I gaze into the night,
But there's nothing to see
No-one in sight

There is not a soul out there,
No-one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight,
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight,
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the dayThere is not a soul out there,
No-one to hear my prayer

Lyrics: Free As A Bumble Bee - Abba

Category: , , , ,


I’m down and I feel depressed
sitting here just waiting
for next bus travelling downtown
it’s a crying shame
isn’t it the beautiful weather
if I could have my way
well, I would not be working
on a day like this I know what I’d like to be

As free as a bumble bee
take a sip from every flower
free as a bumble bee
while away each lazy hour
what a good life
lying laid back
like an old railroad bum by the track
what a good life
living outdoors
lie in the grass and chew on a straw

Lyrics: Fernando - Abba

Category: , , , ,


Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar


They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry


There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando


Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land


There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando


There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...

Lyrics: Every Good Man - Abba

Category: , , , ,


Every good man needs a helping hand
so I travel alone if I can
Every man has a guiding star
and he knows what he's gonna get
when he's going too far

Living on the dark side once again
It's sad to lose a friend
Looking at things with empty feelings
Still we're going on

For Every good man needs a helping hand
I should have known too
Some of us learn too late, I'm sorry
Every good man needs a helping hand
It's true

Every good man needs a helping hand
so I travel alone if I can
Every man has a guiding star
and he knows
what he's gonna get
when he's going too far

Living on the dark side once again
It's sad to lose a friend
Looking at things with empty feelings
Still we're going on

For Every good man needs a helping hand
I should have known too
Some of us learn too late, I'm sorry
Every good man needs a helping hand
It's true

Agnetha, frida: you hate, you scream, you swear
and still you never reach them
you curse, you try to scare
but you can never teach them
it's a dead end street
they've tied your hands and tied your feet
and the street is narrow
a nowhere lane, a nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
elaine, elaine, elaine, you know they're gonna get you
you try to break away, but they will never let you
it's a dead end street
they've tied your hands and tied your feet
and the street is narrow
the nowhere lane, the nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
you're like a goldfish in a bowl, elaine, elaine, elaine
they have your mind, they'll take your soul
you come, you stay, you go, it really doesn't matter
you've done it all before, by now they know the pattern
it's a dead end street
they've tied your hands and tied your feet
and the street is narrow
the nowhere lane, the nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
you're like a goldfish in a bowl, elaine, elaine, elaine
they have your mind, they'll take your soul
björn know that you go, you know they're gonna get you
know that you go, you know they'll never let you
agnetha, frida it's a dead end street
they've tied your hands and tied your feet
and the street is narrow
the nowhere lane, the nowhere train for elaine, elaine, elaine
you're like a goldfish in a bowl, elaine, elaine, elaine
they have your mind, they'll take your soul
björn know that you go, you know they're gonna get you
know that you go, you know they'll never let you
know that you go, you know they're gonna get you

Lyrics: Eagle - Abba

Category: , , , ,


They came flying from far away, now i'm under their spell
i love hearing the stories that they tell
they've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons
they speak strangely but i understand
And i dream i'm an eagle
and i dream i can spread my wings
flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky
i'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
high, high, what a feeling to fly
over mountains and forests and seas
and to go anywhere that i please
As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing
i have questions and they know everything
there's no limit to what i feel, we climb higher and higher
am i dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true i'm an eagle?
is it true i can spread my wings?
flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky
(i'm an eagle)
i'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
high, high, what a feeling to fly
(what a feeling)
over mountains and forests and seas
and to go anywhere that i please
And i dream i'm an eagle
and i dream i can spread my wings
flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky
(i'm an eagle)
i'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
high, high, what a feeling to fly
(what a feeling)
over mountains and forests and seas
flying high, high, i'm a bird in the sky
(i'm an eagle)
i'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
high, high, what a feeling to fly
(what a feeling)
over mountains and forests and seas
and to go anywhere that i please

Frida i can hear how you work, practising hard
playing night and day, wo-oh
and it sounds better now, yes you improve
everytime you play, wo-oh
but it's bad
you're so sad
and you're only smiling
when you play your violin
agnetha, frida dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
to be so near you and not just hear you
dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
i think then maybe you'd see me, baby
you'd be mine
and we'd be together all the time
wish i was dum dum diddle, your darling fiddle
frida but i think, you don't know that i exist
i'm the quiet kind, wo-oh
from the day when i first listened to you
you've been on my mind, wo-oh
you don't care
it's not fair
and you're only smiling
when you play your violin
agnetha, frida dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
to be so near you and not just hear you
dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
i think then maybe you'd see me, baby
you'd be mine
and we'd be together all the time
dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
to be so near you and not just hear you
dum dum diddle, to be your fiddle
i think then maybe you'd see me, baby
you'd be mine

Agnetha we're not the stars of a hollywood movie
so what's the use to pretend
i'm not so charming and you're not so groovy
you've got to face it my friend
agnetha, frida dreamworld, you've been living in a dreamworld
trust me, you just can't escape from reality
boy meets girl, doesn't mean they're in a dreamworld
here i am, here you are,
we're gonna make it together
and within, it's a fuss
so we can only get better
agnetha when you reach up and you say to me
how i love you, girl
when i hold you, baby, can't you see
that's the way we whirl
you had your hopes and your high expectations
somehow it doesn't seem right
i'm getting fed-up with your acquisitions
i'm not your angel in white
agnetha, frida dreamworld, you've been living in a dreamworld
trust me, you just can't escape from reality
boy meets girl, doesn't mean they're in a dreamworld
here i am, here you are,
we're gonna make it together
and within, it's a fuss
so we can only get better
agnetha when you reach up and you say to me
how i love you, girl
when i hold you, baby, can't you see

trust me, you just can't escape from reality

Lyrics: Does Your Mother Know - Abba

Category: , , , ,

You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue but I can't take a chance on a chick like you
That's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild
Ah, but girl you're only a child


Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?


Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?


I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young to be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute, I like your style
And I know what you mean when you give me a flash of that smile (smile)
But girl you're only a child


Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?


Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?


Well I can dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I can chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
