Voulez-Vous

Reseña

El sexto álbum de estudio de ABBA es el titulado "Voulez-Vous", lanzado el 23 de abril de 1979 y que supuso la irrupción del grupo en la música disco, incluyendo temas como "Chiquitita", "Does Your Mother Know" y "I Have a Dream".

El álbum encabezó las principales listas en varios países y se convirtió en uno de los cinco álbumes más vendidos en el Reino Unido en ese año. Fue el primero del grupo grabado en Polar Studios de Estocolmo, el estudio de grabación creado por ABBA y que incorporaba las más modernas tecnologías.

Tras su anterior lanzamiento, la banda se encerró en el estudio para componer nuevos temas. Tras unas primeras grabaciones decepcionantes y que terminaron descartándose, en septiembre de 1978 lanzaron un sencillo titulado "Summer Night City", un estrepitoso fracaso que no alcanzó ni a entrar en las listas.

Inmersos en una etapa de vacas flacas en el aspecto creativo, las tensiones no tardaron en aparecer en el cuarteto. A finales de 1978, el matrimonio entre Ulvaeus y Faltskog saltó por los aires, saliendo a la luz su intención de divorciarse. Esta separación, liberó parte de las tensiones en el seno del grupo, despertando nuevamente la inspiración en las sesiones de trabajo.

Como resultado, Benny Andersson y Björn Ulvaeus terminaron dos temas nuevos, "Angeleyes" y "If It Wasn't for the Nights", el primer tema con el que se acercaban a la música disco de moda en la época y que en un principio iba a ser el tema principal del nuevo álbum de ABBA. Sin embargo, cuando rumiaban la promoción del sencillo, apareció una nueva composición, una canción titulada "Chiquitita", que fue considera por Anderson como la mejor que habían creado hasta entonces, a pesar de que no cuadraba con el estilo del resto de temas que manejaban en el estudio.

Lanzada el 16 de enero de 1979 como primer sencillo del álbum "Voulez-Vous", interpretada en inglés por la voz de Agnetha Fältskog, pronto se convirtió en un tremendo éxito en todo el mundo. El grupo interpretó el tema en un acto benéfico en favor de UNICEF retransmitido para todo el mundo desde la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas, con motivo de la celebración del Año Internacional del Niño. ABBA contribuyó a la causa donando a UNICEF la mitad de los derechos de la canción.

"Chiquitita" alcanzó el primer puesto en las listas de países como España, Bélgica, Irlanda, Finlandia, Irlanda, Países Bajos y México, entre otros muchos y llegó al segundo puesto en Reino Unido, Suecia o Alemania. La versión en español de la canción ayudó a popularizar aún más este tema en los países de habla hispana.

La canción "Voulez-Vous" se lanzó como segundo sencillo en julio de 1979. Escrita y compuesta por Benny Andersson y Björn Ulvaeus e interpretada a dúo por Agnetha Fältskog y Anni-Frid Lyngstad, surgió tras un viaje a Bahamas. Grabada en los estudios Criteria Studios de Miami, es el único tema de ABBA que se grabó fuera de Suecia.

    letra de As Good As New

    I'll never know why I had to go
    Why I had to put up such a lousy rotten show
    Boy, I was tough, packing all my stuff
    Saying I don't need you anymore, I've had enough
    And now, look at me standing here again 'cause I found out that
    Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here
    Gotta have you near
    As good as new, my love for you
    And keeping it that way is my intention
    As good as new and growing too
    Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
    It's as good as new, my love for you
    Just like it used to be and even better
    As good as new, thank God it's true
    Darling, we were always meant to stay together
    Feel like a creep, never felt so cheap
    Never had a notion that my love could be so deep
    How could I make such a dumb mistake
    Now I know I'm not entitled to another break
    But please, baby, I beg you to forgive 'cause I found out that
    Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma my life is here
    Gotta get you near
    I thought that our love was at an end but here I am again
    As good as new, my love for you
    And keeping it that way is my intention
    As good as new and growing too
    Yes, I think it's taking on a new dimension
    It's as good as new, my love for you
    Just like it used to be and even better
    As good as new, thank God it's true
    Darling, we were always meant to stay together
    Yes the love I have for you feels as good as new
    Darling, we were always meant to stay together

    People everywhere
    A sense of expectation hangin' in the air

    I know what you think
    The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink
    Lookin' mighty proud
    I see you leave your table, pushin' through the crowd
    I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
    Master of the scene
    We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more

    letra de 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 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

    letra de Angeleyes

    Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
    Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
    I keep thinking, a-aaah
    Last night I was taking a walk along the river
    And I saw him together with a young girl
    And the look that he gave her made me shiver
    'Cause he always used to look at me that way
    Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say
    Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play
    Look into his angeleyes
    One look and you're hypnotized
    He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
    Look into his angeleyes
    You'll think you're in paradise
    And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
    Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
    Oh no no no no
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
    Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
    I keep thinking, a-aaah
    Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him
    And it hurts to remember all the good times
    When I thought I could never live without him
    And I wonder does it have to be the same
    Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain?
    Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?
    Look into his angeleyes
    One look and you're hypnotized
    He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
    Look into his angeleyes
    You'll think you're in paradise
    And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
    Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
    Crazy 'bout his angeleyes
    Angeleyes
    He took my heart and now I pay the price
    Look into his angeleyes
    You'll think you're in paradise
    Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
    Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
    Oh no no no no
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
    Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
    Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
    Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
    Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
    Keep thinking, I had to pay the price

    letra de The King Has Lost His Crown

    I believe your new girl turned you down
    And they say she's pushin' you around
    How does it feel, I guess it hurts your pride
    Tell me my friend how many nights you've cried
    Disaster and disgrace
    The king has lost his crown
    Suddenly
    He's clumsy like a clown
    The world is upside down
    The king has lost his crown
    Was it hard to step down from your throne
    And to know tonight you're all alone
    Oh what a shame, you really want that girl
    She doesn't care, still you just dream of her
    Disaster and disgrace
    The king has lost his crown
    Suddenly
    He's clumsy like a clown
    The world is upside down
    The king has lost his crown
    Disaster and disgrace
    The word is all around
    Suddenly
    He's clumsy like a clown
    The world is upside down
    The king has lost his crown

    letra de Does Your Mother Know

    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?

    letra de Chiquitita

    Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
    You're enchained by your own sorrow
    In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
    How I hate to see you like this
    There is no way you can deny it
    I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
    Chiquitita, tell me the truth
    I'm a shoulder you can cry on
    Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
    You were always sure of yourself
    Now I see you've broken a feather
    I hope we can patch it up together
    Chiquitita, you and I know
    How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
    You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
    You will have no time for grieving
    Chiquitita, you and I cry
    But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
    Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
    Sing a new song, Chiquitita
    Try once more like you did before
    Sing a new song, Chiquitita
    So the walls came tumbling down
    And your love's a blown out candle
    All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
    Chiquitita, tell me the truth
    There is no way you can deny it
    I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
    Chiquitita, you and I know
    How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
    You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
    You will have no time for grieving
    Chiquitita, you and I cry
    But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
    Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
    Sing a new song, Chiquitita
    Try once more like you did before
    Sing a new song, Chiquitita
    Try once more like you did before
    Sing a new song, Chiquitita

    letra de Kisses Of Fire

    Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heart
    Now there's nothing at all that can keep us apart
    Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips
    Things that you do, and you know I'm crazy 'bout you
    Kisses of fire, burning, burning
    I'm at the point of no returning
    Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
    Caught in a landslide of emotions
    I've had my share of love affairs and they were nothing compared to this
    Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
    Kisses of fire
    Kisses of fire
    When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong
    Still it's making me scared that my love is so strong
    Losing you It's a nightmare, babe, and to me it's new
    Never before did you see me begging for more
    Kisses of fire, burning, burning
    I'm at the point of no returning
    Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
    Caught in a landslide of emotions
    I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this
    Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
    Kisses of fire
    Kisses of fire
    Kisses of fire, burning, burning
    I'm at the point of no returning
    Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
    Caught in a land-slide of emotions
    Kisses of fire, burning, burning
    (I'm at the point of no returning)
    Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
    I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
    (Caught in a land-slide of emotions)
    Kisses of fire, burning, burning
    I'm at the point of no returning
    Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
