The first record I made after we formed ABBA. And the first recording I produced myself. Then, of course, I produced my next LP. The only thing I didn't do was write the songs. This was originally in Italian. This single came out in 1973, and it went to #1 on the Svensktoppen.


    A Song About Sorrow And Joy
    ~ En sång om sorg och glädje ~

    The day may be dreary, the morning may be cold,
    If I truly listen, I can still hear a song,
    Through all the hard times, through all the gloom,
    These notes manage to still reach me.

    Chorus:
    Through the day flows a melody
    Made by two in familiarity and sympathy,
    From that first spring, it has through the years
    Followed us faithfully, comforted and stood by us.
    When I want, I can hear the melody
    A song of sorrow and joy sounds so fragile and fine
    Even if the day is still gray, the song can still be heard
    It feels as if it captures all my sorrow and joy.

    The song reflects the dreams, the ones we once had,
    Dissatisfaction and worries are also in our song,
    There are illusions, happiness and finesse
    Everything reflecting life itself, even sadness and sorrow.

    Chorus
