Originally
"Fernando" was written for group member Anni-Frid Lyngstad and was
included on her 1975 album Frida Ensam. The following year, the song was
re-recorded by Abba. The new version, with completely different lyrics
by Björn Ulvaeus, presents a vision of nostalgia for two veterans
reminiscing in old age about a long-ago battle in which they
participated. "Fernando" climbed atop the hitlists in United Kingdom,
Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland,
Portugal, and Ireland. On the Countdown Chart 1976 "Fernando" ranked at
no.2 with a total of 7,517,000 points. |
