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

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we’re through
(This time we’re through, this time we’re through
This time we’re through, we’re really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do

Mem’ries (mem’ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
They’ll be (they’ll be), with me (with me) always (always)
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there’s only emptiness, nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time we’re through
(This time we’re through, this time we’re through
This time we’re through, we’re really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
It’s the best I can do

Prevod na srpski

Poznavajući mene, poznavajući tebe

Nema više bezbrižnog smeha
Tišina zauvek
Praznom kućom šetam, suze mi u očima
Ovde se priča završava, ovo je zbogom

Poznavajući mene, poznavajući tebe (ah-haa)
Ništa mi tu ne možemo
Poznavajući mene, poznavajući tebe (ah-haa)
Samo moramo s tim da se suočimo, ovaj put je s nama gotovo
(Ovaj put je s nama gotovo, ovaj put je s nama gotovo
Ovaj put je s nama gotovo, stvarno je gotovo)
Raskidi nikad nisu laki, znam, ali moram ići
(Ovog puta moram ići
Moram ići, ovog puta, znam)
Poznavajući mene, poznavajući tebe
To je najbolje što mogu

Uspomene (uspomene) lepa vremena (lepa vremena), loši dani (loši dani)
Uvek će me (uvek će me), pratiti (pratiti) uvek (uvek)
U ovim starim poznatim sobama, deca bi se igrala
Sada je tu samo praznina, nema se šta reći

Poznavajući mene, poznavajući tebe (ah-haa)
Ništa mi tu ne možemo
Poznavajući mene, poznavajući tebe (ah-haa)
Samo moramo s tim da se suočimo, ovaj put je s nama gotovo
(Ovaj put je s nama gotovo, ovaj put je s nama gotovo
Ovaj put je s nama gotovo, stvarno je gotovo)

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

S.O.S.

Gde su oni srećni dani, sada se čine tako nedostižni
Pokušala sam da doprem do tebe ali ti si se zatvorio u sebe
Šta se našoj ljubavi desilo?
Volela bih da shvatim
Bilo nam je tako lepo, bilo je tako dobro

Tako da, kada si mi blizu, dragi, zar ne čuješ
S. O. S.
Ljubav koju si mi pružio, ništa drugo me ne može spasiti
S. O. S.
Kad te nema
Kako bih mogla dalje?
Kad te nema
Iako se trudim, kako ću dalje?

Tako si dalek iako si mi blizu
Učinio si da se osećam živom, ali bojim se da je nešto umrlo
Zaista sam se trudila da shvatim
Volela bih kada bih razumela
Šta se desilo našoj ljubavi, nekad je bilo tako dobro

Tako da, kada si mi blizu, dragi, zar ne čuješ
S. O. S.
Ljubav koju si mi pružio, ništa drugo me ne može spasiti
S. O. S.
Kad te nema
Kako bih mogla dalje?

Iako se trudim, kako ću dalje?

See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance…

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen

You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave them burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance…

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig it, the Dancing Queen

Prevod na srpski

Plesna kraljica

Vidi tu devojku, gledaj tu scenu, obrati pažnju na plesnu kraljicu

Petak uveče i svetla su prigušena
Tražeći gde da ideš
Gde sviraju muziku pravu, ulaziš u fazon
Uđeš da tražiš kralja
To bi mogao biti bilo ko
Noć je tek počela a muzika je glasna
Uz malo rok muzike, sve je u redu
Raspoložena si za igru
A kada dobiješ šansu…

Ti si plesna kraljica, mlada i slatka, tek ti je sedamnaesta
Plesna kraljice, oseti ritam daira
Možeš igrati, možeš plesati, provoditi se kao nikad u životu
Vidi tu devojku, gledaj tu scenu, obrati pažnju na plesnu kraljicu

Ti zadirkuješ, pališ ih
Zapališ ih i onda nestaneš
Tražiš drugog, bilo koji će biti dobar
Raspoložena si za igru
A kada dobiješ šansu…

Ti si plesna kraljica, mlada i slatka, tek ti je sedamnaesta
Plesna kraljice, oseti ritam daira
Možeš igrati, možeš plesati, provoditi se kao nikad u životu
Vidi tu devojku, gledaj tu scenu, obrati pažnju na plesnu kraljicu

My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar 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
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-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
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo – finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo – couldn’t escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo – finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh… Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo – finally facing my Waterloo

Swedish Version

Waterloo

Jo, jo, i Waterloo Napoleon fick ge sig
Men, men, sitt öde kan man möta på så många skilda sätt
Själv känner jag, sen jag mött dig, historien upprepar sig:

Waterloo – jag är besegrad, nu ger jag mig
Waterloo – lovar med nöje att älska dig
Waterloo – allting känns rätt, och det är min tro
Waterloo – du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo
Whoa… Waterloo – du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo

Jo, jo, man värjer sig och fäktas i det längsta
Men, men, mot känslor kämpar gudarna förgäves har man sagt
Det är som jag hörde en sång – jag tror det är kärlek på gång

Waterloo – så har man funnit sin överman
Waterloo – mäktig och väldig och stark är han
Waterloo – allting känns rätt, och det är min tro
Waterloo – du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo
Whoa… Waterloo – du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo

Det är som jag hörde en sång – jag tror det är kärlek på gång

Waterloo – allting känns rätt, och det är min tro
Waterloo – du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo
Whoa… Waterloo – du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo
Oo… Waterloo – du är mitt öde, mitt Waterloo Oo…

English Translation

Waterloo

Yes, yes, in Waterloo Napoleon had to give up
But, but, you can meet your fate in so many ways
I feel, since I met you, history is repeating itself:

Waterloo – I’m conquered, now I give up
Waterloo – promise with pleasure to love you
Waterloo – everything feels right, and it’s my belief
Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo
Whoa… Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo

Yes, yes, you defend yourself and fence as long as you can
But, but, against emotions the Gods fight in vain they say
It’s as if I heard a song – I believe love is going on

Waterloo – then you have found your superior
Waterloo – powerful and mighty and strong is he
Waterloo – everything feels right, and it’s my belief
Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo
Whoa… Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo

It’s as if I heard a song – I believe love is going on

Waterloo – everything feels right, and it’s my belief
Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo
Whoa… Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo
Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo
Whoa… Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo
Waterloo – you are my fate, my Waterloo

German Version

Waterloo

Wie du mich angeseh’n hast, war ich schon verloren
Und nun bin ich verliebt bis über beide Ohren und ich will
Nur deine Gefangene sein, ab heute bist du für mich mein

Waterloo – keiner nahm mich so im Sturm wie du
Waterloo – ich kam davon wie Napoleon
Waterloo – ich gebe auf und ich komm’ zu dir
Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’
Whoa… Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’

Zuerst hab’ ich geglaubt, ich muss dir widerstehen
Du hast um mich gekämpft und ich hab’ eingesehen mit der Zeit
Es ist doch viel schöner zu zwein als unbedingt Sieger zu sein

Waterloo – keiner nahm mich so im Sturm wie du
Waterloo – ich kam davon wie Napoleon
Waterloo – nun geb’ ich auf und ich komm’ zu dir
Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’
Whoa… Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’

Es ist doch viel schöner zu zwein, du sollst mein Eroberer sein

Waterloo – nun geb’ ich auf und ich komm’ zu dir
Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’
Whoa… Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’
Oh… Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’
Whoa… Waterloo – auch wenn ich dabei mein Herz verlier’
Oo… Waterloo

French Version

Waterloo
Déjà à Waterloo Napoléon a dû se rendre
Et moi je crois que mon destin prend aujourd’hui le même chemin
Les livres d’histoire et la vie racontent la même comédie

Waterloo – Tu es vainqueur et j’ai peur de la guerre
Waterloo – Je me constitue ta prisionière
Waterloo – Je ne peux plus fuir et plus t’échapper
Waterloo – Pour la vie je promets de t’aimer
Whoa… Waterloo – Il est arrivé, mon Waterloo

Pourtant, j’ai bien tenté de résister, mais en vain
Alors, je crois que ma seule chance est d’abandonner le combat
Comment faire encore pour y croire quand je souhaite ta victoire?

Waterloo – Tu es vainqueur et j’ai peur de la guerre
Waterloo – Je me constitue ta prisionière
Waterloo – Je ne peux plus fuir et plus t’échapper
Waterloo – Pour la vie je promets de t’aimer
Whoa… Waterloo – Il est arrivé, mon Waterloo

Comment faire encore pour y croire quand je souhaite ta victoire?

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I’m not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

Now we’re old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There’s no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando…

Prevod na srpski

Fernando

Čuješ li bubnjeve Fernando?
Sećam se jedne davne ovako zvezdane noći
Uz svetlost vatre, Fernando
Ti si pevušio, onako za sebe i nežno prebirao po gitari
Čula sam bubnjeve u daljini
A izdaleka je dolaziozvuk vojničke trube

Bio je sve bliži Fernando
Svaki sat, svaki minut bili su ko večnost
Tako sam se bojala Fernando
Bili smo mladi i puni života i niko nije bio spreman da pogine
I nije me sram da kažem
Tutnjava pušaka i topova zamalo me je rasplakala

Nešto je bilo u vazduhu te noći
Zvezde su jarko sijale, Fernando
Sijale su za tebe i mene
Za slobodu, Fernando
Iako nikad pomišljali na poraz
Nema kajanja
Da moram ponovo
Uradila bih isto, Fernando, druže moj

Sad smo stari i sedi Fernando
I već godinama nisam te videla s puškom
Čuješ li bubnjeve Fernando?
Da li se još uvek sećaš te kobne noći kad prešli smo Veliku reku?
Vidim to u tvojim očima
Kako si bio ponosan što se boriš za slobodu ove zemlje

Nešto je bilo u vazduhu te noći
Zvezde su jarko sijale, Fernando
Sijale su za tebe i mene
Za slobodu, Fernando
Iako nikad pomišljali na poraz
Nema kajanja
Da moram ponovo
Uradila bih isto, Fernando, druže moj

Nešto je bilo u vazduhu te noći
Zvezde su jarko sijale, Fernando
Sijale su za tebe i mene
Za slobodu, Fernando
Iako nikad nismo ni pomišljali na poraz
Nema kajanja
Da moram ponovo
Uradila bih isto, Fernando, druže moj
Da, ako bih sve ponovo
Uradila bih isto, Fernando, druže moj…

Anni-Frid Lyngstad – Fernando ~ Swedish Version

Varför sörjer du Fernando?
Varför klingar din gitarr i moll,
vad är det som står på?
År det kärleken Fernando–
har hon lämnat dej din stora, stora kärlek–
är det så?
Den som älskat och förlorat
vet att sånt kan ändå hända då och då.

Sorgen kan va tung att bära,
men att vänner sviker är nånting man måste lära sej.
Jag har också mist min kära,
vem är du som tror att detta kunde drabba bara dej…
Har du några glada sånger kvar så spela,
spela, spela dom för mej!

Länge, länge leve kärleken
vår bästa vän, Fernando.
Fyll ditt glas och höj en skål för den,
för kärleken, Fernando!
Spela, spela melodien och sjung sången om lyckan.
Länge, länge leve kärleken,
den kärleken, Fernando!

Ska vi skåla för dom andra
som fick evig kärlek och den tro som bor i varje sång?
Eller skåla med varandra?
Vill du dricka för den lycka som jag upplevde en gång…
Det är lika sant som sagt den vackra sagan den blir aldrig, aldrig lång.

English Translation

Fernando

Why are you grieving Fernando?
Why does your guitar sound so sad;
what’s going on?
Is it love Fernando –
has she left you, your great, great love –
is that it?
Those who have loved and lost
know that it happens from time to time.

The grief can be difficult to bear,
but betrayal by friends is something you have to learn to live with.
I have also lost, my dear,
How could you think that this could only happen to you …
Have you got any happy songs to play,
play, play them for me!

Long, long live love
our best friend, Fernando.
Raise your glass and propose a toast to it,
to love, Fernando!
Play, play the melody and sing the song of happiness.
Long, long live love!
To love, Fernando!

Shall we propose a toast to the others
for eternal love and faith that lives in every song?
Or toast to each other?
Would you drink for the happiness that I once had…
It is true what they say a beautiful fairytale never, ever lasts.

Prevod na srpski

Fernando

Zašto tuguješ Fernando?
Zašto je tako tužan zvuk tvoje gitare;
o čemu je reč?
Da li je to ljubav, Fernando –
jeli te ostavila tvoja velika, velika ljubav –
jel to u pitanju?
Kad voliš pa izgubiš,
znaš da to se događa s vremena na vreme.

S tom tugom se možda teško nosiš,
ali kad te izda prijatelj, to je nešto sa čim moraš naučiti da živiš.
I ja sam izgubila, dragi moj,
Zašto misliš da to se događa samo tebi …
Ako znaš neke srećne pesme,
sviraj, sviraj ih za mene!

Živela, živela ljubav
naš najbolji drug, Fernando.
Podigni čašu i nazdravi joj,
ljubavi, Fernando!
Sviraj, sviraj tu melodiju i pevaj pesmu o sreći.
Živela, živela ljubav!
Za ljubav, Fernando!

Hoćemo li nazdraviti za druge
za večnu ljubav i veru što živi u svakoj pesmi?
Ili nazdraviti jedno drugom?
Hoćeš li nazdraviti za moju nekadašnju sreću…
Da li je istina što kažu da bajke nikad ne traju dugo.
