About The Winner Takes It All

"The Winner Takes It All", originally titled "The Story of My Life", was written by both Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with Fältskog singing the lead vocal. The lyrics to the song were thought to mirror the divorce between Ulvaeus and Fältskog in 1979. However, Ulvaeus himself denies this, saying the basis of the song "is the experience of a divorce, but it's fiction. There wasn't a winner or a loser in our case. A lot of people think it's straight out of reality, but it's not". .

The Winner Takes It All Lyrics

[00:32.25] I don't wanna talk | No quiero hablar
[00:36.10] About things we've gone through | Sobre todo por lo que hemos pasado
[00:39.94] Though it's hurting me | Aunque esto me lastime
[00:43.52] Now it's history | Ahora es historia
[00:48.07] I've played all my cards | He jugado todas mis cartas
[00:52.01] And that's what you've done too | Y eso es lo que has hecho también
[00:55.93] Nothing more to say | Nada más que decir
[00:59.52] No more ace to play | No quedan más ases qué jugar
[01:03.43] The winner takes it all | El ganador se lo lleva todo
[01:07.31] The loser's standing small | El perdedor se queda pequeño
[01:11.14] Beside the victory | Al lado de la victoria
[01:14.98] That's her destiny | Ese es su destino
[01:19.50] I was in your arms | Yo estaba en tus brazos
[01:22.98] Thinking I belonged there | Pensando que pertenecía allí
[01:27.08] I figured it made sense | Me imaginé que tenía sentido
[01:30.85] Building me a fence | Construirme una valla
[01:34.44] Building me a home | Construirme un hogar
[01:38.39] Thinking I'd be strong there | Pensando que sería fuerte allí
[01:42.14] But I was a fool | Pero fui una tonta
[01:45.31] Playing by the rules | Jugando según las reglas
[01:49.59] The gods may throw a dice | Los dioses pueden lanzar un dado
[01:53.15] Their minds as cold as ice | Sus mentes tan frías como el hielo
[01:56.92] And someone way down here | Y alguien aquí abajo
[02:00.92] Loses someone dear | Pierde a alguien querido
[02:04.84] The winner takes it all (takes it all) | El ganador se lo lleva todo (se lo lleva todo)
[02:08.38] The loser has to fall (has to fall) | El perdedor tiene que caer (tiene que caer)
[02:12.24] It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain) | Es simple y está claro (está tan claro)
[02:15.88] Why should I complain? (Why complain?) | ¿Por qué debería quejarme? (¿Por qué quejarme?)
[02:19.64] But tell me, does she kiss | Pero dime, ¿ella besa
[02:23.74] Like I used to kiss you? | como yo solía besarte?
[02:27.59] Does it feel the same | ¿Se siente lo mismo
[02:31.19] When she calls your name? | cuando ella dice tu nombre?
[02:35.15] Somewhere deep inside | En algún lugar profundo
[02:38.84] You must know I miss you | Debes saber que te extraño
[02:42.81] But what can I say? | Pero, ¿qué puedo decir?
[02:46.53] Rules must be obeyed | Las reglas deben ser obedecidas
[02:50.26] The judges will decide (will decide) | Los jueces decidirán (decidirán)
[02:54.15] The likes of me abide (me abide) | Los que son como yo acatan (acatan)
[02:57.75] Spectators of the show (of the show) | Espectadores del espectáculo (del espectáculo)
[03:01.50] Always staying low (staying low) | Siempre manteniéndose al margen (al margen)
[03:05.16] The game is on again (on again) | El juego ha comenzado de nuevo (de nuevo)
[03:09.10] A lover or a friend (or a friend) | Un amante o un amigo (o un amigo)
[03:12.69] A big thing or a small (big or small) | Algo grande o algo pequeño (grande o pequeño)
[03:16.46] The winner takes it all (takes it all) | El ganador se lo lleva todo (se lo lleva todo)
[03:20.32]
[03:22.78] I don't wanna talk | No quiero hablar
[03:26.77] If it makes you feel sad | si eso te pone triste
[03:30.32] And I understand | Y lo entiendo
[03:33.42] You've come to shake my hand | has venido a estrechar mi mano
[03:37.97] I apologize | Te pido disculpas
[03:41.66] If it makes you feel bad | si te hace sentir mal
[03:45.64] Seeing me so tense | verme tan tensa
[03:49.46] No self-confidence | sin confianza en mí misma
[03:51.81] But you see | Pero ya ves
[03:53.36] The winner takes it all | El ganador se lo lleva todo
[04:00.58] The winner takes it all | El ganador se lo lleva todo
[04:08.47]
[00:00.00]
