Aprovechando que hace nada se ha celebrado Eurovisión (y no vamos a tener en cuenta la pésima actuación y resultados de España) hoy quiero traeros una canción de uno de los grupos que creo que mejor ha sabido afianzarse en la música tras el haber ganado el certamen.

DATOS DE LA CANCIÓN:

La portada del single se convirtió en la del disco Greatest Hits Vol. 2, aunque viene incluido en el álbum Voulez-Vous como Bonus Track en la pista número 13.

Se publicó en el 79, con algo más de 4 min. y medio; y fue escrita por las “B’s” del grupo (Benny y Björn)

Forma parte del musical y película musical Mamma Mia!, y Madonna pidió permiso a “ABBA” para usar base y algunas estrofas para su “Hung Up”, aunque para ello Benny y Björn deberían aparecer como co-autores.

Hay muchísima historia de este grupo, que personalmente, me encanta... por lo que os recomiendo que visitéis su web si queréis saber más, y su canal de youtube para ver más vídeos musicales, incluidos los  que cantan en español!

LETRA:

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

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 dayGimme! 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 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!

Won't somebody help me

Chase the shadows away

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

To the break of the day

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

Y cómo no os iba a poner un "bonus"! aquí os dejo a los actores de "Mamma Mia!", la película, cantando y pasándoselo de muerte en la escena extra del final de la peli, cantando, cómo no, Waterloo, canción con la que ABBA ganó el festival de Eurovisión para Suecia en 1974
