Mamma Mia! lyrics

ROSIE

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

TANYA

I have never seen such sorrow

ROSIE & TANYA

In your eyes

and the wedding is tomorrow

TANYA

How I hate to see you like this

ROSIE

There is no way you can deny it

TANYA

I can see

That you're oh so sad, so quiet

ROSIE & TANYA

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friend

I'm the one you must rely on

ROSIE & TANYA

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

See that girl

Watch that scene

Diggin' the dancing queen

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

TANYA

Anybody could be that guy

Night is young and the music's high

With a bit of rock music

TANYA:

You're so hot

Teasing me

So you're blue but I can't

Take a chance on a kid like you

It's something I couldn't do

There's that look

In your eyes

I can read in your face

That your feelings are driving you wild

But boy you're only a child

Well, I could dance with you honey

If you think it's funny

But does your mother know that you're out?

And I could chat with you baby

GIRLS

Is there a man out there?

Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A man after midnight

Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

SOPHIE

Sorry to drag you away

SAM

Thank God you did, this used to be

a quiet wee island.

SOPHIE

Regretting you stayed away so long?

SAM

DONNA

Honey honey, how he thrills me, a-ha, honey honey

Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey

I've heard about him before

I wanted to know some more

And now I know what they mean, he's a love machine

Oh, he makes me dizzy

Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey

Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey

The way that you kiss good night

ALI / LISA

SAM:

I can't conceal it

Don't you see?

Can't you feel it?

GIRLS (Pause):

: Say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

SAM:

Donna, let's try it.

You love me, don't deny it.

GIRLS:

Say I do?

DONNA (Pause):

: I do, I do, I do, I do, I do:

GIRLS:

Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past

Now I've just made it

I found you at last

So come on

Now let's try it

I love you

Can't deny it

SOPHIE:

I have a dream

A song to sing

To help me cope

With anything

If you see the wonder

Of a fairy tale

You can take the future

Even if you fail

I believe in angels

Something good in everything I see

I believe in angels

When I know the time is right for me

I'll cross the stream

I have a dream

COMPANY:

I have a dream

A fantasy

To help me through

Reality

And my destination

SAM:

No more carefree laughter

Silence ever after

Walking through an empty house

Tears in my eyes

This is how the story ends

This is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you

There is nothing we can do

Knowing me, knowing you

We just have to face it

This time we're through

Breaking up is never easy, I know

But I have to go

Knowing me, knowing you

It's the best I can do

SKY

I wasn't jealous before we met

Now every man that I see is a potential threat

And I'm possessive, it isn't nice

You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice

But now it isn't true

Now everything is new

And all I've learned

Has overturned

I beg of you

SOPHIE

Don't go wasting your emotion

Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck

DONNA

I was cheated by you

And I think you know when.

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now, will I ever learn?

I don't know how but I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again

DONNA

I work all night, I work all day

To pay the bills I have to pay

COMPANY

Ain't it sad?

DONNA

And still there never seems to be

A single penny left for me

COMPANY

That's too bad

DONNA

In my dreams I have a plan

If I got me a wealthy man

I wouldn't have to work at all

I'd fool around and have a ball

COMPANY

Money, money, money

Must be funny

In a rich man's world

SOPHIE

I've seen you twice

In a short time

Only a week since we started

It seems to me

For every time

I'm getting more open-hearted

Your smile and the sound of your voice

And the way you see through me

Got a feeling, you give me no chioce

But it means a lot to me

So I wanna know

What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

What's the name of the game?

DONNA:

They passed me by

All of those great romances

Because of your

Robbing me

Of my rightful chances

My picture clear

Everything seemed so easy

But the you dealt me the blow

One of us had to go

How you hurt me

I want you to know

One of us is crying

One of us is lying

In her lonely bed

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead

One of us is lonely

HARRY:

I can still recall

Our last summer

I still see it all

Walks along the Seine

Laughing in the rain

Our last summer

Memories that remain

We made our way along the river

And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower

I was so happy we had met

It was the age of no regret

Oh, yes

Those crazy years

That was the time of the flower-power

But underneath

We had a fear of flying

SOPHIE

I have a dream

A song to sing

To help me cope

With anything

If you see the wonder

Of a fairy tale

You can take the future

Even if you fail:

Sam Carmichael:

Bill Austin

And Harry Bright:

Good luck:

DONNA:

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye

With an absent-minded smile

I watch her go

With a surge of that well-known sadness

And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm loosing her forever

And without really entering her world

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

SAM:

Where are those happy days?

They seem so hard to find

I try to reach for you

But you have closed your mind

Whatever happened to our love?

I wish I understood

It used to be so nice

It used to be so good

So when you're near me

Darling can't you hear me?

S.O.S

The love you gave me

Nothing else can save me

S.O.S

When you're gone

How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone

DONNA & THE DYNAMOS

Super Trouper

Beams are gonna blind me

But I won't feel blue

Like I always do

'Cause somewhere in the crowd

There's you

DONNA

I was sick and tired of everything

When I called you last night from Glasgow

All I do is eat, and sleep, and sing

Wishing every show was the last show

So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming

Suddenly it feels alright

ROSIE:

If you change your mind

I'm the first in line

Honey, I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me let me know

Gonna be around

If you've got no place to go

When you're feeling down

If you're all alone

When the pretty birds have flown

Honey, I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best

And it ain't no lie

If you put me to the test

If you let me try

HARRY

Thank you for the music

The songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy

They're bringing

Who can live without it

I ask in all honesty

What would life be

HARRY / SOPHIE

Without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me

SOPHIE

Mother says I was

A dancer before I could walk

She says I began

To sing long before I could talk

SOPHIE:

Don't know how to take it

Don't know where to go

My resistance running low

And every day the hold is getting tighter

And it troubles me so

NIGHTMARE CHORUS:

You know that I'm nobody's fool

SOPHIE

I'm nobody's fool and

Yet it's clear to me

I don't have a strategy

It's just like taking candy from a baby

And I think I must be

SOPHIE & NIGHTMARE CHORUS:

Under attack

ENSEMBLE
Folk som andas in
En doft av spänd förväntan
Vinn eller försvinn
Blickarna jag ger
Dom träffar rätt
Och dina ögon bara ler

Nu är vi här igen och letar efter spänningen
Och från och med entrén
Agerar vi
Från scen till scen
Nätter utan slut

Voulez-Vous
Ingenting att ångra
Det är här och nu
Det är jag och det är du

Voulez-Vous
Ingenting att lova

DONNA:

I don't wanna talk

About things we've gone through

Though it's hurting me

Now it's history

I've played all my cards

And that's what you've done too

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play

The winner takes it all

The loser standing small

Beside the victory

That's her destiny

I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense

Building me a fence

DONNA
Jag jobbar natt, jag jobbar dag
Så räkningarna klarar jag

ENSEMBLE
Det är hårt

DONNA
Jag snålar alltid och jag spar
Men ändå har jag inget kvar

ENSEMBLE
Det är svårt

DONNA
Har en dröm som ska bli sann
Jag vill ha en förmögen man
Som ger mig allt jag pekar på
Ja, allt jag drömt om ska jag få

DONNA/ENSEMBLE
Money, money, money
Jag och han i

Som du lurade mig och du vet när det var
Så jag sa till mig själv; du är inget att ha
Lär sig gå
Det var svårt för jag snubblade på
Alla tänkar som nuddar dig
Dom som tänder en eld i mig
När jag ser dig hör jag klockarna slå
När du ler så är jag högt i det blå, oh oh oh

Mamma Mia!
Är jag där igen?
Nej, nej, kan jag inte vända?
Mamma Mia!
Du är här igen

KARIN
Chiquitita, hur är det fatt?

TANJA
Säg hur kan du va så ledsen?

KARIN/TANJA
Tårar på din kind
Är det kanske bröllopsstressen?

TANJA
Det är svårt att se dig såhär

KARIN
Inget lurar riktiga vänner

TANJA
Jag kan se
Att det är nåt tungt du känner

KARIN/TANJA
Chiquitita, säg va det är
Snälla, du kan väl berätta
Dela allt med mig

TANJA/KARIN
Du är dans
Du är sång
Natten blir aldrig för lång
Oh, sjutton år
Du är fin
Diggin' the Dancing Queen

Allt kan hända en fredagkväll
Letar efter nåt speciellt
Som kan höra musiken
Träffa samma ton
Väcka din inspiration

TANJA
Du är drottning och han är kung
Varm är natten och den är ung
Kropparna och musiken
Allting här och nu

DONNA/TANJA/KARIN
Super Trouper
Strålar ska få se mig
Just så som jag är
I mitt livs konsert
Det vet jag för att du är här

DONNA
Allt var bara kallt och grått och trist
När jag ringde igår från Gränna
Dålig mat och resor och till sist
Bara ville jag vara hemma
Jag blir lycklig av att veta att du kommer
Dom vet om på mitt hotell

SAM
Var är vår glädje nu
Kan inte hitta den
Jag vill ju öppna mig
Men du har stängt igen
Vart gjorde vi av känslorna
Vi hade för varann
Jag vägrar tro att kärlek bara blir till sand

När du är nära
Hör du inte kära
S.O.S
Jag vill förstå dig
Säg hur ska jag nå dig
S.O.S
Om du går
Bara tanken är svinlande svår
Om du går
Mycket svårare än du förstår
