Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you can jive
having the time of your life
ooh see that girl
watch that scene
dig in the dancing queen
friday night and the lights are low
where they play the right music
getting in the swing
youe in to look for a king
anybody could be that guy
night is young and the musics high
with a bit of rock music
everything is fine
youre 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
ooh see that girl
watch that scene
dig in the dancing queen
youre a teaser, you turn em on
leave them burning and then youre gone
looking out for another, anyone will do
youre 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
ooh see that girl
watch that scene
dig in the dancing queen
dig in the dancing queen

The lyrics to 黃鶯鶯's song Dancing Queen are about a teenage girl who is out having fun and dancing the night away. The song begins on a Friday night when the lights are low and the girl is looking for the perfect place to go where they play the right music. Once she finds it, she gets in the swing and starts dancing. Anyone could be her dance partner and the night is young, with the music playing high. As long as there is some rock music playing, everything is fine, and she's in the mood for a dance.
The chorus repeats twice, affirming that she is the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, at only seventeen but already an expert in breaking hearts. She's a teaser and turns them on by leaving them burning and then disappearing to look for another partner to dance the night away with. The tambourine beat is what keeps her going, and she can jive and dance to the rhythm of the music.
The song speaks to the joyful spirit of youthful energy, and the chorus is a catchy anthem that celebrates being young, free, and full of life. It was a massive hit in the 1970s, quickly becoming a dance floor favourite, and it still holds up as a beloved classic today.

After watching this video a number of times, I find out the two previous comments I left need not to be changed.

黃鶯鶯居然會唱這首ABBA女子合唱團的歌曲了。
@rayhchow
I gather from the blogger's "brief write-up" that this girl later became a singer (and dancer?) Actually, there is another profession in which I think she can excell. Guess what?
@rayhchow
All considered, a condo unit is probably the most suitable because of the logistic convenience. It is easy to book one but it does need xx/xx for reservation. Take your time but please do not change your mind.
@rayhchow
All the commenters here say this is good, etc. They obviously have not seen the dance this girl did with John Trovolta. Her mother saw it and fainted. And her father.... Let's skip that one.
@rayhchow
与菲哥上电视后, 全台北都在谈论她的“XX装", 就是那个吗？难怪妈妈见后晕倒了。
@rayhchow
不来, 没舞跳了, 没戏唱了.
