HAPPY NEW YEAR

 ABBA (1980)

 

 

 

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

 

Repeat *

 

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

 

 

Repeat *

 

 

 

** dragging   질질 끈다     astray  길을 헤멘다

    ashes 재           clay  진흙        confetti   색종이(뿌리는)

    decade  십년
