Esta noite...

...algo completamente diferente – os Abba! Sim – eu sei! Mas gosto deles, e pronto! E ao contrário do que diz a publicidade que quer vender aquelas aberrações que nasceram com o filme Mamma Mia, gosto de os ouvir “à antiga” e não como naquele filme!!

Cresci com os Abba, “fiz-me” homem com eles (embora esteja com dúvidas se já o sou...), comecei, como todos nesta altura, de gostar deles com o Waterloo, depois comecei a “vasculhar” tal como milhares de alemães as canções anteriores que a seguir fizeram nesse mesmo ano de 1974 um sucesso estrondoso no país que me viu nascer, como Ring Ring, Honey Honey ou Hasta Mañana.

A canção que coloco hoje aqui deve ser desconhecida do “grande público”, mas isso não a torna menos bonita! Faz parte dessa descoberta, é de 1973 e dá pelo simples nome de Dance – dança, enquanto a música dure...belos tempos! Actualmente, ainda bem que não levo essas letras à letra...




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
