Abba - Nina, Pretty Ballerina

Agnetha Ase Faltskog was born in Jonkoping, on the shores of Lake Vattern in southern Sweden, on April 5 1950. She grew up in a musical and artistic environment. Her father Ingvar regularly put on amateur shows. Her mother Birgit would often sing at home.
Agnetha discovered a neighbour's piano when she was just 5. Everyday the little girl would tap away on the keyboard, the sounds she could make fascinated her. Two years later her parents gave her the instrument she desperately wanted.
She made her stage debut at 7 when her father asked her to sing at a Christmas party in front of an audience of mainly elderly people. She sang "Billy Boy". Her trousers fell down in the middle of the song, causing great hilarity, but this didn't diminish her passion for the stage.
Multi talented Agnetha is an accomplished singer, songwriter, lyricist, record producer, arranger, stage performer and actress. She was also blessed with beautiful good looks and long blonde Swedish hair. Agnetha is an all round nice person and proud mum of two, Linda and Christian.
Here Agnetha is the prettiest ballerina you've ever seen!
From Ring Ring album (1973). Lyrics:
Every day in the morning on her way to the office,
You can see her as she catches a train,
Just a face among a million faces,
Just another woman with no name,
Not the girl you'd remember,
But she's still something special,
If you knew her I am sure you'd agree,
'Cause I know she's got a little secret,
Friday evening she turns out to be,
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor,
This is the moment she's waited for,
Just like Cinderella,
(Just like Cinderella),
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way,
This is the part that she likes to play,
But she knows the fun would go away,
If she would play it every day,
So she's back every morning to her work at the office,
And another week to live in a dream,
And another row of early mornings,
In an almost never-ending stream,
Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
Everybody seems to think she's a bore,
But they wouldn't know her little secret,
What her Friday night would have in store,
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor,
This is the moment she's waited for,
Just like Cinderella,
(Just like Cinderella),
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way,
This is the part that she likes to play,
She would like to play it every day,
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor,
This is the moment she's waited for,
Just like Cinderella,
(Just like Cinderella),
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way,
This is the part that she likes to play.

agnetha is so beautiful..... however, it might have been better for her if she had the same voice, but had the looks of Mama Cass... of course, not choking on the puke.

[sixtiesforever1966]

I have the 4 DVD set ABBA thank you for the music , and this song is not on it.

Love this song

[Nza420]

it's sad that Agnetha was scared of her fans..... We were just trying to appreciate the beauty. We mean no harm, Aggie! We just love you and the gift you gave the world with your voice... Frida couldn't even come close to you!
