    NO one does melodies and harmonies like Abba!

    The narrative of the song is extremely simple: An older woman is comforting a younger woman....Chiquitita - Little One....who has suffered a heartbreak and encouraging her to rise above it and regain her former joy. It really is just astoundingly obvious. Really.

    '"Fernando" - by Abba is one of my favorites.... "Take a Chance on Me"..... also.

    i'm so glad to see you with reaction to ABBA
    several things to say about "Chiquitita" (1979)
    Chiquitita" means 'little girl' (with affection) in spanish And the melody have a spanish tune, specialy by the acustic guitar But the center is the wonderful piano, like the most ABBA songs
    "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, a masterpiece ; it has hopeful lyrics,
    a melody that starts very soft with the blonde Agnetha's solo,
    then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus;
    Agnetha and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence
    It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha & Frida are
    and what harmonies of excellence they achieve.
    It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables
    with great quality and beauty
    "Chiquitita" was premiered especially for the UNICEF Concert (January 9, 1979)
    and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF
    "Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America,
    that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish,
    and its success was so extraordinary
    that in the following year ABBA recorded a full album with their best songs entirely in Spanish
    ("Chiquitita" in Spanish is the biggest ABBA hit in My country Argentina)
    Chiquitita" is in the Top 3 of all ABBA worldwide biggest hits,
    with 'Dancing Queen" and "Fernando", and it's a fantastic Masterpiece
    These official video was filmed in Swizterland 1979 (ABBA goes for a TV Special)
    that´s why there's a snowman there
    It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden
    I hope to see you soon in another ABBA song
    my next suggestion is "Fernando " (1976) or "Súper Trouper" (1980)
    with the brunette singer Frida in lead voice
    GOD bless you and stay safe
    My best regards from
    Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
    South América

    No cover would beat Abba's original.That's kind of irreplaceable though CHER did a fantastic job to this classic and fit great to her peculiar voice.

    Chiquitita means Tiny little girl (with tenderness, in spanish)
    (maybe a girl between 8 and 15 years old...)
    Great react 👌
    Hey... ABBA has a HUGE Catalog to explore... (Hit after hit... The best pop ever made)
    Really you don't know 'Dancing Queen' or 'Mamma Mia'?
    'Money money money'?
    Well... I hope to see you soon
    Greetings ❤ from Chile 🇨🇱👍

    I have yet to hear anyone react to a song who has taken the trouble to READ the lyrics before listening. I am wondering why that is. Nevertheless, nice reaction. Edit: Just watched your reaction to the cover version. I cannot BELIEVE that you did not bother to look up what "Chiquitita" meant after that one, or read the lyrics then to find out what you had listened to!

    I think "Chiquitita" means little girl in Spanish.

  • @jackhammer2810
    @jackhammer2810 11 місяців тому +1

    Chiquitita is spanish for little girl. At the time this song was written Björn Ulvaeus, the man with the guitar, and Agnetha Fältskog, the blond girl, was married to each other and their marriage was starting to fall apart. The rumor has it that the lyrics is about their daughter when they noticed she had noticed something was wrong. This is something Björn denies of course. By the way, the other two in Abba was also a couple.

      @@helenpeterson Because there is people out there that believe the rumour is true. I think it's important to tell those who maybe have read or heard Agnetha and Björns story that this song isn't about their daughter.

    So many of ABBA’s songs deal with relationships and, in particular, breakups. I would take this one at face value. Consoling a friend or family member who has suffered a loss of some sort - death, breakup, bad news - and a reminder that things will get better and there are good times ahead.
