Abba - Dancing Queen (Official Video)

 

Lyrics : Korean By bloger, Jimie Ryu

[Chorus]
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

 

춤을 추어요. 자이브를 추세요. 당신 생에의 시간을 가져보세요
저 여자를 보세요. 저 모습을 보세요. 댄싱퀸이 되어보세요

 

[Verse 1]
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come 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

 

금요일 밤 불빛은 흐리고 갈 곳을 찾아서
신나는 음악이 연주되는 곳에 몸을 흔들며

당신은 왕자를 찾으러 왔군요
누구라도 괜찮아요

밤은 젊음이요 음악은 고조되고

락 음악이 흐르고 모든 게 좋아요

당신은 댄스 무드에 젖었어요
그리고 당신은 기회가 되면 ~

[Chorus]
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

 

당신은 댄싱퀸이에요.

젊고 사랑스런 열일곱살 춤추는 여왕,
탬버린의 울림을 느껴요.
춤을 추고 스윙을 출 수 있지요

당신 생의 좋은 시간을 가지세요
저 여자를 보세요. 저 모습을 보세요. 댄싱퀸이 되어보세요

 

[Verse 2]
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

당신은 그들을 들뜨게 하고불타오르게 하고 떠나가는 약올리는 사람인가요
다른 사람을 찾아서, 누구든지 괜찮아요
당신은 춤추고 싶은 분위기예요
그리고 기회가 되면~

 

[Chorus]
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen

당신은 댄싱퀸이에요.

젊고 사랑스런 열일곱살 춤추는 여왕,
탬버린의 울림을 느껴요.
춤을 추고 스윙을 출 수 있지요

당신 생의 좋은 시간을 가지세요
저 여자를 보세요. 저 모습을 보세요. 댄싱퀸이 되어보세요

[Outro]
Digging the dancing queen
댄싱퀸이 되어보세요

 

"Dancing Queen"

is a Europop song by the Swedish group ABBA, and the lead single from their fourth studio album, Arrival. It was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson. Andersson and Ulvaeus also produced the song.

 

"Dancing Queen" was released as a single in Sweden on 15 August 1976, followed by a UK release and the rest of Europe a few days later. It was a worldwide hit.  It became ABBA's only number one hit in the United States, and topped the charts in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Mexico,  Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany and Zimbabwe. "Dancing Queen" also reached the top five in many other countries.

 

Musically, "Dancing Queen" is a Europop version of American disco music.  As disco music dominated the US charts, the group decided to follow the trend, replicating Phil Spector's Wall of Sound arrangements.

 

The song alternates between "languid yet seductive verses" and a "dramatic chorus that ascends to heart-tugging high notes." It features keyboard lines by Andersson, which accentuate the melody's sophistication and classical complexity, while Ulvaeus and Andersson interlace many instrumental hooks in and out of the mix. 

Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog's layered vocals have been noted for their dynamism,  "[negotiating] the Abba's many turns flawlessly."  Lyrically, the song concerns a visit to the discotheque, but approaches the subject from the joy of dancing itself.

 

The music video on YouTube has over 408 million views as of March 2020, and has become ABBA's most recognisable and popular song.

 

In 2015, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
