Letra de
Waterloo

Waterloo é uma música da banda sueca ABBA, que venceu o Festival Eurovisão da Canção de 1974. A canção marca um ponto de viragem na carreira da banda, representando seu primeiro sucesso internacional e levando-os ao estrelato. A música foi inspirada pela batalha de Waterloo, fazendo uma analogia entre a batalha homônima, onde Napoleão Bonaparte foi derrotado, e os sentimentos de uma pessoa rendendo-se a outra no amor.

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
Wo-wo-wo, wo-wo, 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
Wo-wo-wo, wo-wo, Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo (So how )

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
Wo-wo-wo, wo-wo, Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wo-wo-wo, wo-wo, Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
