* Clip: ‘Happy New Year’ – ABBA
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 gray
So unlike yesterday
Now’s the time for us to say…
No more champagne
And the fireworks also went off
We sit here,
Feeling lost and sad
When the party was over
The dawn was gloomy
It’s so different from yesterday
But this is the moment for us to say…
When the first lines of the song rang out through the voice of female singer Agnetha Faltskog, listeners felt their souls filled with deep sadness.
Legendary music group ABBA.
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, we will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and I`
`Happy New Year
Wishing us always have a beautiful dream
About a world where all neighbors are friends
Happy New Year
Hope will come, and we will try together
We will not fall
You and me…
When the chorus rang out, all listeners seemed to join in one endless emotion.
In fact, the lyrics of Happy New Year are not as cheerful as the melody, and are even a bit gloomy.
ABBA is the owner of the immortal song `Happy New Year`.
More than 30 years have passed, whether the melody of Happy New Year is played from an old cassette player in a small attic of an old town or luxurious year-end parties with wine and candles, the emotions still remain.
No one remembers when Abba’s Happy New Year was introduced to Vietnam, and no one knows why this melody has such a strong influence.
