Since the beginning, in Aarhus, 20 years ago, they have developed into a professional and perpetual success with Swedish Abba as their ideal. The need to worship Abba and their music did far from vanish with the break up of the group in 1982.
Abba Revival Bands unerring cover has convinced many fans and led the band on a successful pop-odyssey with Abba's fantastic pop songs and cool seventies-glam in the trunk. With the billing, "The Original Abba Revival Band From Scandinavia" they have successfully toured for a great number of years and appeared on several TV- and radio shows in Scandinavia, Greenland and Germany.
The Abba Revival Band members are currently seven show musicians from Aarhus, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The band performs using the classic abba-line-up with the two couples in front and a backing band.
The overall impression of the sound, the costumes and the show comes close to the real thing and many festivals; company parties and clubs have given in to the irresistible urge to party, dance and sing-a-long.
Chiquitita
Abba Revival Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
The song “Chiquitita” by Abba Revival Band is a message of hope and encouragement to a friend who is going through a difficult time. The song is sung from the perspective of a concerned friend who can see that the person they are addressing is going through a tough time. The lyrics use the metaphor of being “enchained by your own sorrow” to describe the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of sadness and despair. The friend offers a shoulder to cry on and support, urging the person to be honest about how they are feeling and not to deny their sadness. At the same time, the friend has hope that things will get better and encourages the person to look to the future with a positive outlook.
The chorus of the song is particularly uplifting, as it reminds the person that they will “be dancing once again and the pain will end”. The friend encourages the person to try to sing a new song and to “try once more like you did before”. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the message of hope and encouraging the person to let go of their past hurts and move forward.
