解散至今超過四分之一個世紀,但是每一天,ABBA/阿巴合唱團都有新的歌迷。有些人從天后瑪丹娜新曲取樣認識阿巴,有些人透過阿巴音樂劇「Mamma Mia!/媽媽咪呀!」;在歐洲、年輕偶像A*Teens/阿巴少年組以唱阿巴的歌登上排行冠軍,更有無數仿阿巴團體,在世界各地舉辦演唱會,2006年瑞典宣布成立「阿巴博物館」。ABBA、從1982年解散至今,一年比一年還要走紅。

解散之後,每年仍平均銷售200萬張專輯,至今累積37000萬張,ABBA不愧是瑞典百年來最大出口商品,跟貓王以及披頭四並列為世界3大奇蹟。從1974年歐洲歌唱大賽中贏得第一名開始,二男二女的組合,在世人面前戀愛、結婚、又離婚,阿巴本身的戲劇性跟他們的音樂,一樣令世人津津樂道。除了有讓媒體追不完的八卦,阿巴的造型鮮豔亮麗、誇張性感,至今仍是一絕。也因此,阿巴所代表的不只是音樂而已,多重的流行元素,讓他們穿越時空,跨越世代,重新復活在「妙麗的春宵」、「沙漠妖姬」、「麻辣女王」、「凸槌特派員」、「辛普森家庭」等熱門電影與卡通;日韓兩地,也有日劇「蛋糕上的草莓」、韓劇「冬季戀歌」以阿巴歌曲成為故事主軸。99年,阿巴兩位靈魂人物,也把阿巴暢銷曲編寫成音樂劇「Mamma Mia!」,這時候阿巴團員才發現,原來自己所創作的歌曲,一首就是一部完整的電影、電視劇、甚至是音樂劇;2008年,「Mamma Mia!」更被翻拍成電影,請到梅莉史翠普、皮爾斯布洛斯南等巨星演出,電影與原聲帶也都在全球創下驚人的銷售紀錄。總之,流行樂壇巨星很多,但是歌曲可以走紅40年,甚至更久,只有ABBA(以上資料來自博客來音樂館)

ABBA ~ Knowing Me, Knowing You

No more carefree laughter 不再開懷的笑
Silence ever after 從此沈默
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes 眼中泛著淚走過空蕩蕩的房子
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye 這就是我們故事的終點, 在這裡結束

Knowing me, knowing you 因為我們終於彼此了解
There is nothing we can do 我們能做的都做了
Knowing me, knowing you 我們終於彼此了解
We just have to face it, this time we're through 我們必須面對這事實, 這次我們玩完了
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go 我知道分手從來都不是容易的,但我必須離開
Knowing me, knowing you我們終於彼此了解
It's the best I can do 我盡力了

Mem'ries, good days, bad days 帶著所有的回憶
They'll be, with me always常在我心
In these old familiar rooms children would play 孩子在這熟悉的屋內玩耍
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say 如今只剩空虛, 我無話可說

ABBA ~ Super Trouper

Super trouper   ABBA

Super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly I feel all right
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

*Tonight the super trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the super trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Facing twenty thousands of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely?
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
But it's gonna be alright
(You'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight(*)

So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight

超級馬戲團員   阿巴合唱團

超級馬戲團員的光芒使我目盲
但我並不煩惱
像我以往一樣
因為在人群中我可以找到你

對於一切事物都感到厭煩
從我昨晚在格拉斯哥打電話給你以後
除了吃、睡和歌唱
期盼每一場表演都是最後一場
想像著自己很高興聽見你要來
突然間,什麼都好了
一切將會不一樣
當我出現在今晚的舞台上

今晚,超級馬戲團員的光芒會找到我
像太陽一般耀眼
笑一笑,開心點
像冠軍得主一樣
超級馬戲團員的光芒使我目盲
但我並不煩惱
像我以往一樣
因為在人群中我可以找到你

面對著兩萬名你的朋友
還有誰會如此寂寞?
成功的一部分永不結束
但我依然只想著你
有些時候,我覺得自己快瘋了
但又安然無事
(你將使一切改觀)
一切將會不一樣
當我出現在今晚的舞台上

你到達的時候,我一定在場
你的視線會證明我還活著
當你將我擁入懷中
緊緊的抱著我
今晚,那對我意義非凡

ABBA ~ Voulez-Vous

people everywhere

a sense of expectation hanging in the air

giving out a spark

across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark

and here we go again, we know the start, we know the end

masters of the scene

we've done it all before and now we're back to get some more

you know what i mean

voulez-vous (ah-ha)

take it now or leave it (ah-ha)

now is all we get (ah-ha)

nothing promised, no regrets

voulez-vous (ah-ha)

ain't no big decision (ah-ha)

you know what to do (ah-ha)

la question c'est voulez-vous

voulez-vous...

i know what you think

feeling mighty proud

i see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd

i'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game

master of the scene

we've done it all before and now we're back to get some more

you know what i mean

voulez-vous (ah-ha)

take it now or leave it (ah-ha)

ABBA ~ Dancing queen

Dancing queen   ABBA

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
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(*)

舞后   阿巴合唱團

妳可以盡情舞動,盡情跳躍
盡情享受妳的人生
看看這個女孩、這幅景象
她骨子裡就是個舞后

週五夜晚,燈光昏暗
看看屋外,想找個地方去玩
那兒放著正點的音樂
讓人忘情搖擺
你走進裡面尋找國王

任何人都可能雀屏中選
夜未央,音樂正 high
有搖滾樂,一切都很完美
妳跳舞的情緒正高昂

當妳把握住機會
妳就是舞后
年輕而甜美,年紀才十七歲
舞后,抓住鈴鼓的節奏
妳可以盡情舞動,盡情跳躍
盡情享受妳的人生
看看這個女孩、這幅景象
她骨子裡就是個舞后

妳逗弄他們,讓他們心癢癢的
當他們慾火焚身,然後妳消失無蹤
尋找下一個目標,任何人都可能
妳跳舞的情緒正高昂
