Dancing Queen《舞林皇后》
By ABBA
Dancing Queen这首歌来自ABBA乐队。歌曲旋律优美，朗朗上口，听着听着，就会有想跟着一起跳舞的感觉。
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could 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...
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
你可以尽情舞动，尽情跳跃
尽情享受你的人生
看看这个女孩、这幅景象
她骨子里就是个舞后
周五夜晚，灯光昏暗
看看屋外，想找个地方去玩
那儿放着正点的音乐
让人忘情摇摆
你走进里面寻找国王
任何人都可能雀屏中选
夜未央，音乐正 high
有摇滚乐，一切都很完美
你跳舞的情绪正高昂
当你把握住机会
你就是舞后
年轻而甜美，年纪才十七岁
舞后，抓住铃鼓的节奏
Notes： 1.jive [daiv] v.跳摇摆舞
2.swing [swi] v.旋转
3.tambourine [tmbrin] n.手鼓
