Fernando是瑞典的流行组合ABBA的单曲。ABBA,成立于1972年。乐队名称来自于四名成员的姓名前字母的缩写的组合,这两男两女在事业走上坡路时曾是两对夫妻,在事业开始下坡时又分别劳燕分飞,是流行音乐史上著名的夫妻组合也是著名的离婚组合。ABBA于1982年解散。
他们的事业在1975年开始起飞,他们的每首单曲都十分动听,并且一次次的赢得音乐榜冠军,这其中包括著名的歌曲《MammaMia》。
乐队甚至得到了令人骄傲的头衔——GreatestHits(最伟大的音乐榜冠军)紧接着,他们的音乐巅峰时代随着唱片《1976》的发行而到来。这张唱片比其他的任何唱片都要完美,在音乐创作和录音方面,这张唱片都达到音乐创作的新高度。
唱片中的许多音乐打榜成功,这包括《KnowingMe,KnowingYou》、《Fernando》以及使ABBA功成名就的打榜歌曲《DancingQueen》。一系列的成功使乐队财源广进。这时的ABBA在英国和澳洲极受欢迎,但在美国市场仍旧反应平平。《DancingQueen》是ABBA乐队在美国唯一的一支冠军歌曲。
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 we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
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 fateful 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 we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
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 we 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...
