I’m willing to bet that Agnetha and Frida could sing in Klingon and it would come out perfect.
Elvish too lol!
You mean this wasn't Klingon?
😂😂😂
@@leventetanka754 🤘🤘🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😉😉😉😉
Amen.
Their ability to sing perfectly and beautifully in multiple languages is astounding.
im bilingual and this version is twice as good as the English version ...massive hit in Mexico in the 80s
Yes the Spanish version is another level.
Both versions are great but I also prefer the Spanish version. The lyrics have a more poetic feel in Spanish and gives the song a better flow.
En toda Latinoamerica!!! En Argentina,Chile y Perú.Muy escuchados!!
I prefer the Spanish version. It just hits different
As it was in Puerto Rico as well. I prefer the Spanish version to the English one. Beautiful.
This was not a big surprise that they would make a Spanish version of this song,,,,,, since "Chiquitita" is a Spanish word. 🥰🎼 It was #1 on the charts of Mexico, for 32 straight weeks❗❗💖💥 People were singing this song from their balconies during their lockdown in Madrid (Spain). 😟
which lockdown?
@@thehoogard the Corona virus lockdown. People in Madrid are singing this song in their balconies.
@@thehoogard I'm sure you are aware that Spain was hard hit by the current pandemic,,,😳
@@bachatamusica Yes, but his wording made it sound like a lockdown long ago, which confused me.
@@thehoogard I understand 👍🙂
Their pronunciation in Spanish is also perfect.
bueno, es bastante mejorable, pero lo importante es que lo intentan
@@ElenaGarcia-lv7wh Bastante mejorable?es admirable lo que hacen...Abba logro lo que muchos grupos en Ingles no logran. Mejorar la version original en Ingles!!! Para muchos es MEJOR esta version en ESPAÑOL. Otra cosa es que este grupo canto sus canciones en 5 idiomas:que otro grupo ha logrado hacer eso?...Salvo The Beatles...creo que ningun otro.
@@ElenaGarcia-lv7wh yo les entiendo bastante bien.
La pronunciación es 99,99 % perfecta. Pronuntiation in Spanish is 99,99 % perfect
@@1978hugogaston I agree with you. How many people could do that? I mean if their accent is 95% close or more, I wouldn't complain at all. It's amazing. They did an amazing job. I am surprised that they could even do what they did. Amazing.
The Spanish version moves me the most too, always makes me cry😪
They were UNICEF ambassadors and all the proceedings of this song in every language still goes to the UNICEF fight against child famine❤
50% to UNICEF, 50% to ABBA...
I totally agree with the Spanish version seeming more intimate. This version of the song sounds so natural and original that you could mistake them for a Spanish-only group. So beautiful.
Also found it incredible that Björn would just go on both Spanish and German tv and just do the interview in their language. When I saw it I was just like huh???
Two of the finest female singers in over forty years
I love the Spanish version. First time hearing this song in Spanish and they nailed it. Bravo.
The words sound more melodic like it was always supposed to in Spanish
It's amazing they are Swedish and sing so well not only in English but also Spanish
Las cantantes de ABBA eran unas genias, su pronunciación es excelente.
I hadn't listened to the spanish version before. It was well worth it. Thank you.
ABBA recorded songs in five languages. Most of ABBA's songs were recorded in English. They recorded 4 songs in Swedish, three in German, one in French and 15 in Spanish.
They are an amazing super group
German and French? Which ones? Are they recorded? on UA-cam?
@@user-mv6he6gl8m As far as I know, they recorded Waterloo and Ring Ring in French. In German, I know for sure they also recorded Ring Ring. And in Swedish they recorded Waterloo and Honey Honey. All of those I have them in an special collectors album I bought decades ago called "ABBA Thank you for the Music" that consists of 4 CDs.
@@BTSandra Thanks. So it was their early eurovision songs. I sence Stikkan Andersson the master promoter behind this:)
@@BTSandra they also recorded ring ring and Fernando in Swedish
Su español bastante bien pronunciado, unas voces realmente privilegiadas, crecí con esa música, uno de los grupos que marcó una época dorada de la música, grandes
The magic for me is the combination of those two magical voices. Just magnificent.
their spanish accent is amazing! It sounds really native...
aside from the letter "r" but all English speakers struggle with that as well
@@AutotuneSucksBalls me gustaria pronunciar el inglés comme ellas pronuncian el castellano!
People in Nordic countries are exposed to multiple languages from a young age so they develop an affinity for foreign pronunciation. In Swedish they roll their "Rs" too (except in the south of the country) so it's not as difficult as it is for pure Anglophones. Add the fact that they're all so musically gifted, and therefore have highly developed ears, and it's not surprising that their Spanish accent is decent. My favorite ABBA song in any language.
Both of these women are fantastic vocalists in their own right but, when they harmonize, I think they created a sound unlike anything the world had ever heard before. Just magical!
@@AutotuneSucksBalls They are Swedish, which is an advantage
This Spanish version of Chiquitita was a number #1 hit in most if not all of Latin America.
Everything they did was just pure perfection
This song sounds so much more beautiful in Spanish. Great song, great band.
Spanish is the best languages.
They singing in a perfect Spanish. Beautiful!!! ❤️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️❤️
♥️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️♥️
Estoy encantada, había olvidado lo bonita que era la.musica de mi infancia.
En inglés es igual de bonita y emotiva
@Marvin Morawski La letra en la version español no es 100% traducida del Ingles. Es mas directa, y por eso es mas impactante (y llega mas al corazon) que la version en Ingles.
Well, it's the greatest pop group in history, arguably in competition with the Beatles. Of course they could do it in Spanish.
they wer head n shoulders better than the beatles.. ABBA ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL!
Better than the Beatles
Yes, They should be warned ahead :)
@@hyLNK I think both ABBA and The Beatles had their own success and their own uniqueness.
Cannot really compare.
Though ABBA has always been my favorite band forever.
Truth
Mi amiga casi hermana estaba sufriendo por su tortuoso divorcio, la encontré muy triste y le dediqué esta canción. El tiempo ha pasado como su dolor y ahora es feliz y mas cada vez que escucha esta canción 🥹
Hermosa canción, y lo seguirá siendo por siempre !!!!
Yes...I absolutely love this version. I fell in love 🥰 this group when I was 11 years old after hearing “SOS” on American Band Stand. I bought the Record and played it constantly. It made my dad disgusted with my Musical choice back then, I memorized his Rock n Roll and Country as well. So now I listen to a whole genre of music. I’m an international music 🎶 lover now but ABBAs Songs are timeless to me. Fernando is also beautiful in Spanish. Thank you for posting this Reaction. 🙇🏻♀️🔍🎤❤️🎶💎‼️
S.O.S. is a Greatest ABBA song
❤ grandiosa la version en español
The lyrics are so beautiful in Spanish, I enjoy this version a lot more than the English version.
All 4 member are highly talented, ABBA are the Initial of their names: Agnetha (blonde), Benny (Piano), Björn (Guitar) and Anni-Frid called Frida (brunette), Björn and Benny are the genius Songwriter of all ABBA Songs, and each of them were big Stars in Sweden befor ABBA, and all realesed Solo Albums before and after ABBA, S.O.S was a Single for Agnetha in swedish, and then they made it for ABBA in english, the same for Frida with Fernado (swedish Version), from her phantastic swedish Solo Album Frida Ensam. Love your reactions and go on with ABBA, there are so much!
S.O.S. was recorded first by ABBA in August 1974 and was included in their third album ABBA, released April 1975
Agnetha recorded S.O.S. in Swedish for her solo album (in Swedish), released after ABBA album
There has never been a song translated so well into spanish. It's almost better in spanish!
Whatever language this legendry group sing in they blow all the rest of the so called big groups away
They were truly so special! Frida is a metzo soprano, Agnetha (pronounced Ag-net-ha) a soprano and yes, their voices together were just magic!
My Dreamgirl Agnetha, so brilliant. Love love love ❤💋❤💋
The smile on your face when they begin singing the first chorus pretty much says it all!
This is music made for minds of swedish genius .
Now this one song is in the spanish language singing .
All they are so genius the ABBA members .
The largest selling single in Latin America . It was madly hitting the charts back in 1979 so a Spanish version was sent from Latin America and they recorded it in Spanish. The huge success of the song came with a whole album with hits in Spanish and after that album 2 songs in Spanish were included for Latin America in the 2 next and last albums. Nowadays all the 15 songs in Spanish conforms the ABBA ORO cd
Abba signed over the royalties for this song (all language versions) to UNICEF it still raises money for them today
ABBA SONGS WORK IN EVERY LANGUAGE. A 1000 CONGRATULATIONS TO ABBA FOR A 1000 WEEKS ON UK CHART WITH ABBA GOLD. CELEBRATING BY PLAYING ALL 8 ABBA STUDIO ALBUMS WHILE DRINKING PINK CHAMPAGNE, CHEERS 🥂🥂🥂🥂
Gosh, Frida looks soooo lovely and joyous, one of her very best looks!
@@Amarylis185 Yes, ahhhh Agentha, that voice, her gorgeous looks and how at times she'd look into the camera and give that smile smirk with twinkle in her eyes.
Even the English songs are in their second language.
And this is in their fifth language, so to speak, after Swedish, English, German and French.
@@herrbonk3635 but they didn't sing any songs in Portuguese. 😟 (my original language)
Bjorn speaks perfect English as does benny the girls struggled with english at first but did master it agnetha had some hits in her early days with some German songs all on you tube ! .
This is my personal favourite ABBA song, in English, Spanish or Swedish it’s just an amazing track ……. The beat once the chorus kicks in is just perfect…….. can’t say more than that. 🎵🎷🎼🎶🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥃🥃🏴🏴🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 NMHRK x
¡¡¡lncreible la pronunciación!!!
Lo mismo se aplica cuando cantan en inglés, probablemente porque no están cantando en su primer idioma, su dicción es inmaculada.
The same applies when they sing in English, probably because they're not singing in their first language, their diction is immaculate.
Hermosa versión en español Dereck ♥️🅰️🅱️🅱️🅰️♥️
These ladies sing angel-like in Spanish, In any language, actually.
Multi-lingual ABBA - superb in every way.
Reaccionas muy bien a las canciones.
Saludos desde Spain...
Thank you Dereck for commenting this beautyful song. ABBA has spended this song as a gift to UNICEF for children. And UICEF still makes money (since 1979) to help children in the world... That's great is'n t it ? The original (spanish) version from ABBA is way beter than de cover from Cher ;-)
Hello Dereck!
I am from Argentina
when ABBA premiered "Chiquitita" at the UNICEF Concert here, it was followed on television and "Chiquitita" was ABBA's first great success in Argentina
How it was also successful in Mexico and other Latin American countries ABBA decided to record it in Spanish
And the success was greater in the Hispanic American public, including Spain (there is that presentation, for the show "300 million")
The adaptation of the lyrics into Spanish was made by the Argentine brothers McCluscky
It is not an exact translation, in fact in the original third stanza (the first after the chorus) the adaptation in Spanish does not make it and repeats that of the first stanza
For this reason, part of the spirit of the song is lost And the effusive singing of the second chorus with the lyrics that precedes it remains a little misplaced.
This is not the fault of ABBA but of the person who did not complete the adaptation
ABBA already makes an extraordinary effort that I believe no other group of similar level did:
leave their mother tongue (which is also not English) and sing in several languages foreign to their culture and ideosyncracy, and do so with respect, professionalism and quality
From what I said before, prefer ABBA singing "Chiquitita" in English, but admit that they do it well in Spanish.
Agnetha's voices in spanish is sweet and lovely, and She's so charismatic
GOD bless you and Happy New Year
👏👏👏👏
Alto traductor man xd
All voices are beautiful, specially, when they sing together.
This is probably one of my favorite ABBA reactions, EVER!!
The English version was a hit in South America, a husband and wife : Buddy & Mary Mckluskey wrote the lyrics in Spanish, Buddy worked for ABBA’s record company RCA in Argentina, it was the record company who contacted ABBA and recommend a Spanish version, as They saw its potential.
Buddy & Mary travelled to Stockholm to assist with the pronunciation and diction.
The Spanish album the following year is beautiful, and was very popular in Japan, reaching No3 in some chart (may be foreign chart) and allegedly selling 80,000 copies (according to official Abba magazine.)
Another good review!!
los McClusky son una saga de musicos y cantantes argentinos: Donald cantante muy reconocido en los años 70 y Alex que fue el segundo manager de Luis Miguel
Si,yo habia leido de que unos Argentinos habian hecho la traduccion de muchas de las canciones de Abba al Español. Muy pocos conocen este detalle!
Traumhaft in spanisch gesungen von Agnetha and Frida 💖💖💖💖
They are truly AMAZING I was fortunate to have grown up in that era .. best memories 👍🏻
Enjoying all your ABBA reactions. I've had a great time looking at them and you reacting. This is a brilliant vid - never seen or heard the Spanish version before.
awesome review .. I loved the spanish rendition .. the pronunciation of the words too was really good as well..
They could sing Klingon and make sound gorgeous!
I didn't think I could love this song even more. LOVE this song in spanish.
Que añoranza de la infancia!! 😍😍😍 Preciosa canción
My language is Spanish but I love it both in English and in Spanish!
I would love you to react to Angeleyes, When All Is Said And Done, I Wonder (Departure), Money Money Money, One Of Us, That's Me.
Thank you for all your reactions!
Yesss Angeleyes
Wow , ABBA's a Pop Group extraordinary in the world , and very talented with songs in various languages . Super Cool .
Chiquitita = Little Girl .
Brilliant , magnificent , I love ABBA !!!
Genial , magnifico , Amo ABBA !!! 👍🏻💙
💎💎💎🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶📱🎧😏
Por siempre los mejores en el mundo .
The Biggest Pop Group of all times in the World for me . What a quality , level , standar and world cathegory .
Pure beauty , inspiration and super talent .
Totally amazing, gut wrenching song even though I do not speak Spanish.
Los idiomas latinos son bellos: español, italiano, francés.
Las LENGUAS ROMANCES.
Claro no olvidemos también el portugués!
Dereck is an Agnetha groupie! Welcome to Abba fandom. I digged Frida more.
Sie sind beide toll. Punkt! Kann doch jeder seine Favoritin haben. Frida als auch Agnetha sind grandios ❣️❣️♥️♥️
Mega talented ! ❤
Sou do Brasil. E como é bom ver o ABBA cantando em espanhol q é próximo do português. Já dá p sentir como seria boa a versão em Português.
Spanich is perfects, portugués no
No se por que? pero con esta canción se me hace un nudo en la garganta, me trae melancolía, esta es la primera canción que conocí de Abba cuando era un niño, que recuerdo tan agradables me trae esta canción cuando lo escuchaba mi mamá, hermosa canción gracias, SALUDOS DESDE CHILE.
So gratifying to see a younger generation listening to ABBA and appreciating their talent and genius👍
Your facial reactions during this vid were priceless. I really was curious to see how you’d respond particularly given your fluency in Spanish. There were times during the vid when it was evident by your smile and the way you lit up that you were feeling this song. If you haven’t already done a video for the Spanish version of Fernando I would love to see how you’d react to that. I’m sure you probably already know this, but, in case you don’t, they have an album of the hits they did in Spanish called “Gracias Por La Musica” which of course includes “Chiquitita”
I know 2:22 when he looks at the camera. It made my heart light up!
The Spanish lyrics of the song are so well constructed that it seemed as if the whole song was originally made in Spanish. When Agnetha begins to sing it seems that Benny is creatively improvising the piano accompaniment as an example of dexterity. The final piano coda is also a happy celebration from someone who has finally found consolation by means of these wise words and nice music. Intimacy phrases, technical perfection, and complete musical mastery were scarcely heard in Spanish pop then. It was ABBA N° 1 in Latin America in 1979 and the opening song of the group's success there since then.
Such a triumphant finish.
Dear Dereck, "another singer" is Anni-Frid Lyngstad, shortly called Frida. Easy to remember. My favourite member of Abba, world-class lady, singing like an angel, stunning beauty. Spanish language fits well Abbas music. Because I'm Nordic , and we have tons of blonde girls here, for me Frida was exotic one of Abba. But anyway, she's very scandinavian, roots in Norway and Sweden. You like 80's music, so please react Frida's solo number Something's going on, it's dramatic performance, it goes rock with electric guitar and Phil Collins in drums, sound is more 80's than 80's itself!
Frida was emigrating to Sweden with her grandmother when she was one year old -
amazing by Abba, no one can match they're harmonisation
It was amazing, yes! Words were even better translated into spanish! That´s no usual, I know... but this is the one and only case
Se ve en tu cara que te gusta, Dereck. A mi también. Es música de nivel TOP. Si, amigo, lo hacen tan bien como lo compusieron y como lo interpretaron en inglés. (el inglés NO es su idioma. Ellos hablan en SUECO) En fin, amigo... me gusta lo que haces, pero no te cortes nunca! Tu lo haces, lo descubres, lo traes a este tiempo... Es muchísimo mérito tuyo, amigo. Believe it or not! 🙂
Touched by inspiration . Amazing voices ! And on top of that, singing in my mother tongue 🤩
The funny thing is that they don't even know how perfect they are
ABBA The Swedish Supergroup are one of the greatest pop group`s in history, They are Growing by Talent in Every way - Living legend`s - Classic by Quality and thus ABBA music are classic are ABBA similar to Mozart, Beethoven Bach but in POP Music - unstoppable quality - People will surely listen to ABBA in 100 years
Beautiful,hermoso! I have chills.
Speechless, so beautiful and I dont even understand Spanish. True joy and love 😍
Muy importante en aquella epoca poder ganarse al publico español cantando en su lengua. Ellos son compositores, voces y musica alucinantes. El festival de Eurovision que ganaron los llevo a la fama. Los mejores: Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Waterloo y mas.
This song always makes me cry.... beautiful song. Thank you!!
Funny, I've always thought both "Fernando" and "Chiquitita" were somehow friends in the ABBA universe. :)
Simplemente hermoso 🤩
" LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME " .... there is no video for this but you can still react to the audio
That is what ABBA sound is. No one can copy their sound.
I'm English but I prefer the Spanish version anyday 😁😁🥰
Yes love this i have the whole Spanish album amazing
Me encantan!! Saludos desde Chile..
Anche tu ragazzo 6 meraviglioso ❤grazie
The message is precious! Written for children for UNICEF.
🧡 ABBA!
You young thing missed the experience of this era with MTV and VH-1. No home computers, no internet, no UA-cam. I'm happy to have UA-cam and these presentations now. Though the memories linger and are triggered with videos like this.
I love your reactions. You always bring a unique insight into songs and videos. When are you going to do 'Take A Chance On Me'? That's iconic!!
Abba vi adoro ❤sempre Abba stupendo grazie ❤
The story goes that this was Frida and Agnetha's brainchild. They took some (few) spanish lessons and then they were singing in fluent spanish. As if you weren't amazed of ABBA before then this is your moment.
Love this reaction video
Thank you so so much for giving us your perspective, its really important that these guys get so much positivity after 40 years. Thank you so much for your review (much love brother)
Bro, listen to me. This was hands down your best reaction video. I don't know but a few phrases in Spanish but I enjoyed the hell out of this because of you. Thank you. Beautiful.
I agree
quiero verte sonreir porque quiero comartir tu allegria, chiquitita, Dios Mio qhw bonita cancion
In Spanish it is more beautiful and more appropriate than in English.
Chiquitita dime por qué
tu dolor hoy te encadena
que en tus ojos hay ,una sombra de gran pena.
No quisiera verte así
aunque quieras disimularlo
si es que tan triste estás
para que quieres callarlo.
Chiquitita dímelo tú,
en mi hombro aquí llorando.
Cuenta conmigo ya
Para así seguir hablando
tan segura te conocí y
Ahora tu ala quebrada
Déjamela arreglar yo la quiero ver curada.
Chiquitita sabes muy bien
que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen
otra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz
como flores que florecen
Chiquitita no hay que llorar
las estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto
quiero verte sonreír para compartir
tu alegría Chiquitita
Otra vez quiero compartir tu alegría Chiquitita
Chiquitita dime por qué
tu dolor hoy te encadena
en tus ojos hay una sombra de gran pena
no quisiera verte así
aunque quieras disimularlo
si es que tan triste estás
para quieres callarlo
Chiquitita sabes muy bien
que las penas vienen y van y desaparecen
otra vez vas a bailar y serás feliz
como flores que florecen
Chiquita no hay que llorar
las estrellas brillan por ti allá en lo alto
quiero verte sonreír para compartir tu alegría Chiquitita
otra vez quiero compartir tu alegría Chiquitita
otra vez quiero compartir tu alegría Chiquitita.
You might want to react to "the other singer's" (Frida) big hit "I Know There's Something Going On"...produced by Phil Collins. It went to #13 in the U.S. charts, was in Heavy Rotation on MTV back in 1983 and a big hit worldwide (#5 in Australia...#1 in France etc). Thank You
En Puerto Rico eran bien populares y “quemaron” esa canción por la radio. Muchas veces baile la música de ellos en las discotecas.
Agnetha una vez dijo que le gustaba más en español por que es un idioma más melódico. No, no sabían español y aprendieron a cantarlo por fonética.
