ABBA - The Piper with Lyrics

[@Danhtran1122]

This song and the music always make me think about castles of Europe with Kings and Queens and Knights of the middle age.

[@CarlosMartinez-tn7hd]

I got exactly the same impression...

[@tsepisomofolo2680]

Lucky are those who lived in the Times of ABBA

[@ingokupler8687]

as long as i live, there will be ABBA. The Beatles and MOTÖRHEAD. And ACDC.

[@dorojessy6932]

...and Judas Priest ;-)

[@dc8631]

I listened to the radio a lot back in the early 70s. I remember hearing Fernando, SOS, etc, and thinking, "Man, that ABBA sure has a different sound than all the others!"

[@kehindeadetiloye3796]

So is Tsepiso Mofolo! They are still around both electronically and physically.

[@malinlundstrom644]

I did

[@ael523]

When I heard this song on the radio first time back in 1980 I went straight to the record shop the following day and bought the Super Trouper album. Good memories.....

[@goliver1967]

ael523 the same more or less the same year :-)

[@dorojessy6932]

Same here.

[@leblonocean6781]

Ain't it a wonderful time of our lives?

[@wutyi7690]

@@leblonocean6781 right

[@marie-louiseschofield3506]

I have got the Super Trouper LP both personalized and signed by ABBA themselves.

[@franciskintu6524]

Myth and fantasy wrapped themselves in lyrics so dreamily catchy that they transport you to a land of magic.

[@ДобрыепесниСергей]

Талант! Золото эстрады! Вы останетесь на всегда с нами.

[@phillipsilver2452]

80's abba I listen to and still do I am 63 I love abba

[@raymondek8594]

I’ve loved this song since I first heard it, decades ago. Sooo happy I’ve found it here🥰

[@klaus-peterfrank9141]

fast das mitreißendste Werk, das ich von ABBA kenne !!

[@АлександрЧекушкин-л6ф]

❤

[@gemolibre]

A little known song of ABBA, which tells the story of the player of flute (piper) of Hamelin in Germany, in the Middle Ages. Magnificent.

[@FarmerScarlett]

Actually, this could also be a metaphor for the way we are being led by world leaders today.....

[@Fredrobbo]

I think you may be right, but the "Brexit" and Trump results now give some hope for us plebs.

[@princessmara7]

Are you kidding me? You seriously think Trump gives a flying fig about you plebs? You poor thing.

[@woobiefuntime]

Get real cuz there are people on both sides that require safe spaces . The piper is someone who uses fear as a weapon.

[@Προκείμενον]

I immediately remembered the story of "der Rattenfänger von Hameln" (Pied Piper of Hamelin)

[@lollalolla9951]

So mystic and so wonderful! I have loved this song since childhood. The lyrics...ah....the music, shades of medieval and somewhat royal tunes! An absolute diamond!

[@ramonmedina4436]

Escuchando esta canción, podemos asegurar que este maravilloso grupo músico-vocal al incursionar en varios géneros musicales, en todos fueron excelentes. Compárela con Dancing Queen, Fernando, Chiquitita, Ido, Ido,Ido... Realmente fueron geniales. Los amo de verdad.

[@TruongNguyen-te3gy]

I thought ABBA in this song was influenced with Renaissance classical period music. Great composition, superb vocally and instrumentally performance. Talented like ABBA don’t come very often

[@leblonocean6781]

That's what I call perfection!

[@АлександрЧекушкин-л6ф]

❤

[@paulweaver7074]

This song is SO addictive. I can't get it out of my head. That flute is awesome!

[@erikskifte8862]

JUST LOOOOOOOVE THE FEEL OF THIS SONG, FROM SUPER TROUPER ALBUM, RESPECT💖💘💝

[@mc77ification]

I love it! The Voices of Agnetha and Frida, BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

[@malkopile]

Melody, symphony and Voices of Agnetha and Frida...

[@louiep.2595]

malkotopile. Yes ..

[@christinazopari9835]

The tune is so perfect

[@Lisa-ds7op]

I love ABBA so much 😍 😘

[@linabumoable]

This is the best Abba's song for me

[@Perle3456]

Love this song!!! Best complementary voices ever: Agnetha Fältskog's soprano & Anni-Frid Lyngstad's contralto voice.

[@Lisa-M]

Frida is mezzo-soprano, not contralto

[@patrickmccarthy3123]

Dont understand the technical terms of music but love ABBA and so miss thease beautiful women from the wonderful ABBA era and this is 12 June 2021

[@danbike9]

Frida mezzo-soprano Agnetha soprano Mezzo's in the classical world can sing a sopranos role. The mezzo-soprano when singing a soprano part has a warmer tone. Frida also, is blessed as she can sing alto as well. She has a huge range.

[@danbike9]

Frida middle voice is lower than Agnetha's. During ABBA's high unison big chorus songs both girls are in the same pitch (unison), but Frida has the larger distant to cover. When she does she get there she has a unique sparkling edge. Bjorn talks about this in one of his print interviews. You here this edge in her rock oriented songs (1982, Phil Collins & Frida album) or Bowie cover 'Life on Mars' (75). Frida has a performance top range of Eb6, which is 3 semi-tones above high C (C6). In one song in 1967 on LIVE national TV she covers 3 octaves in one song. It is impressive. Eb3-Eb6. It's on KZbin. It was the day she won National Best Vocalist talent hunt. She has many songs were she is well below Eb3.

[@patrickmccarthy3123]

Who cares shes georgeous

[@speckgens]

..could just be released like yesterday. Timeless!!

[@nicholasoliko715]

The best of ABBA. It brings back wonderful memories

[@RachyCorkill]

This is now my favourite song. It's so good and sweet for my ears. And I have known it for nearly 2 weeks now because I decided to just download all the ABBA songs on my tablet and I thought I had heaps having over 50 but I've found heaps more new ones now that are even better. This song is priceless

[@dianbinhduong7687]

My most favourite foreign song.

[@Gemini5AU]

Totally agree Rachy. Many of the ABBA songs were/are classics, even ones that didn't seem to make it into the charts in many countries. My parents played ABBA top to bottom and back to front most weekends when I was younger. Pretty angry though I missed out on the concert tour here in Australia, but glad to have been old/young enough to hear and see them on TV when I did.

[@MangeDisk]

In 2020 the piper is back to play the COVID tune to our children.

[@MrGallan50]

more astounding singing by the girls......what a powerful sleeper song of ABBA

[@Mia90576]

I never get tired of Abbas' song..I love them all..

[@therute2012]

Perfect tune

[@PatWooten-x2u]

Politically savvy, especially today...lovely tune, interpret as we will...face value or otherwise...abba was poetic, frequently joyful, always entertaining...some songs brilliant and all 4 so talented..ladies were and still are beautiful with voices of angels...bjorn and bennie musical geniuses...scratch the surface...remarkable band, never will be rivalled or exceeded..thank you for the music...50 years running, you are all still loved❤❤

[@userstk]

Gee, I don't know which I like better - Agnetha's fantastic pose at 35 or Frida with her long neck and dreamy look at 1:00. Both are just gorgeous, and thankfully I don't have to decide:) I'm just glad that there existed this fabulous group for me to enjoy.

[@jec65able]

Wonderful example of ABBA PERFECTION!!!

[@riscy00]

amazing....made me cry!

[@iceman12201970]

+Richard Payne IKR! #TheFeels My mom always loved the flute bit, and I think the way Frida & Agnetha harmonized, especially in the Latin parts("Sub luna, saltamus") but yes, a really beautiful song to listen to. It may well be my favorite song on Super Trouper.

[@gary15761]

Depression will do that to you

[@ThePROTO1TYPE]

Yes! I would be delighted to be your friend, thank you for inviting me :-)) And of course I will dance beneath the moon with you, he he.

[@pspboy7]

Wow, another ABBA gem...

[@francescofissore161]

Fantastic tune, very good lyrics... What a voices!!!. The perfection on planet Earth. p.s. 1:15 to 1:40 at least to me, the meaning of GODDESS.

[@yangjin968]

I loved ABBA when I was teenager in south korea. Still,it is same.I love ABBA.

[@lukerodick6649]

And they are back ;) so you are still lucky 🍀 long live ABBA 2021 ABBA come back !!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Pax_Romana_Caesar]

Their new tune "When you danced with me" from the Voyage album brought me here. Same Celtic influence... ABBA forever!!! Love, love ABBA!!!

[@lukerodick6649]

Nice they are definitely legends and have a unique sound, the Celtic sound in this is gorgeous

[@caltonfollows2168]

In the 1ST verse, it's : "Come to hear him play" not "Come to hear him play". Also, there's 1 more line of: "And we dance beneath the moon" - being the last line of the song. Thank you for putting up the lyrics. I strongly suspect that when they toured through the U.K. they heard Gaelic or Celtic music & decided that they wanted to do a song in that style, - coz this No. just REEKS of it.

[@skaterfan1]

My fav ABBA song. Thank you

[@gary15761]

Really ???

[@lucpraslan]

I think it's my favourite too. So hard to choose but I've loved it ever since it was released in 1980.

[@snowy3648]

One of the best of Super Trouper album song.....very mysthical and splendid item

[@iceman12201970]

+Snowy Visconti Oh, I wholeheartedly agree! I often say that this is my favorite song on Super Trouper.

[@baraxascentral7871]

[@jjj11330]

Thanks for the lyrics..I now finally know that the lyrics are "we dance beneath the moon'. Ever since it first was released, I would have sworn they were singing 'We're dancing in the nude'....

[@gladson1976]

One of my favourite songs. Love it.

[@AB-kx4ty]

Takes me back to my childhood. At first I thought this was Mike Oldfield but found it today as ABBA. As a kid I loved castles, knights, myths etc and this tune had that vibe together with To France by Mike Oldfield.

[@barryh.4220]

Brilliant tune ..... what a beat , superb lyrics.

[@aliena1950]

I really enjoy this video. I like the melody of the song.

[@winawahyu6932]

[@FINNSINCE]

The best ever From Abba

[@ingokupler8687]

The best of ABBA is yet to come, because they really rejoin fo two songs! Eat this! OMG!

[@Mxpqzyz]

Heard this song today for the very first time and have just one question: why is this one not a classic??? Such an amazing song!

[@michellepaillet8092]

We're following the ABBA And we dance beneath the moon

[@p.stewart4450]

In this song,'The Piper' they sing 'Sub luna saltamus' in latin language means,"Under the moon we dance" in english. Thank you for this video and good song by ABBA.:)

[@toortiereckers8852]

Kudos, Tanskuspyro98, for uploading such a *great* peace of music! Thank you very much!!!

[@lamiaal3598]

When we were reading the pied piper book in reading class, our teacher from third grade (18 yrs ago) asked us, kids do you know how the tune goes? Since then I was dying to hear it! Now I have

[@ravichristian6364]

very nice

[@N-e0N]

The Inter House Choir Competition 2012, Bishops' Co-ed School, Kalyaninagar, Pune. Freese house sang this song in the choir competition, finishing in second position behind Cooper house, which had sung Iko-Iko. In the solo category, Parth of Freese house got the first prize, singing Uptown Girl by Billy Joel.

[@jjj11330]

Same for me when I was a teen in the U.S...Bought every album when they first came out.

[@therute2012]

The best!

[@rajapsimbolon999]

if time could go back to the 80s...

[@FilmerOfBobcats]

Nice touch to add the Latin phrase "Sub Luna saltamus" - Under the moon we dance

[@scruffy90028]

Finally...I've always tried to figure out what the were saying in Latin.

[@monosarah]

Very old,,, not come to live yet!!! But enjoy it a lot

[@hjjhrmaria9529]

I love you ABBA ❤❤❤❤

[@kaetel1942]

Amo este tema! I Love this song! J'aime ce chanson! (y no sé nada de chino sino lo ponía también :D)

[@Mossy-Rock]

This beautiful, transfixing song is actually very deep and dark, and one of their best. From the Wikipedia entry: "The song is loosely based on the famous story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin.[1] It is regarded by some ABBA fans as being very different from the more mainstream songs they had recorded until this time. In particular, the dark lyrics dealing with the seduction by fascistic leaders and a somewhat medieval sound (drums, flute, choral) are not seen in their earlier songs."

[@GTA007Messiah]

Beautiful song! I really like it =)

[@Bishop46066]

Very underrated song. Strange, so many songs by ABBA are "underrated". This is one of their best I also very much like "Move On". What do we say 2020? Which ABBA song is the best?

[@madampluto3092]

[@Meanmanmartin2007]

When I was younger I used to think they were singing "We're following the piper, as we dance we need the loo!"

[@leblonocean6781]

You misheard lyrics like I did many times. I remember it happened with Dancing Queen: Instead of "You can dance, you can jive" I used to understand: Children dance, children die. Also with One Of Us. Instead of "One of us" I used to understand: On a bus. LOL!!! There are some more but I can't remember now.

[@aftab7000]

Sub luna saltamus - dance beneath the moon
