來自“ABBA”(1975/Polydor) 專輯的第四張單曲為“Mamma Mia”﹐ 也是該專輯最後一張單曲﹐想不到會把 ABBA 受歡迎的程度﹐再推一級。

Mamma Mia (1975/Polar/Polydor) Track List:
01 Mamma Mia
02 Intermezzo Nr. 1

Mamma Mia 在英國推出﹐經過兩個月後終於榮登榜首﹐也是他們自 Waterloo 之後的第2張冠軍單曲﹐而美國方面﹐也得到 Billboard 第32位﹐還有在愛爾蘭﹑瑞士﹑德國皆成為冠軍歌。不過最厲害卻是澳洲﹐得到11個星期冠軍﹐帶來 ABBA 熱潮﹐難怪往後電影 Muriel’s Wedding (1994) 劇情中﹐女角那麼受 ABBA 的音樂影響。Mamma Mia 也於1999年成為倫敦一套音樂劇的劇名﹐而且劇中採用了多首 ABBA 歌曲。

Mamma Mia 其後有一個西班牙版本﹐收錄於“Gracias Por La Música”(1980/Polar/Septima) 專輯中﹐而 B Side 的 Intermezzo No.1﹐是一首純音樂作品﹐據稱自1975年起﹐經常在 ABBA 演唱會中被採用。

I've been cheated by you since I don't 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
My, my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been broken-hearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
And when you go when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong
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
My, my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been broken-hearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye, bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye, bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been broken-hearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

距離千禧不遠﹐瑞典年輕組合A*Teens出版了一張向 ABBA致敬的專輯“The ABBA Generation”(1999/ Stockholm)﹐ 翻唱了11首 ABBA大熱金曲﹐頗受歡迎﹐然而筆者覺得雖然把歌曲 Update了﹐可是卻像沒有靈魂的口水歌。

Mamma Mia﹕原收錄於“The ABBA Generation”(1999/Stockholm) 專輯中。此曲得到瑞典流行榜冠軍達8星期﹐英國則到第12位。
