[@eduardooscar309]

Chiquitita" means '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 Agnetha & 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 44 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 , when ABBA goes for a TV Special (that's the snowman) It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden My next suggestion is to "Fernando" or "Super trouper" (1980) with the brunette singer Frida in lead voice I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best wishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South América

@@Fruttidoro words sometimes need to be accompanied by context in isolation way "Chiquitita" speaks of something very small but in several countries of Spanish America the term "Chiquitita" is used to speak in a very affectionate way of a girl in her childhood and that is the intention and the spirit of its use in this beautiful song

"S.O.S." is my favourite ABBA song of all times, 'The Masterpiece' for excellence between more ABBA masterpieces "S.O.S." (1975) has a story It was one of Their first recordings after the greatest success of "Waterloo" in Eurovisión, just four months later, in August 1974 But it waited almost a year for its release, in June 1975 at Sweden, September 1975 at UK and US (the next singles after Waterloo was, in these order: Ring Ring (re-entry), So long (at 1974), and "I do I do I do I do I do", and finally "S.O.S." when " "S.O.S." have your chance to be a single, it picks at #6 in U.K. and #15 in U.S. being Their second hit in both countries at the same time, and six #1 (including Germany Australia) and more Top 10 in several countries of all continents and after these, ABBA had 18 Top 10 consecutives in UK between 1975/1982, for example: Mamma Mía, Fernando, Dancing Queen, Take a chance con me, Chiquitita, The winner takes it all, Super trouper etc "S.O.S." in less than 200 seconds is a gem, a Masterpiece! The transitions from the dramatic opening (a dingy piano and a cracking voice of the blonde singerAgnetha) to a powerful rock beat with catchy pop chorus in the middle are brilliant ABBA marked an era in many ways One was the musical leadership of its beautiful and lofty female vocalists as the center of attention Another was the use of contrasts, such as sad lyrics with catchy melodies and harmonies And their recording tecnique "wall of sound" gives ABBA more powerfull ABBA, as in its time BEATLES, left an unforgettable mark on several generations It is good music that lasts and stays alive and well

ABBA always had a knack of making essentially sad songs sound so god-damn happy! SOS is basically a plea to whomever the song is being sung to. That what they had together is worth saving. The second song, Chiquitita, obviously struck an emotional chord with you and no doubt some of the lyrics resonated with you, personally. Listening to such songs and have a release of emotion is very therapeutic. The song itself is full of hope, especially in the chorus.

[@willrichardson519]

Well said!

[@matsbjur2535]

As a Swede, I can say that the spirit of it isn't a sad song, but a song of empathy, recognizing the reality of the story of a sad little child, and inspiring hope. As mentioned earlier in this thread it was made for UN's Unicef, and half of all revenues from the song were up until 2014 donated to Unicef, by then 20 million SEK. After 2014, ABBA decided that all future revenue from the song were to be donated to Unicef.

Also you don't have to apologize for such emotional reactions, let them out, it helps.
