Abba - Fernando

[evapolemi]

Thank you for the interesting info below the song!!!

[1bridlington]

Brilliant...best two women duo ever...

[MrRegina1961]

nessa epoca eu morava em Guarulhos sp ,estava namorando um rapaz por nome de Joel Pinheiro de Paula,carioca,estava apaixonada ,mas não durou muito tempo ele foi embora pro rio e nunca mais soube dele,que saudade deste tempo.

[herminia449]

que hermosas canciones las del grupo abba ,no me canso de escucharlas que lastima que nunca vinieron a chile

[Ben998x]

la letra dice rio grande... tal ves se trata de la guerra de santa ana... investiguemos esto

[Ben998x]

Fernando... was real... french/ spanish war... the drums beats.. at war.. Napoleon's troops hearing the spanish guns... fernando was a commander in those days...

[DrKant70]

@Ben998x ¿un español cruzando el Rio Grande? mas bien Fernado era un revolucionario mexicano, la vestimenta de las chicas abba lo confirma.

[Ben998x]

@DrKant70 en donde y cuando dije yo esa stupidez? yo dije que era talvez un militar espanol en la guerra Fraco / espanola" los tambores son militares.. habla de napoleon y otras cosas...

[DrKant70]

@Ben998x Es improbable, checa que la cancion menciona que cruzaron el Rio Grande o Rio Bravo como le llamamos aqui.

[ratryeti]

@DrKant70 eu amo esse grupo pois me faz viajar a um tempo muito bom de minha vida meu nome é eliane

[DrKant70]

@ratryeti Es un placer, a mi tambien Abba me regresa a mi infancia,me llamo antonio, es portugues lo que escribiste ¿eres brasileña-brasileña?

(É um prazer, eu também me Abba de volta à minha infância, meu nome é antonio, o que você escreveu é o Português Brasil-brasileira é você?)

[claudinhodymello]

[lily27451]

A boa música nunca é esquecida ,obrigado a quem postou, é simplesmente lindo

[Massman9er]

Played this song for my mother a year befor she died. She askd me to get the album and loved all the songs, esp Fernando. She said "every day with Abba, is a good day" Now im so glad i got it for her

[rosiclerization]

maravilhosos , pena que acabou

[sirdelrio]

Where's that stupid british blond journalist from the 'a is for abba' documentary? where is she now? i want her to see this and say with a straight face that Frida was not beautiful, that her hair was ugly, and that she looked like Agnetha's grandmother!! This gorgeous porcelain doll.

[mariojoaosilva1]

linda música,ABBA, grandes susseços

[mcnoobert]

Fernando at work doesn't like this song =( We love singing it though =)

[lauris0290]

[tucanaira]

Excelente!

[happytoonlink]

Algun dia viajare por el mundo para volver a reunirlos tengo que hacerlo

[jorgeoscar1000]

i like it, but is a comunist song

[Steppak]

@jorgeoscar1000 if you re mind it s com song. You never lived in there time and in com. state.

[sirdelrio]

@jorgeoscar1000 it's not a communist song, but about two veterans who lost battle during the mexican revolution. that revolution was against a tyrant, Porfirio Diaz, and gave birth to the mexican constitution, so pretty much a democratic movement. And even if it was communist, isnt it beautifull enough to avoid the 'but'. Probably you are from a country that hates communism, i personally think is a terrible economic system, and reject it on such grounds, but i dont see it as 'evil'.

[sirdelrio]

@jorgeoscar1000 aunque no se por que te escribi en ingles, si eres jorge oscar. saludos.

[Lockemeister]

40 people don't like Fernando.

[mariannewalravens]

my friend Fernando Garcia

[mrHh02082002]

I love ABBA !

[mjk22100]

I love Frida.

[ArizonaKnightWolf]

I know as a dedicated Rocker, I am supposed to hate groups like ABBA , but I can't tell a lie: I LOVE ABBA!! Always have, always will. It is a guilty pleasure to hear the Swedish supergroup!!

[dantetemple]

My recollection of Abba is very blurd as compared to the Beegees and Beatles. But my aunt was crazy about Abba. Specially on the love story that transpired between the 4 of them, which I didn't remember very well. This song intrigues many people, as to what War they are talking about. Rio Grand could suggest it's not in Asia but still lots of people think it's about an American soldier from the Korean war.

[Deej1125]

@dantetemple There are only two wars that I can remember involving the Rio Grande, The Mexican American War, and in 1917 ( I believe) when Pancho Villa raided the US across the Rio Grande. I have no idea why a Swedish group would be singing about either of those though.

[mjk22100]

@Deej1125 och. look up that word. that describes your love life.

[frestolcol]

@Deej1125 you better keep your life back there,,,, like south of the river!!!! YOU DON'TM KNOW abba'.

LET ME TELL YOU  united state of northamerica ,,, are not longer the center of the world.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!it never was.and regarding music and culture as a whole.... you don't have a record.

[Deej1125]

@frestolcol South of what river? I have known ABBA since the 70's. Can you read English, or are you just drunk? Either way you are making no sense whatever.

[earthborne]

Since I was 6, this song has never, ever, ever failed to make me cry upon hearing it.

[ConfucianScholar]

Beautiful song from the 70's....I was in my 70's when it first came out.

[pryscylla12311]

They both have unique voices. Very talented women!

[TheOld45man]

you can`t mix business with personal lives . if they didn`t they may be still around such a waste of talent but they still rock!!!

[BullCricket75]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT!

[bollos211530]

My name is Fernando... I've been haunted by this song all of my life.

But I still like it!

[TheTotococo123]

@bollos211530 I am the only one Fernando ;)

[TheTotococo123]

@bollos211530 Y soy de Rio Grande!

[blahhhhh10940]

I love ABBA, their songs are so beautiful and sweet. :D Fernando is by far my favorite, and it's really quite nice in Spanish too. :DDD ABBA ROCKS. Hehe

[salvyy]

Still can't believe that a bunch of Swedes, who are not really that known in the world for having good taste, were able to come up with such beautiful melody.

[IanWrites]

I LOVE YOU FRIDA !!!

[Drydoc2]

Thanks for the history in the description. Each of the girls could sing on their own ability, but the harmony/sound they produced was unique and incredible, 

[Raincitywarrior]

hi FEz

[leafyutube]

I was part of ABBA in the 70's but they kicked me out of the group. My name starts with "E", so we were called ABBAE, but that didn't sound too hip, so they threw me out and changed the name to ABBA. I should be getting royalties from this music.

[hannahc925]

i saw ABBA perform this last night at a concert. It was amazing!

[damanfrom808]

awesome!!! what a great blend of voices. and good looking too.

[thisismewhy]

deport Fernando and prosecute Abba for being co-conspirators in a human smuggling ring

[DataID]

Priceless treasure...

[madebona]

Anos da mocidade, eternas músicas, Fazem parte de nossas vidas, sempre. A melhor banda de nossa época.

[mrgksinha]

One of the all time greats. Feel so nostalgic seeing it live on Youtube. I think one of the greatest things to happen is internet. It is bringing back our childhood days. keep it up. God bless you guys

[weepingboy3]

There was a time when I was young and life was an endless opportunity to find my dreams. Then something happened between my childhood and manhood, OLD AGE. I never knew why time seemed to vanish and all the dreams never to be realized. So if you are young follow your dreams but don't forget to live your dreams

[liubagazimagomaeva]

Avete ragione- veramente fantastici., sempre piu belle. ABBA e gruppo-stella che non tramontera ancora tanto tanto tempo. Ledi GAGAKA  e Emineni moreranno presto a gruppo come ABBA non tramontera maiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

[MrCavalier14]

bad music is the flavor of the week, good music sticks in your head and great music is around forever

[Demian3667]

I am sorry but I will say my feellings in Spanish:

ESTA ES MI CANCIÓN PREFERIDA PERO QUISIERA SABER SI EN U.S.A. EN ALGUN MOMENTO FUE SACADA DE la LISTA DE CANCIONES DE ABBA.

[merrimacc462]

@Demian3667 La primera vez yo he oido esa cancion fue in Costa Rica en 1979 pero he oido muches veces en los estados desde entonces. La musica de ABBA es appreciatede mucho en los Estado Unidos.

Nunca fue sacada ningun de las canciones de ABBA

[deanjet]

I grew up listening to Abba, I still love their music!

[MAREBLU2000]

fantastici,sempre bellissssssssssssimo ascoltarli,emozionante 

[MAREBLU2000]

[kevin184988]

SHE IS SO HOT IS LIKE RYAN WANT TO MARRY HER

[drumbeeter]

[AZstarwatcher]

@drumbeeter no, but I like that part.

[kevin184988]

my bother can;t stop singing because he love ABBa

[TouchMeKnott]

Beautiful, profound lyrics; very nice performance. I love this song and play it myself, and get the chills every time on " now we're old and gray Fernando,and since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand, can you hear the drums, Fernando?" That can be sung and played with such passion.

[kevin184988]

SHE IS HOT I WANT TO MARRY HER

[MrBabyBlue1991]

classic I am just 18 years old but I used to listen this song with 6 years old

[Ivonne0423]

Ellas estan cantando y no están usando zapatos, estan descalsas.

[Ivonne0423]

Fernando, es una cancion dedicada a los mejicanos que cruzan arriesgando sus vidas el Rio Bravo para U.S.A. Ponganle cuidado a la letra. Ellos sabían la situacion de muchos inmigrantes que corren para un mejor futuro. It"s a great song and great lyric.

[Delphicapollo]

This video is needlessly restricted so that it cannot be viewed on smart phones or tablets. This restriction is pointless: An iPhone has the same playback as an iPod. Stop these needless restrictions!

[DominicPaddanaram]

Abba is Awesome

[7zehel]

someone know who is fernardo?

[EggmanGoog]

Frida's version of Fernando was never released as a single in Sweden. It was however released in Norway where it failed to chart.

[kevin184988]

i might sing when i am sad

[20musicislife05]

Singing barefoot is soo cool of them :D

[909mitch]

Little barefoot toes-ies!! How delightful. Everybody should sing barefoot!

[vsuripa]

Back then Fernando is a beautiful song. Now days he drive a Ferrari F1.

[blitreed]

its about the Mexican revolution of 1910 under Zapata...2 old vets recalling running into the US after a defeat.

[meminpinguin41]

@blitreed That's right.

Unfortunally the two characters were not real.

[fingerme100]

Manifest Destiny.

[mjk22100]

that was beautiful. thank you Abba.

[aluzzz000]

Sit back … close your eyes … and enjoy two of the most beautiful voices ever!

[1agnethafan]

@aluzzz000 - The only solo ABBA song is Frida in "Like an angel passing through my room" so in EVERY song there are two beautiful voices singing including Agnetha's leads just like this is Frida's lead.

[aluzzz000]

@1agnethafan Both Agnetha and Frida meet the highest world class separately but as you may know, is Agnetha my girl. She has something more that makes me melt like ice cream in sunshine. Anyway (sorry), it couldn't have been easy for Bjorn and Benny to write songs with a fair distribution between Agnetha and Frida, considering their different voices to have the lead BUT now we know that they did an incredible job!!

[20musicislife05]

@aluzzz000 - sorry to burst your bubble but she doesn't look like that anymore. 

[aluzzz000]

@20musicislife05 Finally!! I have been waiting for some genius to come up with that comment so congratulations, you're the first my friend! You have completely missed the point. Is there anywhere in this world of stress and chaos you can live in a bubble, it's here, in YouTube's own little world.

[denide38mason]

their will never be another group like abba 

[SethBenjaminThompson]

@denide38mason Aint that the truth lol

[Voltigefan]

I LOVE ABBA

ABBA has beatiful songs and very crazy kostumes :)

In the songs of ABBA we can feel they heart, our live and a lot of other important things.

[Cort1963]

First it was The Mamas & Papas, followed by ABBA and then Ace of Base! Almost like three generations of very similar groups progressing through time! Loved them all and wish they were still around, especially Ace of Base!

[InkoIning]

This song intrigued me. As a boy in the 70's I thought the song referred to World War II and I imagine my father and my uncles who were young boys back then and were middle aged in the 70's. But now hearing the song again I think it refers to a different war. I'm curious what war this song is talking about.

[paulseattleusa]

@InkoIning Probably the Mexican War with USA in 1846. A battle on April 25 was won by Mexico north of the Rio Grande. Mexico was much weaker, however, and lost this needless war. In any case this is a great song with the beautiful close harmony. Even though it is probably their biggest hit, it's unusual in that Frida sings lead and it's Agnetha with the rich alto. No group will ever match Abba.

[Cort1963]

@InkoIning I think this refers to The Alamo with the lyric about crossing the Rio Grande, but I'm certainly not sure! OR, it could be about Pershing chasing Pancho Villa in 1914/15? Very intriguing to be sure!

[meminpinguin41]

@Cort1963 Get your facts straight.

And try to get the real history, not only the one that is been said in the US.

[pechowiec13]

Super muzyka.

Taka muza mi odpowiada.

Pozdrawiam.

[ericyanikov]

Thank you heartly, Frida, Agnetta, Benny and Bjorn...

[macvatu]

Down to earth, that's what they were in those days. They made beautiful music which we all like and always turned out with lovely costumes. The Australians I met here in UK all loved ABBA and I went with some of them to see Abba for the last time at Wembley Arena in 1979. I remember too the TV footage of Abba's Aussie Tour in 1976 - fantastic it was. There was a heatwave over the UK that year and the Montreal Olympics was also on, just lovely memories now.

[33french33]

how many ppl skipped to this version to avoid vevo commercials

[nagee76]

36 people disliked this song. Now that is what i call blasphemy and sacrilege. This is truly the music of the Gods

[CrazyNative4]

that's the same clothes that many of the indian women of Oaxaca wear! so cool !

:)

[CrazyNative4]

beautiful song!

[Mallorysmom4]

WOW!! This is incredible!!! I have had a blast from the past ;)

[classicrockdrumming]

@MAinsworth0375 i agree, i just wish some body would tell them that what is going on today is not music, they are being mislead, thank god for at least 50 yrs. of real musical talent, 30's to 80's.

[natsumeluvme]

Where is my fernando..why he can't be in mindanao for me..and made me cry and leave my heart in pain..

I'm a hardcore Soul music fan,but these folks have captivated me for years.These 2 women sing like Angels,and that makes this old devil happy.What beautiful voices!!

A true gift to all music fans.

[nightnurse49]

this was an era when lyrics actually mattered, look at their style of dress and listen to their lyrics. nowadays,you have to look with a magnifying glass to see the artist clothing and lyrical context. long live Abba 's music.
