Discover the story of the song > Fernando Live Wembley Arena – Abba

The protagonist is reminiscing about a night a long time ago when they were with their partner, Fernando. They were sitting by a fire and Fernando was playing the guitar. In the distance, they could hear drums and bugle calls. They felt afraid because they were young and didn't want to die, but the sounds of war made them emotional. The stars in the sky that night seemed to be shining for them, symbolizing liberty. Now, many years later, the protagonist and Fernando are old and haven't been involved in war for a long time. They still remember that night and how proud they were to fight for freedom. If they had to do it all again, they would, because there is no regret.
