Introduction
“Felicidad” is a lesser-known song by the Swedish pop group ABBA. The song was released as part of the album “Gracias por la música” in 1980. This album was essentially a compilation of their previous hits, re-recorded in Spanish to appeal to their Spanish-speaking audience. ABBA, well-known for their international success, embraced this opportunity to expand their fan base by performing in languages other than English, and Spanish was a natural choice given the large number of Spanish-speaking countries in the world.
“Felicidad” is a bright and uplifting song, much like many of ABBA’s hits, with a catchy melody and energetic rhythm. The title “Felicidad” translates to “Happiness” in English, and the lyrics reflect themes of joy, celebration, and positivity. ABBA’s dedication to delivering music with universal appeal shines through, as the song’s joyful tone is accentuated by the vibrant, festive arrangement.
Although the song did not achieve the same level of international recognition as some of ABBA’s bigger hits like “Dancing Queen” or “Mamma Mia,” it remains a part of their diverse discography. “Felicidad” is beloved by many ABBA fans, especially in Latin America and Spain, where the album “Gracias por la música” holds a special place in the hearts of Spanish-speaking listeners.
