De qué habla
Una mujer compara su rendición ante el amor con la derrota de Napoleón en Waterloo: ha intentado resistirse, pero él ha sido más fuerte y ahora acepta su destino. Lejos de lamentarlo, siente que al perder también gana. Con ella ABBA ganó el festival de 1974 en Brighton.
Letra
My my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself
Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo – couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo – finally facing my Waterloo
My my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo – I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo – promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo – couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo – finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo – couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo – finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh... Waterloo – knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo – finally facing my Waterloo
