Waterloo

Reseña

"Waterloo", el segundo álbum de Abba y el primero que la banda sueca lanzó a nivel internacional, se publicó en marzo de 1974, con la producción de Benny Andersson y Björn Ulvaeus. La canción principal del álbum, titulada igualmente "Waterloo", representó a Suecia en el Festival de Eurovisión de ese año, alcanzando el primer puesto y convirtiéndose en un fenómeno a nivel mundial y lanzando definitivamente la carrera de Abba. De esta canción se lanzaron dos versiones, una en sueco y otra en inglés, que fue incluída en la edición internacional del álbum.

Las siguientes canciones del álbum "Waterloo" recibieron el empujón del triunfo en Eurovisión y, de esta manera, el segundo sencillo, titulado "Honey, Honey", alcanzó el puesto 27 en la estadounidense lista Billboard Hot 100 y el segundo en Alemania. Por toda Europa se hablaba del fenómeno ABBA y el grupo sueco aparecía en las televisiones de todos los países promocionando su trabajo.

La canción "Dance (While the Music Still Goes On)" es la única del álbum "Waterloo" en la que no aparece Benny Andersson en los teclados. El miembro de Abba fue reemplazado para esta pieza por el estadounidense John Rabbit Bundrick, aunque éste no aparece acreditado y su nombre no figura en el álbum.

Esta es la primera vez que un álbum aparece firmado como ABBA, ya que hasta ahora sus trabajos venían firmados como "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid", los nombres de los cuatro miembros del grupo.

    My my
    At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
    Oh yeah
    And I have met my destiny in quite a similiar way
    The history book on the shelf
    Is always repeating itself
    Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
    Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
    Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
    Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
    Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
    My my
    I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
    Oh yeah
    And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
    And how could I ever refuse
    I feel like I win when I lose
    Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
    Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
    Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
    Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
    Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
    So how could I ever refuse
    I feel like I win when I lose
    Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
    Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more

    letra de Sitting In The Palmtree

    See me sitting in the palm tree
    Looking down at people passing by
    Sitting here no-one can harm me
    They just stare at me and wonder why
    No need to bother, I'm gonna stay up here
    Whatever happens, I won't let no-one near
    Until you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind, won't you please
    You really love me, Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
    And in the evening, when the sun goes down
    I'll be the bluest of men in this town
    'Cause I love you, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
    See me sitting in the palm tree
    Waiting for those little words from you
    People laugh and point their fingers
    Like I was a monkey at the zoo
    But I will stay here, among my coconuts
    So you will know dear, you're everything I've got
    Now won't you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
    Winds blow, stars glow, I see a light in a window
    Dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please
    See me sitting in the palm tree
    Feeling angry at the silly crowd
    No-one else but you can calm me
    You should know by now I'm far too proud
    I need to show you, I've got my feelings too
    You shouldn't treat me like you always do
    So won't you tell me, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind, won't you please
    You really love me, Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
    And in the evening, when the sun goes down
    I'll be the bluest of men in this town
    'Cause I love you, Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
    Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine
    Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
    Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine
    Jeanie Jeanie on my mind
    Jeanie Jeanie you're so fine

    letra de King Kong Song

    Well I was looking at a movie on the TV last night
    Then I had a very funny notion, yeah
    I really had to write a song about it
    And then I'm gonna sing it with my rock 'n roll band
    And I bet the people gonna like it, yeah
    I know that everybody's gonna shout it
    And what a dreadful mighty killer
    A big black wide gorilla
    [Chorus:]
    We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
    Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
    We do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing along
    Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
    Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song
    Now we can make the jungle out of any old place
    We can make gorillas out of people, yeah
    Well who can tell a monkey from a monkey?
    So people get together, gonna have a good time
    Everybody listen to the music, yeah
    'Cause what we're gonna sing is kinda funky
    So let your arms hang down
    And waddle all around
    Like a dreadful mighty killer
    A big black wide gorilla
    [Chorus]
    Like a dreadful mighty killer
    A big black wide gorilla

    letra de Hasta Mañana

    Where is the spring and the summer
    That once was yours and mine?
    Where did it go?
    I just don't know
    But still my love for you will live forever
    Hasta Mañana 'til we meet again
    Don't know where, don't know when
    Darling, our love was much too strong to die
    We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
    Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
    I can't do without you
    Time to forget, send me a letter
    Say you forgive, the sooner the better
    Hasta Mañana, baby, Hasta Mañana, until then
    Where is the dream we were dreaming
    And all the nights we shared
    Where did they go?
    I just don't know
    And I can't tell you just how much I miss you
    Hasta Mañana 'til we meet again
    Don't know where, don't know when
    Darling, our love was much too strong to die
    We'll find a way to face a new tomorrow
    Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
    I can't do without you
    Time to forget, send me a letter
    Say you forgive, the sooner the better
    Hasta Mañana, baby, Hasta Mañana, until then
    Hasta Mañana, say we'll meet again
    I can't do without you
    Time to forget, send me a letter
    Say you forgive, the sooner the better

    letra de My Mama Said

    Tried to sneak out without saying
    With my loudest record playing
    Ooh, my mama said, "Look at this, you haven't done your bed"
    My mama said, "That's a thing that you should do instead"
    Then I did what she had told me
    Dying for my friend to hold me
    Ooh, my mama said, "Try and get one thing into your head"
    My mama said, "Pa and me, we give you room and bed"
    How I want to live my life
    Want to live my life
    La-la-la, la-la-la, life
    In the morning she said "Listen"
    Ooh, I felt like in a prison
    Yeah, my mama said, "I know you've been out again with Fred"
    (My mama said)
    My mama said, "Don't you lie, your cheeks are blushing red"
    (My mama said)
    Oh I want to live my life
    Want to live my life
    La-la-la, la-la-la, life
    I said I can live without it
    How I wish you wouldn't doubt it
    Ooh, my mama said, "If you want to hurt me go ahead"
    (My mama said)
    My mama said, "I suppose you'd rather see me dead"
    (My mama said)
    Oh I want to live my life
    Want to live my life
    La-la-la, la-la-la, life [Repeat: x4]

    letra de Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)

    Oh, my love it makes me sad.
    Why did things turn out so bad?
    Was it just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

    Baby, give me one more
    Dance while the music still goes on
    Don't think about tomorrow
    Dance and forget our time is gone
    Tonight's a night we borrow.
    Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
    A thing to remember when we're all alone
    So dance, it's our way to say goodbye

    Yes, all we have to do is
    Dance while the music still goes on
    This is no time for crying
    Dance, don't you hear them play our song
    God knows that we've been trying
    But we didn't make it 'cause nothing's the same
    We just couldn't help it, nobody's to blame
    So dance while the music still goes on
    And let it be our last goodbye

    Yet it seems to make me sad.
    Why did things turn out so bad?
    Was is just a dream, everything we did, everything we had?

    Baby, give me one last
    Dance while the music still goes on
    Just like the night I met you
    Dance and believe me, when you're gone
    You know I won't forget you
    Our love was a snowbird, it's flying away
    You tell me it's over, what more can I say?
    So dance while the music still goes on
    It's gonna be our last goodbye

    Dance while the music still goes on
    Don't think about tomorrow
    Dance and forget our time is gone
    Tonight's a night we borrow.
    Let's make it a memory, a night of our own
    A thing to remember when we're all alone
    So dance while the music still goes on
    And let it be our last goodbye

    Dance while the music still goes on
    This is no time for crying
    Dance, don't you hear them play our song
    God knows that we've been trying
    Dance while the music still goes on
    Just like the night I met you
    Dance and believe me, when you're gone
    You know I won't forget you

    letra de Honey, Honey

    Honey honey, how you thrills me, ah-hah, honey honey
    Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
    I'd heard about you before
    I wanted to know some more
    And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
    Oh, you make me dizzy
    Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey
    Honey honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey
    The way that you kiss goodnight (The way that you kiss me goodnight)
    The way that you hold me tight (The way that you're holding me tight)
    I feel like I want to sing when you do your thing
    I don't want to hurt you, baby, I don't want to see you cry
    So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
    But I'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me
    There's no other place in this world where I rather would be
    Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
    Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
    You look like a movie star (You look like a movie star)
    But I know just who you are (I know just who you are)
    And, honey, to say the least, you're a dog-gone beast
    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, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
    Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
    I heard about you before
    I wanted to know some more
    And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine

    letra de Watch Out

    You move like a flame of fire
    Your eyes like a flash of lightning
    You lie since you're cold inside
    And I'm gonna tame you, wild thing
    You'd better watch out
    I said you'd better watch out
    Watch out
    Anywhere you go I'll find you
    Watch out
    I'll be staying close behind you
    And I've tired of waiting (Oh-a-la-la)
    Yes it's driving me crazy (Oh-a-la-la-la)
    And my patience is fading (Oh-a-la-la)
    Oh, you'd better watch out
    I said you'd better watch out
    You speak and you're funny lately
    You act like I was a stranger
    I think you're beginning to hate me
    But then you're a girl in danger
    You'd better watch out
    Ooh, I said you'd better watch out
    Watch out
    Anywhere you go I'll find you
    Watch out
    I'll be staying close behind you
    And I've tired of waiting (Oh-a-la-la)
    Yes it's driving me crazy (Oh-a-la-la-la)
    And my patience is fading (Oh-a-la-la)
    So you'd better watch out
    Yes I said you'd better watch out
    Watch out
    Watch out
    And I've tired of waiting (Oh-a-la-la)
    Yes it's driving me crazy (Oh-a-la-la-la)

    letra de What About Livingstone

    Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
    And then I heard them laugh and say
    Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now
    Hey, what's it good for anyway?
    So I said
    Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may
    What about Livingstone?
    What about all those men?
    Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
    Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
    Traveling up the Nile
    Putting themselves on test
    Didn't that help the rest?
    Wasn't it worth it then?
    What about Livingstone?
    And all of those fellas at the local news-stand
    Didn't know what to answer or what to say
    So I told them about him, that he was just like
    One of those spacemen in his way
    And if you laugh at them
    Then there's only a thing I can say
    What about Livingstone?
    What about all those men?
    Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
    Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
    Traveling up the Nile
    Putting themselves on test
    Didn't that help the rest?
    Wasn't it worth it then?
    What about Livingstone?
    (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
    What about all those men?
    (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
    Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
    Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
    (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
    Traveling up the Nile
    (Didn't he do it?)
    Putting themselves on test
    Didn't that help the rest?
    (Didn't that help them? Well, didn't it?)
    Wasn't it worth it then?
    What about Livingstone?
    (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
    What about all those men?
    (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)

    letra de Suzy-Hang-Around

    Suzy was nine and I was ten
    Right at the time when boys like to think they're men
    She used to follow us at school
    We really thought that she was a little fool
    And one day we said to her
    We don't want to hurt you girl
    But you'd better
    Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
    Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
    Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
    So get off our playground and stay away
    That's all that we've got to say
    Suzy-hang-around
    Suzy went home to Mama's arms
    Mama said "Look, she's never done you no harm
    So get off her back and let her be
    Why can't you play together in harmony?"
    We really didn't know what to say
    But as soon as she went away
    We laughed and said
    Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
    Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
    Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
    So get off our playground and stay away
    That's all that we've got to say
    Suzy-hang-around
    Yes you'd better
    Look for a friend of your own, Suzy-hang-around
    Better come back when you're grown, Suzy-hang-around
    Nobody wants you around here and that's for sure
    So get off our playground and stay away
    That's all that we've got to say
