Sorry, guys, I won't translate it, but the lyrics are almost like the English version, but not quite.
Heck, I did a direct translation. Maybe this has never been done before

.
You are lucky I am Swedish and interested in music and history.
So this is for the history books...

Waterloo - English lyrics (performed in Brighton, EuroVision 1974):
My, my, at Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh, yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, Promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo, Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
My, my, I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh, yeah, And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo, Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo, Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, Finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh-ooh, Waterloo, Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo, Finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh-ooh, Waterloo...

Waterloo - Swedish lyrics:
The original Swedish lyrics, directly translated to English by me, so note that it won't rhyme
Well, well, at Waterloo Napoleon had to surrender
But, but, your destiny can be met in so many different ways
I feel since I met you, history is repeating itself
Waterloo – I am defeated, now I give up
Waterloo – promise me the pleasure of loving you
Waterloo – everything feels right, and it is my belief
Waterloo – you are my destiny, my Waterloo
Wa wa wa wa Waterloo – you are my destiny, my Waterloo
Well, well, you fight it off and keep fencing a long time
But, but, against feelings the gods fight in vain, it has been said
It is like I heard a song
I think there is love coming on
Waterloo – so I have found my superior
Waterloo – powerful, mighty and strong he is
Waterloo – everything feels right, and it is my belief
Waterloo – you are my destiny, my Waterloo
Wa wa wa wa Waterloo – you are my destiny, my Waterloo
It is like a heard a song
I think there is love going on
Waterloo – everything feels right, and it is my belief
Waterloo – you are my destiny, my Waterloo
Wa wa wa wa Waterloo – you are my destiny, my Waterloo

And after listening to the
Swedish version of Waterloo, I have to say that the lyrics are better in Swedish.
But if you don't know the Swedish language you will never be able to understand it, sorry.
