What About Livingstone by ABBA
Lyrics & Translation
English
Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
And then I heard them laugh and say
Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now
Hey, what's it good for anyway?
So I said
Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
And all of those fellas at the local news-stand
Didn't know what to answer or what to say
So I told them about him, that he was just like
One of those spacemen in his way
And if you laugh at them
Then there's only a thing I can say
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
What about all those men?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Travelling up the Nile
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
What about all those men?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)

What About Livingstone (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Fui a comprar un periódico al quiosco local
Y entonces los oí reír y decir
Mira, van a volar hasta la luna ahora
Oye, ¿para qué sirve eso de todos modos?
Así que dije
Amigos, me gustaría preguntarles algo si puedo
¿Qué hay de Livingstone?
¿Qué hay de todos esos hombres?
Que han sacrificado sus vidas para abrir camino
Dime, ¿no valió la pena
Viajar por el Nilo
Ponerse a prueba
¿No ayudó eso al resto?
¿No valió la pena entonces?
¿Qué hay de Livingstone?
Y todos esos tipos del quiosco local
No supieron qué responder ni qué decir
Así que les hablé de él, que era como
Uno de esos astronautas a su manera
Y si te ríes de ellos
Entonces solo hay una cosa que puedo decir
¿Qué hay de Livingstone?
¿Qué hay de todos esos hombres?
Que han sacrificado sus vidas para abrir camino
Dime, ¿no valió la pena
Viajar por el Nilo
Ponerse a prueba
¿No ayudó eso al resto?
¿No valió la pena entonces?
¿Qué hay de Livingstone?
(¿No lo hizo, bueno, no lo hizo?)
¿Qué hay de todos esos hombres?
(¿No lo hizo, bueno, no lo hizo?)
Que han sacrificado sus vidas para abrir camino
Dime, ¿no valió la pena
(¿No lo hizo, bueno, no lo hizo?)
Viajar por el Nilo
(¿No lo hizo, bueno, no lo hizo?)
Ponerse a prueba
¿No ayudó eso al resto?
(¿No lo hizo, bueno, no lo hizo?)
¿No valió la pena entonces?
¿Qué hay de Livingstone?
(¿No lo hizo, bueno, no lo hizo?)
¿Qué hay de todos esos hombres?
(¿No lo hizo, bueno, no lo hizo?)
