Fernando

Fernando is a song by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was featured in the Season Nine episode, "Wing".

Background
Wing and her representation, Super Awesome Talent Agency, was turned down at the American Idol auditions in Los Angeles, California. Asked by another TV show offering $1000 called The Contender with Sylvester Stallone, the boys take the opportunity. It turns out to be a boxing contest and Wing sings the ABBA song "Fernando" while being punched repeatedly by her opponent Manuel Fernanda.

Lyrics
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 If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando

Now we're old and gray Fernando Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums Fernando? Do you still recall the faithful 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 If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando
