Mamma Mia! è un musical, in due atti, scritto dalla drammaturga inglese Catherine Johnson e basato sulle canzoni del gruppo musicale pop svedese ABBA. Il titolo stesso del musical riprende quello di una famosa canzone degli ABBA: Mamma Mia del 1975.

La colonna sonora del musical include i più grandi successi degli ABBA tra cui Super Trouper, Dancing Queen, Thank You for the Music, The Winner Takes It All e S.O.S..

A luglio 2003, Mamma Mia! ha avuto più di 10 milioni[1] di spettatori, in tutto il mondo, ma si stima che nel 2006 questo numero potrebbe essere più che raddoppiato[2].

La trama ruota attorno alle vicende di Sophie e di sua madre, Donna. Sophie, in procinto di sposarsi, vorrebbe l'assenso del padre, che non ha mai conosciuto. Decisa a scoprire l'identità del genitore, si troverà a dover decidere chi, tra tre possibili candidati, è l'uomo che sta cercando.

Attualmente ad Hollywood stanno girando il film che dovrebbe uscire in America nel luglio del 2008, tra gli interpreti: Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan e Colin Firth

Una recensione del film:
(P.S. Per quanto riguarda Pierce concordo con il recensore)

Mamma mia!
Scritto da Colinmckenzie
giovedì 07 agosto 2008

In una piccola isoletta greca, una ragazza in procinto di sposarsi cerca di scoprire chi è suo padre. Le canzoni degli Abba sarebbero anche piacevoli, ma i danni fatti dalla regia sono quasi irrimediabili...

Se c'è un genere che francamente detesto è il moderno musical cinematografico che parte dai successi teatrali. Di solito, la formula è questa. Un musical ottiene un grande successo a Broadway e vince una valanga di Tony (il massimo riconoscimento per il palcoscenico), quindi i produttori di Hollywood ritengono sia una buona idea trasferire tutto al cinema. Ogni tanto la cosa funziona a livello commerciale, ma dal punto di vista artistico sono spesso dolori. Infatti, se Hairspray almeno ha ottenuto un grande successo commerciale (ma francamente non aveva un decimo della magia dell'originale di John Waters), The Producers è stato un fallimento completo, soprattutto per la scelta di prendere la regista del musical teatrale.

Lo stesso, identico errore è stato compiuto qui. Phyllida Lloyd non è assolutamente in grado di raccontare una storia a livello cinematografico da qualsiasi punto di vista. La sua idea di regia è riempire lo schermo di sovrapposizioni ed effettacci, mentre gli sfondi sono falsissimi, tanto che talvolta sembra di vedere una copia pirata. Inoltre, il montaggio è quasi sempre troppo rapido e non sfrutta meglio le scene cantate per delle sequenze senza stacchi, come avveniva per i musical classici degli anni trenta e quaranta.

Mamma mia!Anche a livello di storia, non si capisce perché ci si dovrebbe appassionare ad una vicenda che dopo dieci minuti fila via liscia senza problemi, con dei personaggi eccessivi fin da subito (nonostante, peraltro, siano persone normalissime) e la tristezza di vedere dei quasi sessantenni che si comportano come ragazzini (Julie Walters, dispiace dirlo, in questo senso è insopportabile). E poi, ci sono troppe scene che magari andavano bene nel musical, ma che qui non hanno senso per portare avanti la storia. Penso ai due aspiranti sposi sulla spiaggia (sequenza che sembra voler dar vita ad una sottotrama interessante, ma che poi in realtà non si realizza) o un'altra scena al mare con Christine Baranski.

D'accordo, un paio di scene sono interessanti (forse la migliore è quella con Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!). E, per chi apprezza gli Abba, è comunque un ascolto piacevole. Ma tutto questo non basta per fare un film. Meryl Streep è anche ammirevole per l'impegno che ci mette, mentre Pierce Brosnan rischia delle sanzioni da parte dell'Onu quando canta (momenti di pura crudeltà), Colin Fith offre talvolta uno sguardo da pesce lesso impagabile e Stellan Skarsgård è decisamente sfruttato male. Quella che poi dovrebbe essere (ed è) la protagonista, Amanda Seyfried, non sembra all'altezza di un ruolo così impegnativo. I personaggi dei greci invece non sono neanche delle macchiette, semplicemente non esistono e rimangono a fare da tappezzeria (a mia memoria, non ricordo che dicano neanche una battuta).

Ma forse, così come molti uomini (più o meno cresciuti) adorano pellicole decerebrate d'azione, prodotti come questo (e Sex and the City) ne sono il corrispettivo femminile. Entusiasmante.
Alla fine, le scene sui titoli di coda strappano qualche risata e fanno pensare che una virata verso la follia e il kitsch sarebbe stata una buona scelta. Ma, come già detto, ci sarebbe voluto un/a regista che conosce il cinema. Cosa che qui non c'è...

I testi:

PROLOGUE

Sophie:
I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail...

Sam Carmichael...
Bill Austin...
And Harry Bright!
Good luck...


HONEY, HONEY


Sophie:
Honey, honey
How he thrills me, aha, honey, honey
Honey, honey
Nearly kills me, aha, honey, honey
I've heard about him before
I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean
He's a love machine
(Oh, he makes me dizzy)

Honey, honey
Let me feel it, aha, honey, honey
Honey, honey
Don't conceal it, aha, honey, honey
The way that you kiss goodnight

I feel like I wanna sing

Sophie/Ali/Lisa:
When you do your...thing

Sophie:
I want my Dad to give me away at my wedding, but according to Mum's diary, I've got 3 possible dads...Sam, Bill or Harry.

Ali:
Sophie!

Lisa:
Do they know?

Sophie:
What do you write to a total stranger?
"Come to my wedding - you might be my dad"?
No, they think mum sent the invitations - and after reading this diary I'm not surprised they all said yes!

Sophie/Ali/Lisa:
Honey, honey
How you thrill me, aha, honey, honey
Honey, honey
Nearly kill me, aha, honey, honey

Sophie:
I'd heard about you before
I wanted to know some more
And now I'm about to see
What you mean to me


MONEY, MONEY, MONEY


Donna:
I work all night, I work all day
To pay the bills I have to pay

Company:
Ain't it sad?

Donna:
And still there never seems to be
A single penny left for me

Company:
That's too bad

Donna:
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all
I'd fool around and have a ball...

Company:
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man's world
Aha-aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Tanya:
A man like that is hard to find

Donna:
But I can't get him off my mind

All:
Ain't it sad?

Rosie:
And if he happened to be free
I bet he wouldn't fancy me

All:
That's too bad

Pepper:
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game
My life will never be the same...

Company:
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man's world

Donna:
Aha-aha
All the things I could do

Company:
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In a rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In a rich man's world

Donna:
Aha-aha
All the things I could do

Company:
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world


THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC


Harry:
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy
They’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be

Harry/Sophie:
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Sophie:
Mother says I was
A dancer before I could walk
She says I began
To sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered
How did it all start?
Who found out that nothing
Can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

Sophie/Harry:
So I say
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy
They’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Sophie:
I’ve been so lucky
I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance

Sophie/Harry/Bill:
Thank you for the music
The songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy
They’re bringing
Who can live without it?
I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we

Sophie/Harry/Bill/Sam:
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music

Sophie:
For giving it to me


MAMMA MIA


Donna:
I was cheated by you
And I think you know when
So I made up my mind
It must come to an end

Look at me now
Will I ever learn?
I don't know how
But I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Oh oh oh oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I should not have let you go.

I was angry and sad
When I knew we were through
I can't count all the times
I have cried over you
Look at me now
Will I ever learn?
I don't know how
But I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Oh oh oh oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I should not have let you go.

Donna:
What the hell are you all doing here?
Well, I'd love to sotp and chat,
but I have to go and clean out my handbag...or something.

Bill:
Age does not wither her.

Harry:
I was expecting a rather stout matron.

Sam:
No, she's still Donna.

Donna/Sam/Bill/Harry:
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Oh oh oh oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I should not have let you go.


CHIQUITITA

Rosie:
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong

Tanya:
I have never seen such sorrow

Rosie & Tanya:
In your eyes, and the wedding is tomorrow

Tanya:
How I hate to see you like this

Rosie:
There is no way you can deny it

Tanya:
I can see that you're
Oh so sad, so quiet

Rosie & Tanya:
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving

Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Donna:
Try once more
Like I did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita


DANCING QUEEN

Rosie & Tanya:
Ooh Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life, ooh ooh
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the Dancing Queen...

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king

Tanya:
Anybody can be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

Donna/Tanya/Rosie:
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh yeah -
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life, ooh ooh
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the Dancing Queen

Donna:
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning
And then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a hace
And when you get the chance

Donna/Tanya/Rosie:
You are the Dancing Queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh yeah -
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life, ooh ooh
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the Dancing Queen
Diggin' the Dancing Queen
See that girl, watch that scene
Diggin' the Dancing Queen


LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME

Sky:
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every man that I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive
It isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn’t true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you –

Sophie:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small-talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don’t know
What you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don’t have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear

Sky:
Don’t go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

Boys:
Don’t go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Sophie:
I’ve had a few little love affairs
They didn’t last very long and they’ve been pretty scarce

Sky:
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

Sophie:
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?

Sky/Pepper/Eddie/Boys:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Girls:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me


SUPER TROUPER


Donna & the Dynamos:
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Donna:
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
Suddenly I feel all right
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the

Donna & the Dynamos & Girls:
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Donna:
Facing twenty-thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
But it's gonna be alright
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the

Donna & the Dynamos & Girls:
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Donna:
So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the

Donna & the Dynamos & Girls:
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
Smiling, having fun
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you
Super Trouper
Beams are gonna blind me


GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!

Girls:
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer ...

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Sophie:
Sorry to drag you away

Sam:
Thank God you did, this used to be a quiet wee island.

Sophie:
Regretting you stayed away so long?

Sam:
No, I'm regretting I never knew what was here.

Sophie:
What?

Sam:
This place - the Taverna. I always meant to come back and build it someday, but - she beat me to it.

Sophie:
Do you prefer buildings to people?

Sam:
What?!

Sophie:
Tell me something about my mum.

Sam:
Your mum was irresistible, a one-off. We talked and we fought - you know it was me that brought her to this island?

Sophie:
That wasn't the only thing you did, was it?

Sam:
Oh right, what has she told you?

Sophie:
Nothing. She's never mentioned you.

Sam:
But you said, "Mum's always talking about her friends from the old days." What's going on? Sophie, why am I here?

Girls:
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer ...

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Harry:
Fancy Donna with a grown-up daughter!

Sophie:
Have you got any children, Harry?

Harry:
No, I haven't put myself in the path of paternity.

Sophie:
It's never too late.

Harry:
I don't think my other half would agree.

Sophie:
Oh - you don't want children?

Harry:
No, no, it's not that. It's just that...well, I'd have liked a daughter. I'd have spoiled her to bits.

Sophie:
Lucky thing.

Harry:
Is your dad here?

Sophie:
I don't know.

Harry:
What?

Sophie:
I don't know who my dad is.

Girls:
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer ...

Bill:
Can I be nosey? I'm a writer, so it goes with the territory.

Sophie:
Go on.

Bill:
How did your mother get this place? When I knew her, she was singing in a nightclub on the mainland.

Sophie:
She was left some money in a will. We lived with an old lady when I was little. Her name was Sophia.

Bill:
What, my Great-Aunt Sophia?

Sophie:
I think it must be.

Bill:
But...I always heard her money went to family...
Wait a minute - how old are you?

Sophie:
Twenty!

Girls:
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day


THE NAME OF THE GAME


Sophie
I've seen you twice in a short time
Only a day since we started

Got a feeling, you give me no choice
So I wanna know

Does it mean anything to you?
What's the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, 'cause I have to know
I'm a curious child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I'm trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know -
What's the name of the game

Bill:
I'll talk to your mother tonight

Sophie:

Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?

UNDER ATTACK


Sophie:
Don't know how to take it
Don't know where to go
My resistance running low
And every day the hold is getting tighter
And it troubles me so

Nightmare Chorus:
You know that I'm nobody's fool

Sophie:
I'm nobody's fool
And yet it's clear to me
I don't have a strategy
It's just like taking candy from a baby
And I think I must be

Sophie & Nightmare Chorus:
Under attack
I'm being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, 'cos I'm falling apart
Under attack
I'm taking cover
They're on my track, three dads, one lover
Thinking nothing can stop them now
Should I want to
I'm not sure I would know how

Sophie:
This is getting crazy
I should tell them so
Really let my anguish show
I feel like I was trapped within a nightmare
I've got nowhere to go

Nightmare Chorus:
Still undecided I suppose

Sophie:
Yes, it's what I wanted
but I'm scared as hell
Staring down the deepest well
I hardly dare to think of what would happen
Where I'd be if I fell

Sophie & Nightmare Chorus:
Under attack
I'm being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, 'cos I'm falling apart
Under attack
I'm taking cover
They're on my track, three dads, one lover
Thinking nothing can stop them now
Should I want to
I'm not sure I would know how

Nightmare Chorus:
You know that I'm nobody's fool

Sophie & Nightmare Chorus:
Under attack
I'm being taken
About to crack
Defences breaking
Won't somebody please have a heart
Come and rescue me now, 'cos I'm falling apart
Under attack
I'm taking cover
They're on my track, three dads, one lover

Sophie:
Thinking nothing can stop them now
Should I want to
I'm not sure I would know how


ONE OF US

Donna:
They passed me by
All of those great romances
Because of your robbin me
Of my rightful chances
My picture clear
Everything seemed so easy
But then you dealt me the blow
One of us had to go
How you hurt me
I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself
Feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing you had never left at all
Never left at all

Sam:
Donna. What's the rush?

Donna:
The wedding.

Sam:
Oh yeah, about the wedding. Why didn't you tell me it was Sophie getting married?

Donna:
That is absolutely none of your business.

Sam:
And what's this Sky guy like? Is he good enough for her?

Donna:
And that is none of your business either.

Sam:
Alright, be a bloody martyr, listen, I've got kids. I know it's hard for you doing it on your own.

Donna:
Don't bloody patronize me. I love doing it on my own
every morning I wake up and thank Christ I haven't got some
middle-aged menopausal man to bother me
I'm free, I'm single, and it's great!


S.O.S.

Sam:
Where are those happy days?
They seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good

So when you’re near me, darling
Can’t you hear me? S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me. S.O.S<[> When you’re gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you’re gone, though I try
How can I carry on?

Donna:
You seem so far away
Though you are standing near
You made me feel alive
But something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love?
It used to be so good

Donna/Sam:
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me? S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me. S.O.S

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try
How can I carry on?

So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me? S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me. S.O.S

When you're gone, though I try
How can I carry on?


DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW

Tanya:
You're so hot, teasing me
So you're blue
But I can't take a chance on a kid like you
It's something I couldn't do
There's that look in your eyes
I can read in your face
That your feelings are driving you wild
But boy, you're only a child

Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?

Pepper:
Take it easy...

Tanya:
Take it easy
Better slow down boy
That's no way to go
Does your mother know?

Pepper:
Take it easy...

Tanya:
Take it easy
Try to cool it boy
Play it nice and slow
Does your mother know?

I can see what you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one
Now you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile
But boy, you're only a child

Everyone:
Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?

Pepper:
Take it easy
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go

Tanya:
Does your mother know?

Pepper:
Take it easy
Try to cool it girl
Play it nice and slow

Tanya:
Does your mother know?

Everyone:
Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?

Well I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?

Does your mother know that you're out?
Does your mother know that you're out?


KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU

Sam:
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
This is how the story ends
This is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we're through
Breakin' up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing Me, Knowing You
It's the best I can do

Mem'ries, good days, bad days
They'll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms
Children would play
Now there's only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it
This time we're through
Breakin' up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing Me, Knowing You
It's the best I can do


OUR LAST SUMMER

Harry:
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain

We made our way along the river
And we sat down on the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh, yes
Those crazy years
That was the time of the flower-power
But underneath
We had a fear of flying
Of getting old
A fear of slowly dying
We took our chance
Like we were dancing our last dance

Harry & Donna:
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all

Harry:
In the tourist jam

Donna:
Round the Notre Dame

Harry & Donna:
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand

Donna:
Paris restaurants

Harry & Donna:
Our last summer

Harry:
Morning croissants

Harry & Donna:
Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play

Donna:
And now you're working in a bank
The family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet, you were the hero of my dreams...

Harry & Donna:
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain....


SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS

Donna:
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home
In the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
With a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that old melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go?
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why, I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Donna & Sophie:
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers -

Donna:
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...


THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL


Donna:
I don't wanna 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 destiny

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 someone 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 judges 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 apologize
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 again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

Rosie:
If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free

Gonna be around

Listen to some music

You want me to leave it there

And I think you know

I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO, I DO


Sam:
I can't conceal it
Don't you see?
Can't you feel it?

Girls:
...Say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

You love me

Don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too? I do, I do, I do, I do, I do


I HAVE A DREAM

Sophie:
I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You can take the future
Even if you fail

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

Company:
I have a dream
A fantasy
To help me through
Reality
And my destination
Makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness
Still another mile

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream

Sophie:
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

Mamma mia ha vinto due premi ai FAMM Award 2008, come miglior film e miglior musical! :alè: :alè:

Best film/movie:

• Mamma Mia!
There was no doubting this runaway winner, appealing to all sectors of the market with its outstanding direction, acting, music and of course, a gem of a screenplay.

Best musical:

• Mamma Mia!
The winner takes it all. No other musical movie managed to get anywhere near this Abba/Greek entertaining journey. Fun for all, except critics who won’t be seen admitting the truth.
