Fernando Lyrics

Lyric discussion by VardonVoo 

Cover art for Fernando lyrics by ABBA

This is a very well written and moving song which I understand is supposed to be about the Spanish civil war from the point of view of the losing side. I don't get the reference to 'crossing the Rio Grande' unless the capitalisation was not in the original lyric and it simply refers to a large river.

@VardonVoo not about the Spanish Civil War but about two soldiers reminiscence on the war between Texas and Mexico, which explains the Rio Grande reference too.
