I'm a man who has a hard time expressing his feelings in "real life" (which are undoubtedly there), but with certain songs like this song the tears just come uncontrollably.
Don't apologize for true emotions.. There is something very innocent about Abba that hits hard today. I cried too. Packing my childhood home after my father died a while a go. Remembering my mother and me dancing in the kitchen listening to Abba. As a Swede born in the early1970 Abba's music has always been a part of my Swedish identity.
Oh, beautiful lady. Although I hate to see you cry, it demonstrates how powerful this song is. That's why your followers love you. Your reactions are honest. Love and blessings, pretty Empress. ❤
When ABBA released the song in 1979, they made a special commitment to donate all royalties from "Chiquitita" to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The band wanted to use the song's success to support children's welfare and humanitarian causes around the world. The song became a part of a broader effort by ABBA to raise awareness and funds for UNICEF, and as a result, the royalties generated from "Chiquitita" were channeled to support the organization's work. So far, in the beginning of 2025 this song alone has channeled 55 million dollars to United nation Children fund and abused girls in Guatamale. Chiquitita is Little Girl in Spanish.
Fifty percent of the proceeds from the song go to UNICEF in recognition of the "International Year of the Child" in 1979. In 2014, all ABBA members agreed on increasing their donation to 100% of all royalties from the song to UNICEF. As of 2021, the song's royalties had raised $4.8 million for the charity.
In the early morning hours on a bicycle, the fresh country air on my face between tulips and windmills In Holland and the little radio was playing ABBA songs, a nice memory of last year's holiday. 🌺
Little girl in Spanish, from sad to soaring hope and joy. A christmas special for UNICEF - which explains the lyrics, and much of the royalties going to the children's charity. ABBA had a unique and extremely recognisable sound - and still do! Beautiful song.
What a wonderful and authentic react! Thanks for that, Empress... and so nice to see you again 😃! An hope anthem of ABBA 👌 For more hapinness, please try: 'Voulez vous' (Do you want?) Take care... ✌️ Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗😘👍
I'm so glad to see you for first Time with eaction to ABBA songs Chiquitita" (1979) means 'very 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 almost all ABBA songs "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, 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 & Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence It allows us to check how excellent singers the blonde Agnetha & the brunette 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, just 45 years ago!) 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) 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 to "Fernando" (1976) with the brunete singer Frida in lead voice GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South América
Thank you so much for taking out time to write this lengthy comment 😊 I'll be listening/reacting to "Fernando" soon. Please subscribe and turn "On" your post notifications 😘
Abba just had that amazing knack of writing joyous songs that are also incredibly emotional. Growing up, I always this was a little twee/old-fashioned, but now it is one of my favourites. I love the way it effortlessly switches from folk ballad to oompah band and back again! Empress, if you ever get the chance to come to London, you MUST see Abba Voyage. I saw it earlier this year and it absolutely blew me away. So many people in the audience were crying (and smiling!)
Originally, this was called "In The Arms Of Rozellita." Bjorn Ulvaeus, who wrote the song, liked the title but couldn't find a matching story, so it became "Chiquitita." ABBA performed this song in 1979 at the Music for UNICEF Concert. ABBA donated half the proceeds from the song to UNICEF. Chiquitita, in Spanish, means "Very Little Girl." To facilitate a breakthrough in South America, ABBA recorded a Spanish-language version of this song, despite the fact the band had never learned the language. The Swedes sang the song phonetically and their efforts enhanced their popularity in a number of Latin America countries.
I love it when you're reacting; I always did! Please consider Tommy Johansson when he does "Hallelujah"-or/and the marvelous Tommy doing Abba's "The Winner Takes It All. " It's a tremendous version by him! With love, from Sweden =)
Hello dear beautiful lady, well, your face just said it all like always ! Abba are indeed musical maestros and often display themselves as musical masters of melancholy with songs like 'The Winner Takes It All', or 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', 'One Of Us", but whatever the theme they choose, it's always so wonderful and melodic. 'Thank You For The Music" that one is more happy! Enjoy and thank you for your reaction once more ❣
Its so lovely to see your beautiful face back on reacting again, you have the biggest smile and the best teeth on the internet!❤❤❤❤ Abba and the Beatles are the two best bands ever Great reaction, Empress
The music ease your daily pain. I hope you are ok. There is hope and people who cares. Take care. Thank you for your nice reactions. Greeting from Sweden
Just wonderful! Every piece of music Abba produced was done perfectly, including production, arrangement and of course performance. Their music was the closest thing to perfection I can recall listening to. Even an instrumental, " Arrival ", was just a joy to listen to. I'm so glad you enjoyed this, beautiful lady. I wish you rainbows.
Don't apologize, it's common to be touched by ABBA. If you want to check out other ABBA-songs about children and parenthood I suggest 'Slipping Through My Fingers' (the 1981 live version is the best) or 'Keep An Eye On Dan' (2021). Two very different songs but still very - ABBA.
Your reactions are so heartfelt. I am sure you have a beautiful soul. You should look into Helen Sjöholm "Du måste finnas" Make sure to get the lyrics translated. It will surely make you get into your feels. 😊
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 So so happy to see 👀 you back, sunshine 🌞 🌞🌞🌞🌞 Really like to see your reaction to "ST-Paul and the broken bones " Live studio performance ( our vinyl session) Song is 🎵🎵🎶 Grass is greener 🎵 🎶 You gonna adore this song my friend Keep the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌 ❤
Thank you! I'm definitely checking that out cos you're now the second person to mention that. Please turn "On" your post notifications so that you can be notified when I upload it. 😊
You can check it out but I believe ABBA didn't make any money from this particular song. All money made was made for charity and that includes royalties for however long it keeps coming in. As far as I know anyway.
I am sure that ABBA do not want you to react to their song, since you previously did a crying reaction to Russian war propaganda; Shaman. Both Björn and Benny (ABBA) are very much against Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, so please delete the reaction of this ABBA video! Björn and Benny would agree with me.
I'm a man who has a hard time expressing his feelings in "real life" (which are undoubtedly there), but with certain songs like this song the tears just come uncontrollably.
Now 73 and still love ABBA. From New Zealand, December 2024.

Agnetha’s expressions kill me every time I watch this song ……. She would be an amazing actress
Oh, beautiful lady. Although I hate to see you cry, it demonstrates how powerful this song is. That's why your followers love you. Your reactions are honest. Love and blessings, pretty Empress. ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Never be sorry for the emotions that beautiful music inspires you to feel.

An incredibly beautiful song. And an incredibly beautiful Empress. Keep exploring ABBA's catalogue.
Sure, some persons suggested "Fernando" and "Sos". Can't wait to check that out 😊 Thanks 😘

Oh wow! Amazing!
This song comes from a time when the world was a better place. That's why i get emotional watching stuff like this.
As a young boy, I loved this song. I am 55 years old now and still love it❤😊😊😊
Little girl in Spanish, from sad to soaring hope and joy. A christmas special for UNICEF - which explains the lyrics, and much of the royalties going to the children's charity. ABBA had a unique and extremely recognisable sound - and still do! Beautiful song.
They actually handed UNICEF the full rights to this song so all royalties (including writer's royalties) went to the charity.
What a wonderful and authentic react!
Thanks for that, Empress... and so nice to see you again 😃!
An hope anthem of ABBA 👌
For more hapinness, please try:
'Voulez vous' (Do you want?)
Take care... ✌️
Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗😘👍
Aww! Thank you so much 🤗
I know the song. I love the song. The song is most excellent.
But, GOD, you're beautiful.
A nice lady reacting to a beautiful song. What a way to start the day on a positive note! Keep reacting to ABBA. Well done.
Thank you so much ❤️
I'm so glad to see you for first Time
with eaction to ABBA songs
Chiquitita" (1979)
means 'very 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 almost all ABBA songs
"Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, 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 & Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence

"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)
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 to
"Fernando" (1976)
with the brunete singer Frida in lead voice
GOD bless you and stay safe
My best regards from
Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷

Thank you so much for taking out time to write this lengthy comment 😊 I'll be listening/reacting to "Fernando" soon.

One of the most beautiful songs one can hear. Just beautiful.
their songs are painful and joyous at the same time
Keep ’em coming! 👍🏻 please give ”slipping through my fingers” a try 🙏🏻 beautiful song!
The songwriting and harmony making of this band was absolutely stunning. I love them so very much.

Abba Voyage? Wow! This is something I would definitely want to see. ❤️❤️❤️

The winner takes it all
This is the ABBA song that I love the most. What great masterpiece

Don't apologize, it's common to be touched by ABBA. If you want to check out other ABBA-songs about children and parenthood I suggest 'Slipping Through My Fingers' (the 1981 live version is the best) or 'Keep An Eye On Dan' (2021). Two very different songs but still very - ABBA.
"Chiquitita" is a loving Spanish word for a little girl. And it's SO great to sea you again, Empress! 🙂Don't cry, sing a new song!! 🙂🙂

I remember back then reading news about Britney Spears and her struggles. And the song that came to my mind was Chiquitita.
My absolute favourite track ever.
You got a great taste in music 👍
Your reactions are so heartfelt. I am sure you have a beautiful soul. You should look into Helen Sjöholm "Du måste finnas" Make sure to get the lyrics translated. It will surely make you get into your feels. 😊
Brilliant reaction. Thankyou

I saw them live in concert in 1979
