ABBA "CONCIERTO EN WEMBLEY"


ABBA, la banda sueca más popular de la historia
y un éxito de ventas mundial, ultima el lanzamiento
a finales de mes de un disco en directo
grabado en 1979 en el estadio de Wembley (Londres),
tres años antes de que el grupo se separase.

El disco ha sido producido por Ludvig Andersson,
hijo del pianista y cantante Benny Andersson,
uno de los músicos del cuarteto,
y se mantiene fiel al sonido original,
además de incluir sólo temas tocados
en el último de los siete recitales
que la banda sueca dio en Wembley en 1979.

"No sabía que sonaba tan bien.
Cuando uno está sobre el escenario
te parece que todo suena fantástico
porque tienes el volumen y el público
y estás en medio de todo",
afirmó Benny Andersson,
según recoge hoy el diario "Aftonbladet".

Entre las 25 canciones incluidas en el disco
figuran todos sus clásicos,
pero también una rareza, "I'm still alive",
un tema compuesto por Agnetha Fältskog,
que con Frida Lyngstad y Björn Ulvaeus
completaban el popular grupo
que saltó a la fama en 1974
al ganar el Festival de Eurovision con "Waterloo".

Andersson aseguró que no existe
más material nuevo de ABBA
que no haya sido publicado y rechazó
por enésima vez la posibilidad
de que el grupo pueda reunirse.

"Lo hice por mí,
porque no había nacido entonces y nunca había escuchado esto",
reconoció su hijo Ludvig
al explicar los motivos
que lo llevaron a ejercer de productor del álbum.

El cuarteto sueco,
que permaneció unido una década (1972-1982),
ha vendido más de 400 millones de discos
y continúa siendo un fenómeno comercial
a través de musicales y del cine.

ROBERTO LIVI "LA CARRETERA"


Llueve y está mojada la carretera
¡qué largo es el camino! ¡qué larga espera!
kilómetros pasando pensando en ella
¡qué noche! ¡qué silencio! si ella supiera
que estoy corriendo
pensando en ella...

Las luces de los coches que van pasando
el ruido de camiones acelerando,
no hay gente por la calle y está lloviendo,
los pueblos del camino ya están durmiendo
y yo corriendo
pensando en ella...

Sigo en la carretera
buscándote,
al final del camino
te encontraré.

Los bares a estas horas están cerrando
hoteles de parejas siempre esperando,
un tren me cruza el paso es largo y lento,
me comen la cabeza los pensamientos
pensando en ella
pensando en ella...

Sigo en la carretera
buscándote,
al final del camino
te encontraré,
aceleré.

Pensando imaginando mi duda aumenta
me salgo de una curva sin darme cuenta,
la aguja marca ciento cuarenta...

Sigo en la carretera
buscándote,
al final del camino
te encontraré,
aceleré.

Llueve y está mojada la carretera
y yo sintiendo celos pensando en ella,
perdido entre la duda y la neblina
me estoy quedando solo sin gasolina...

AGNETHA "MY LOVE MY LIFE"


I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn out old phrase
So now we'll go separate ways
Never again we two
Never again, nothing I can do
Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
Answer me sincerely
Was it a dream, a lie
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But I know I don't posses you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only
I've watched you look away
Tell me is it really so hard to say
Oh, this has been my longest day
Sitting here close to you
Knowing that maybe tonight we're trough
Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
Answer me sincerely
Was it a dream, a lie
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But I know I don't posses you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Yes, I know I don't posses you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only

ABBA "ANDANTE ANDANTE"


Despacito
por favor
suavemente
como brisa
dame amor...
dame vida
ven a mí,
andante andante
sentir dentro de ti.

Tus caricias
tu avidez
terciopelo
en la noche
calidez...
me complaces
sabes bien,
andante andante
sin prisa tu también.

Soy tu vida
tu canción,
todo tuyo sé que soy
sin condición,
soy tu canto
tu placer,
andante andante
despacio en tu querer,
andante andante
hay tanto que perder.

Cuando miras
hay por ti
sensaciones
que estremecen
todo en mí,
en silencio
ámame,
andante andante
un sueño viviré.

Soy tu vida
tu canción,
todo tuyo sé que soy
sin condición...
soy tu canto
tu placer,
andante andante
despacio en tu querer,
andante andante
hay tanto que perder.

ABBA "FERNANDO"


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 I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
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 frightful 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 I 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 I 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.

ABBA "THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL"


I don't want to talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't want to talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all
And the the loser has to fall
Throw a dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
It seems plain to me

ENAMORADOS DE AGNETHA


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
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
Oh, oh 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
Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo
Waterloo knowing my fate is to be with you
Oh, oh Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo...

...Y MUCHO MÁS
