    This song reminds of my grandparents. They both fought in the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920. They were separated in the conflict when the train they were on was blown up. My grandmother and grandfather happened to be on opposite ends of the train when the bomb went off. Each thought the other was dead. Two years later they walked past each other on a train platform. They were married for 75 years.

    My Grandfather always loved this song. When he was on his deathbed, I played this for him, and while he was sick and exhausted, he cried but smiled when he heard what was playing and did his best to sing the words despite being short of breath. I'll forever think of him when I hear this song now. Rest In Peace Grandpa, Francisco Fernando Cabral.

    Abba wrote three versions of Fernando. The first was in Swedish and told the story of lost love. The second was English and told the story of two veterans in the 1910 Mexican Civil War. The third was in Spanish.
    My father loved this song. He fought as an infantryman on the front lines in three wars. This song makes me cry for him.

      I had the great experience of meeting and conversing with Panch Villa's widow. It was in 1971 in Chihuahua City. She was 79 years old. Her name was Maria de la Luz Corral viuda de Villa. She had a powerful voice, joyful and full of confidence. It was memory that I treasure. In her house she had the car in which Panco was assassinated, full of bullet holes.

      @NextWorld Pancho said to Luz that he wanted to kill a certain fellow. Luz said to him, NO! he is a good man, Don't do this and he spared the man. After Pancho's death, there were four wives that wanted the big 50 room house. By then the fellow she spared was president of Mexico. Somehow he had heard of this conversation and he granted the house to her.

      @NextWorld Thank you, Next, but my part was tiny. These other accounts are just in the historical record. But to share another bit, Pancho and his men were gathering money from business owners and individuals to fund their military operations. That's where he met Luz in her mother's little store. He liked her looks, but most of all, he liked that she was articulate. She was 18 years old, and he proposed marriage. She was the second wife. It is said that he had more than forty "wives." But Luz had a special distinction. She is the only wife who had a marriage certificate. They went to the Catholic priest, who said that Pancho would need to do confession. Panco said that he had committed so many sins and done so many bad deeds that the priest would simply not have time enough to hear it all. The priest then said, "Well, then let's just skip it," and the marriage ceremony proceeded as scheduled.
      Luz became an important part of the revolution. At one point, for her safety, she went to Cuba briefly, then spent about two years in San Antonio, TX. She spoke to me in good English, which presumably she learned in TX.

    One of the most meaningful, albeit misunderstood songs by abba. Even my old folks think this is a love song about a lad named Fernando. This song makes me think of my grandfather who fought in WW2. "I was so afraid Fernando,...none of us were prepared to die...I am not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry...they were shining there for...liberty". So poignant and powerful.

    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    I remember long ago another starry night like this
    In the firelight Fernando
    You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
    I could hear the distant drums
    And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
    They were closer now Fernando
    Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
    I was so afraid Fernando
    We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
    And I'm not ashamed to say
    The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    Now we're old and grey Fernando
    And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
    I can see it in your eyes
    How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though I never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    Yes, if I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando...

      Nowadays metalheads and hard rock fans are open about their love & respect for ABBA. Lemmy in Motörhead and Ritchie Blackmore were both big ABBA fanatics and were open about it, even back in the late 70s. Any rocker that likes ABBA should check out the band Ghost, they are can fill an arena headling these days so it's likely that many of you know of their music.
      Their discography has so much ABBA inspired pop sorcery mixed with an tradtional late 70s/early 80s heavy metal/hard rock and a hundred other sounds from different eras. Their newest album is recorded at ABBA's old studio and you can hear the same piano as used in Money, Money, Money on two songs on that Ghost album. Spillways is one of those two. Highly recommend. Cheers mate!

    I am 88 years old and will never tire of ABBA. I listen to them almost every day and watch their videos constantly. Although I was a big "rock and roller" and rhythm and blues man I am completely obsessed with their stunning beauty and angelic voices. I am in love from afar with Agnetha and Frida......both then and today. I attend some of their tribute shows and I consider the group from Canada the best. Oddly my favorite song is "I Do, I Do, I Do. I Do, I Do" but I have about 8 that I play over and over.

I've always crushed on Agnetha(Looks like an Swedish shieldmaiden from some artists depiction in a painting) but both ladies are beautiful. Especially in this video: ) Their talent is immense, too. I Do, I Do is a great tune, my mother loved that song so i heard it a lot growing up.

      ABBA has lots of these beautiful classical style songs in their catalogue.
      ABBA is known for their big wall-of-sound, big unison (third voice) songs, but their most beautiful ones are their more classical ones which they back-off the wall-of-sound and huge third voice chorus.... These more classically inspired songs promote the emotion and beauty.
      Anni-Frid Lyngstad on lead is heavenly. She has refined vocal vocal skills and has mastered diaphragmatic breathing.
      Listen to her original 'Fernando' in Swedish, a huge solo hit for her in 1975. It's breathtakingly beautiful.
      A year later ABBA recorded this English version. Also, a huge hit for ABBA. So this is technically an ABBA cover of Anni-Frid's original Swedish language 'Fernando'.
      A few very beautiful ABBA songs that have more classical stylings.
      - One Man One Woman
      - Andante Andante
      - When All Is Said And Done
      - Gonna Sing You My Love Song
      - Like An Angel Passing Through My Room
      - Tropical Paradise
      - I, Wonder
      - I Let The Music Speak
      - Our Last Summer

      @@danbike9 Hi! Yes, indeed! "Andante, Andante", "Our Last Summer", & back to the Latin sound with "Chiquitita" - these are 3 of my faves. You saw where Metallica paid tribute to ABBA in their home country by playing "Dancing Queen", yeah? Said to myself, "Well, I can die now, because I've seen EVERYTHING!". But that just speaks to ABBA's lasting universal appeal. And, of course, there's the HUGE Broadway musical, "Mama Mia!". I think 1 thing that makes them so extraordinary is that their beautiful voices blend & harmonize so well. Listening to them is like strolling through a gorgeous formal garden - every flower, bush, & tree carefully placed to compliment all the others, presenting a perfectly coordinated whole. We're all fortunate to be able to HEAR what that garden SOUNDS like, thanks to ABBA. And thank YOU for your informative comment.

    I love Abba, 40 years ago l met my husband and was the first time I ever heard an Abba song. I have been hooked ever since. Fernando has a special meaning. He escaped communism, Romania and when he made it to America he knew he would come to Las Vegas, we worked for the same hotel and casino. The first time he felt real love, that is when he saw me. He told himself that he was going to marry me and spend the rest of his life with me, then he introduced himself and we have been together 40 years. He was on a battle field, people hunting him and his father over many countries, they made it to Italy, then after another year he found a sponsor to America. I was truly blessed when he told me who he was, a very handsome man. I am surprised he didn't have someone else but l guess life brought us half way around the world, we met and have spent our life together. God blessed us both.

    This song has always stirred me. I imagine an old Mexican couple sitting on their veranda in the evening. The old woman is singing to her elderly husband, reminding him of when they were young. He was a soldier, and she was along as a nurse or some kind of helper. They crossed the Rio Grande at Guerrero with Santa Anna, fighting against the US for the territory of Texas. But they were defeated at the Battle of San Jacinto, and Texas became part of America. After the war, the woman and the soldier returned to Mexico, where they married and had children. Now, many years later, the woman hears the drums from a festival in the town. She picks up her husband's guitar and begins to sing to the old man, who by that time is nearly deaf. She sings this song to him. Her husband, her friend. Fernando.

      Here is the alternative edition: Imagine an old Mexican toothless couple living in a battered tent in the ghetto of Mexico City. Suddenly, a mangy wild dog barges into the tent and starts to attack the chubby and dark couple. The dog instantly kills the old pancho, but knocks out the old chiquita. As she bleeds out she starts to fade away and dream about that fateful day in the muggy summer 1989 where they decided to make a run for the US border. They had grown weary of the rancid tacos. So they went into the night, armed only with a fistful of pesos and a cheap plastic toy rifle. Little did they know that night Circus Vargas had a huge event on the shores of the Rio Grande, and the big feature that night, in addition to the wet t-shirt contest, was shooting the "CHiPS" actors from a cannon. As they approached the Rio Grande, the cannons went off with great fanfare, cause them both to shat their pants and scurry back to their trailer home. Pancho turned into a recluse and refused to ever again pick up that toy rifle. Rosario felt proud that they made the attempt, but made an oath never to mention it again. The years droned on and on, and Pancho suffered from PTSD, and even with trying bootleg Viagra, could not get it up, yielding a childless marriage. Rosario, much like Hillary Clinton, stood by Pancho like the loyal hound she was. Sadly, after voting for Hillary in the latest election, they realized they would have no pesos to build that wall, and became careless about securing the tent. Some say they left the tent open and welcomed their fate with the mangy wild dog. Some say they just got tired. But the only ones that really know are now part of the local landfill owned by Soylent Green, and the toy rifle remains in tent city to this day.
