Swedish pop band ABBA’s song “The Winner Takes It All sung by Meryl Streep from the 2008 movie musical “Mamma Mia!” Beautiful cinematography.

Her voice is amazing. I’m feeling thrilled when I hear this song.
오랜만에 정말 괜찮은 뮤지컬 영화를 보았다. 귀에 쏙쏙 들어오는 아바의 수많은 히트곡 중에서도 메릴 스트립이 부르는 이 곡이 가장 가슴 찡하게 와 닿는다.

I don’t want to talk
About the things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her desity

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw the dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses somesone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain
Why should I complain?

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The juges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low

The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don’t wanna talk
‘Cause it makes me feel sad
And I understand
You’ve come to shake my hand
I apologise
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence – but you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

The game is on agian
A love or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
