《Happy New Year》(新年快乐)是瑞典流行团体ABBA于他们1980年代的专辑《Super Trouper》中的一首单曲。
不过这首歌创作时选用的标题倒是充满了节日气氛以及十足的幽默感——“老爸,可别在圣诞节喝醉”(英语:Daddy Don't Get Drunk on Christmas Day)。尽管这首歌是于1980年录制完成的,但是这首英文歌曲直到1999年才作为单曲推出(CBS于1989年发行过迷你CD版)。此曲登上了瑞典,荷兰及德国的单曲榜,分别位居第27,15及78的名次。这支单曲的推出也促成了更多ABBA歌曲以单曲的形式再次发行。
“Felicidad”(中译:幸福)是“新年快乐”这首歌的西班牙语版本,这首歌曾在打入阿根廷单曲榜第五名的高位,此曲也是包含在南美版《Super Trouper》专辑中的。
2008年,这首单曲再次在几个国家重新发行,并分别在丹麦,挪威及瑞典的单曲榜中获得了第25,11及第4名的成绩,2009年该曲又重回瑞典及丹麦的单曲榜并都夺得了第5名的成绩。2011年,这首单曲还进入挪威单曲榜前十的位置。
Happy New Year歌词:
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
