Agnetha(ABBA) : (Jesus Christ Superstar) Don't Know How To Love Him - Vart skall min kärlek

"I Don't Know How To Love Him" was the orignal title in English.
In 1972 Agnetha took to the stage and played Mary Magdeline in the Swedish version of Jesus Christ Superstar

This version here was produced by Bjorn Ulvaeus and released as a single

The other side of the single, a video I made here...

Vart skall min kärlek föra? Where Will My Love Lead To?

Vart skall min kärlek föra?
Säg vad kan jag väl göra?
Kan jag nå hans hjärta då?
När han såg på mig blev allt förbytt,
Jag är ej längre jag.

Jag vet ej vad som hänt mig,
Så har jag aldrig känt mig.
Han en man, bland andra män,
Jag kan få så många män jag vill
Så vad betyder han, en vanlig man?

Ska jag viska ömt?
Ska jag skrika ut
Att jag aldrig känt
Något som förut?
Har jag lärt mig älska nu?
Har det hänt till slut?

Är det inte ganska löjligt?
Har får mig att tappa sansen,
Jag som jämt flöt ovanpå
Så hård jag var mot varje karl
Plötsligt vet jag ej,
Han skrämmer mig.

Säg, har jag lärt mig älska nu?
Har det hänt till slut?

Men jag skulle inte tåla,
Att han sa han höll av mig.
Då blev jag rädd, förfärligt rädd,
Jag flydde då från honom, åh!
Jag skulle dö av skam,
Han skrämmer mig,
Jag längtar så,
Jag älskar så.
(Lloyd Webber,Rice / Hallqvist)

Thanks Bill, this was the one that got me hooked on her Swedish songs and had me reaching back for more

[Madrocker1954]

Another thing about Agnetha's version of this classic song is there's a pronounced sadness in her voice. Which there always was with the tune but the singers of the other versions (inc. Yvonne Elliman and Helen Reddy) didn't connect with the sadness in the same way that Agnetha did. The sadness in her voice is enough to make the angels weep.

what a gorgeous voice and person, god ive loved you for years xxxxxxxxx

[Castaneadentata]

Wonderful video, Thanks for your good work! Fascinating to see how different the lyrics are in Swedish, yet convey the same message. I would have expected a more literal translation, but this is great.

[Yrrats]

I don't understand a word of it, but in my personal (Dutch) opinion Swedish - next to French - must be the most beautiful language in the world! It's music on itself.

[moonlightpegasus]

This is simply beautiful! It is now my favorite version of this song! Agnetha's vocal range is truly amazing! I also love the foto montage which you created. Thankyou so much!
