ABBA - GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!
(A Man After Midnight)

Half past twelve
and I’m watchin’ the late show
in my flat all alone
how I hate to spend
the evening on my own
autumn winds
blowin’ outside the window
as I look around the room
and it makes me so
depressed to see the gloom
there’s not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won’t somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

Movie stars
find the end of the rainbow
with a fortune to win
it’s so different from
the world I’m living in
tired of TV
I open the window
and I gaze into the night
but there’s nothing there to see
no one in sight
there’s not a soul out there
no one to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
won’t somebody help me
chase the shadows away
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
take me through the darkness
to the break of the day

The Mandolina Ljubljana Orchestra is the only ensemble in Slovenia, whose members have chosen the mandolin as their companion on their musical journey. In Slovenia, the mandolin has only recently been given a more significant role in various musical styles, from classical to pop. We, the members of the orchestra feel honoured and obligated to make the audience more familiar with this mellifluous plucked string instrument and to bring to their ears genuine mandolin music. In our repertoire there are also compositions written by classical composers, arrangements of folk tunes, film music and evergreens. We have had numerous successful appearances at home and abroad in more than thirty years of our performing. This, good critics and more and more satisfied audiences, assure us that we are on the right path.
