I wasn't jealous before we met

Now every woman
I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying
that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
has overturned
I beg of you
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go wasting…
Don't go wasting…
Don't go wasting…
Don't go wasting…

a sense of expectation
hanging in the air.
Giving out a spark,
across the room your eyes are
glowing in the dark.
And here we go again,

masters of the scene.
We've done it all before
and now you're back

Napoleon did surrender.
Oh yeah,
and I have met my destiny
in quite a similar way.
The history book on the shelf,
is always repeating itself.
Waterloo - I was defeated,
you won the war,
Waterloo - promise to love
you forever more.
Waterloo - Couldn't escape
if I wanted to,
Waterloo - knowing my fate
is to be with you,
Wow, wow, wow, wow,
Waterloo - finally facing
my Waterloo.
Waterloo…

You should be dancing, yeah...

I work all night, I work all day,
to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be
a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all,
I'd fool around and have a ball
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
Money, money, money…

ABBA
Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…
They passed me by,
all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me
of my rightful chances
My picture clear,
everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different,
I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was
somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself,
feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
One of us is crying…

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm,
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin'
And everybody shakin',
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Well, now, I get low and I get high,
And if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother...
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' alive. (x3)
Whether you're a brother…

Ah, ah, ah, ah…

Ah… But tell me does she kiss
I know your eyes in the morning sun I don't wanna talk Like I used to kiss you?
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain About things Does it feel the same
And the moment that you wander far from me we've gone through When she calls your name?
I wanna feel you in my arms again Though it's hurting me
Now it's history Somewhere deep inside
And you come to me on a summer breeze You must know I miss you
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave I've played all my cards But what can I say
And it's me you need to show And that's what you've done too Rules must be obeyed
How deep is your love Nothing more to say
No more ace to play The judges will decide
How deep is your love, The likes of me abide
How deep is your love The winner takes it all Spectators of the show
I really mean to learn The loser standing small Always staying low
'Cause we're living in a world of fools Beside the victory
Breaking us down That's her destiny The game is on again
When they all should let us be A lover or a friend
We belong to you and me I was in your arms A big thing or a small
Thinking I belonged there The winner takes it all
I believe in you I figured it made sense
You know the door to my very soul Building me a fence
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour I don't wanna talk
You're my saviour when I fall Building me a home If it makes you feel sad
And you may not think Thinking I'd be strong there And I understand
I care for you But I was a fool You've come to shake my hand
When you know down inside Playing by the rules I apologize
That I really do If it makes you feel bad
And it's me you need to show The gods may throw a dice Seeing me so tense
How deep is your love Their minds as cold as ice No self-confidence
And someone way down here
How deep is your love… Loses someone dear But you see
The winner takes it all
And you come to… The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
How deep is your love… It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.

Listen to the ground:
there is movement all around.
There is something goin' down
and I can feel it.
On the waves of the air,
there is dancin' out there.
If it's somethin' we can share,
we can steal it.
And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin' is bright,
The night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme the night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.
Here I am,
prayin' for this moment to last,
livin' on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
makin' it mine.
The night…
And that sweet city woman…
The night…
Here I am…
Night fever, night fever…

Oh, girl I've known you very well
I've seen you growing everyday
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away
Suddenly you're in my life
Part of everything I do
You got me working day and night
Just trying to keep a hold on you
Here in your arms I found my paradise
My only chance for happiness
And if I lose you now I think I would die
Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
Oh, girl I've known you very well
I've seen you growing everyday
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away
Suddenly you're in my life
Part of everything I do
You got me working day and night
Just trying to keep a hold on you
Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly I feel all right
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Tonight the…
So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the…

I was a midnight rider Yo por ti me engañé,

on a cloud of smoke hace tiempo lo sé
I could make a woman hang Y ya lo decidí,
on every single stroke ahora te dejaré
I was an iron man Mírame bien,
I had a master plan cuando aprenderé I've been cheated by you
But I was alone No sé porque, since I don't know when
vivo tanto esta gran pasión So I made up my mind,
I could hear you breathing Que me quema el corazón it must come to an end
With a sigh of the wind Look at me now,
I remember how your body Si me miras will I ever learn?
started trembling siento tanto placer I don't know how
Oh, what's a night it's been Si te acercas but I suddenly lose control
And for the state I'm in creo desvanecer, ohh There's a fire within my soul
I'm still alone Just one look
Mamma mía, and I can hear a bell ring
And all the wonders made for the Earth una otra vez One more
And all the hearts in all creation No sé, cómo resistirte look and
Somehow I always end up alone I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh
Always end up alone Mamma mía,
quiero y tú lo ves Mamma mia,
And all the wonders made for the No sé, cómo evadirte here I go again
Earth My my,
And all the hearts in all creation Tú que me has provocado, how can I resist you?
Somehow I always end up alone luego me has rechazado Mamma mia,
(Always end up alone) Por qué te sigo queriendo así does it show again?
Always end up alone My my, just how much
Mamma mía, I've missed you
So I play (sha-la) I'll wait (I'll wait) ya lo decidí
'Cause you know that love takes time Porque Yes, I've been brokenhearted
(Livin' love between the lines) no puedo vivir sin ti Blue since the day we parted
We came (sha-la) so far (so far) Why, why
Just the beat of a lonely heart did I ever let you go?
And it's mine Mamma mia,
now I really know
My my,
I could never let you go

I'm nothing special, So I say... Yo lo soñé

in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke,
you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent,
a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens
when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music,
the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the
joy they're bringing
Who can live without it,
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song
or a dance what are we?
So I say
thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was
a dancer before I could walk
She says I began
to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered,
how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
Y el corazón
I've been so lucky, Me hablo de amor
I am the girl with golden hair Con emoción
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, Si vives la magia
what a chance! De hadas que hacen bien
Veras que el futuro
ABBA
Thank you for the music, Sonríe también
the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the Creo en angelitos
joy they're bringing Que me cuidan El teléfono está allí
Who can live without it, siempre de caer Y no suena para mí
I ask in all honesty Creo en angelitos Pienso: "qué pasó
What would life be? Que la vida linda Y donde estarás que no llamas?"
Without a song me hacen ver
or a dance what are we? Es la noche triste y gris
So I say Y llegare No me siento muy feliz.
thank you for the music Yo lo soñé Y, mi amor, ¿qué hago?
For giving it to me Yo estoy aquí esperando
Yo lo soñé Que me llames y por fin
So I say No fue ilusión Cambie el mundo para mí
thank you for the music Y me ayudo Oh...
For giving it to me En mi aflicción
Ring ring
Y la fantasía llámame al fin, por favor
A la oscuridad Ring ring
La transforma en día es la más bella canción
En una verdad Ring ring
la guardo con emoción
Creo en angelitos... Y estoy junto al teléfono
Sin moverme estoy mirándolo
Oh…Ring ring
Y llegare llámame al fin, por favor
Yo lo soñé Oh…Ring ring
llámame al fin, por favor

Donde quedó el verano No más champagne
La bengala se apagó
Aquel que nos unió
Donde se fue, yo no lo sé Solo tú, sola yo
Si aun mi amor El festejo ya pasó
sigue por ti viviendo
Es el fin de la fiesta
Hasta mañana Y hay un gris amanecer
te sabre esperar Dónde está ese ayer
Dime tu, el lugar Que debemos proponer
Es que la fuerza
de un amor así Felicidad, felicidad
Sabe triunfar siempre a Al brindar les deseamos
de ahora en más
pesar de todo
Paz, amor en donde
Hasta mañana reine la amistad
te sabre esperar
Felicidad, felicidad
Junto a ti quiero estar
Escríbeme, Al rogar esperanzas
y te lo explico de cambiar
Sin dejar al desaliento
Perdóname,
te lo suplico Dominar, Y (así) triunfar
Hasta mañana dime Y cuando veo
Hasta mañana mi amor ese mundo que vendrá
Nuevo al fin
Donde quedo nuestro sueño llenará de cenizas y surgirá
Aquel que se escapó
Donde se fue, yo no lo sé Gente equivocada
Si aun mi amor que pretende estar muy bien
sigue por ti viviendo Se los ve arrastrar
pies de barro y caminar
Hasta mañana... Sin saber por dónde andar
Felicidad, felicidad...

Puedes escuchar Fernando,
me recuerda tiempo atrás
estrellas y una noche allá
En la lumbre azul Fernando
tarareabas tu canción
con ese suave guitarrear
Yo podía escuchar esos tambores
con un sordo redoblar
Algo había alrededor quizá
de claridad Fernando
Que brillaba por nosotros dos
en protección Fernando
No pensábamos jamás perder
ni echar atrás
Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya Fernando
Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya Fernando

Soy muy sencilla
y algo aburrida tal vez
Las bromas que sé,
me salen seguro al revés
Pero hay un talento,
en mí singular
Y es que la gente
me escucha al cantar
Y me hace feliz, orgullosa
lo puedo anunciar, por eso
13
Quiero dar las gracias
a las canciones
Que transmiten emociones
Quiero dar las gracias
por lo que me hacen sentir,
debo admitir
Que con la música vale vivir
Por eso quiero dar las gracias
por este don en mí
Todos decían
que fui una niña precoz
Bailé y canté
y sobresalí por mi voz
Y hoy me pregunto
cuál es la razón
Por qué siempre gana
la gran atención
Una simple canción
si se hace con el corazón, por eso
Quiero dar las gracias …
Que suerte tuve
Soy tan dichosa al cantar
Quiero que todos disfrutemos
juntos
Que feliz, que placer, exclamar

El reloj ya marcó medianoche
y otra vez te encontré
que tan sólo me acompaña la T.V.
El soplar y del viento afuera,
vive la desolación,
me oprime con angustia el corazón
No hay más que soledad.
Nadie ni por piedad
Dame, dame, dame,
amor esta noche
Alguien que me ayude
a las sombras borrar
Dame, dame, dame,
amor esta noche
Hasta que amanezca
y ver el día aclarar
Tantos hay
con gran suerte y fortuna
todo pueden conseguir
Tan distinto a lo
que tengo que vivir
Aburrida
me encuentro esta noche
y la gran oscuridad
es mi siempre obligada amistad
No hay más que soledad.
Nadie ni por piedad
Dame, dame...
Dame, dame, dame,
amor esta noche...

Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show
in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend
the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window
as I look around the room
And it makes me so
depressed to see the gloom
There's 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
Half past twelve...
There's not a soul...
Gimme, gimme…
Gimme, gimme, gimme
a man after midnight...
Gimme, gimme, gimme
a man after midnight...

Chiquitita, dime porqué
tu dolor hoy te encadena.
En tus ojos hay
una sombra de gran pena
No quisiera verte así,
aunque quieras disimularlo. Ya no hay más sonrisa
Si es que tan triste estás,
para qué quieres callarlo. Todo finaliza
Nuestra casa hoy vacía
Chiquitita, dímelo tú, me hace llorar
en mi hombro aquí llorando. Y la historia aquí termina
Cuenta conmigo ya, Hay que olvidar
para así seguir hablando.
Solo tú y sola yo (Ajáaa...)
Tan segura te conocí, Poco y nada se logró
y ahora tu ala quebrada. Solo tú y sola yo (Ajáaa...)
Déjamela arreglar, Nuestro amor
yo la quiero ver curada. quién puede negar
Pasó
Chiquitita sabes muy bien Separarse es tan difícil
que las penan vienen Lo sé
y van y desaparecen. Pero yo me iré
Otra vez vas a bailar, Conociéndome a mí,
y serás feliz, conociéndote a ti
como flores que florecen.
Bueno (bueno),
Chiquitita, no hay que llorar, malo (malo),
las estrellas brillan tanto (tanto)
por ti allá en lo alto. Guardo (guardo)
Quiero verte sonreír, risas (risas),
para compartir, llanto (llanto),
tu alegría, chiquitita. En los cuartos donde vimos
niños jugar
Otra vez quiero compartir Hoy hay sólo un gran silencio
tu alegría, chiquitita... en el lugar
Solo tú y sola yo...
