Happy New Year
ABBA(아바) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 neighbor 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
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor 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
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
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbor 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
The lyrics to ABBA's song Happy New Year capture the bittersweet feeling of the end of a celebration, as the fireworks have ended and the champagne has run out, leaving only a sense of loss and melancholy. The singer is feeling lost and blue as they contemplate the end of the party, and they lament the passing of time and the end of a decade. Despite this, the song ultimately celebrates the hope and potential of the new year, with the singer expressing a desire for unity and friendship among neighbors, a vision for a better world, and a determination to pursue their hopes and dreams. The song urges listeners to keep moving forward and to try their best, even when things seem impossible.
Throughout the song, ABBA employs imagery that is both starkly realistic and aspirational. The lyric "man is a fool, and he thinks he'll be okay, dragging on, feet of clay, never knowing he's astray" speaks to the idea that personal and societal struggles can be self-inflicted, and that the pursuit of happiness can sometimes result in disillusionment. However, the song ultimately argues that we should keep striving towards a better future, even in the face of adversity.
Overall, ABBA's Happy New Year is a poignant and reflective song that captures the complicated emotions of the holiday season. It explores both the sadness and the hope that are always present at the end of one year and the beginning of another, urging listeners to keep pushing forward and stay hopeful even in difficult times.
