ABBA – Happy New Year

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 grey
So unlike yesterday
Now’s the time for us to say…

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he’ll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he’s astray
Keeps on going anyway…

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It’s the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we’ll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine…

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Prevod pesme

Srećna nova godina

Nema više šampanjca
A vatromet je gotov
Eto nas, ja i ti
Osećamo se izgubljeni i tužni
Gotova je zabava
A jutro se tako sivim čini
I zato, za razliku od juče
Sad je vreme da se kaže…

Srećna nova godina
Srećna nova godina
Nek svako, s vremena na vreme, zamisli
Svet u kojem nam je svaki komšija prijatelj
Srećna nova godina
Srećna nova godina
Neka nade imamo, volje da pokušamo
Ako ne pokušamo, isto tako možemo da se prepustimo i umremo
Ti i ja

Ponekad vidim
Kako hrabar novi svet dolazi
I vidim kako likuje
U pepelu naših života
Oh da, ljudi su budale
I misle da biće sve u redu
Vukući teške noge
Ne znajući da su zalutali
Nastavljaju odlaziti…

Srećna nova godina
Srećna nova godina
Nek svako, s vremena na vreme, zamisli
Svet u kojem nam je svaki komšija prijatelj
Srećna nova godina
Srećna nova godina
Neka nade imamo, volje da pokušamo
Ako ne pokušamo, isto tako možemo da se prepustimo i umremo
Ti i ja

Sad mi se čini
Da su svi naši stari snovi
Umrli, ničeg više nema
Sem konfeta na podu
To je kraj jedne decenije
Za deset godina
Ko bi znao na šta ćemo nailaziti
šta nas čeka
Na kraju osamdeset devete…

Srećna nova godina
Srećna nova godina
Nek svako, s vremena na vreme, zamisli
Svet u kojem nam je svaki komšija prijatelj
Srećna nova godina
Srećna nova godina
Neka nade imamo, volje da pokušamo
Ako ne pokušamo, isto tako možemo da se prepustimo i umremo
Ti i ja
