ABBA - fernando

been listening to this song and sending it to people that matter online. i always say life's bittersweet, and it is, but one must never forget the sweetness of it all.
the past few days have reminded me of how important brotherhood is, when the going gets tough they are always the ones you rely on. and yes, this song is a perfect toast to that. the future may beckon, but all of you are a part of it.

on another note, i had Georgetown admissions interview today at the American Club, i've a good mind to email Columbia and change my application to regular decision now. lynette and the others were right, and i was only deluding myself, SFS is where i want to be & today's interview cemented that view. to be a part of it all, to be one of them, what would i give? everything, except all of you who have given my life meaning and made the tough journey so enjoyable...

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 tonight
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 so 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 grey, 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
