Fernando

Why are you mourning, Fernando?
Why does your guitar sound in a minor key, what's going on?
Is it love, Fernando?
Has she left you, your great, great love, is that so?
The one who has loved and lost
Knows that such things can still happen now and then

The sorrow can be heavy to bear
but that friends betray is something one must learn
I have also lost my dear one
Who are you to think that this could only happen to you?
Do you have any happy songs left
Then play, play, play them for me

Long live love, long live love
Our best friend, Fernando
Fill your glass and raise a toast to it
For love, Fernando
Play, play the melody and sing
The song of happiness
Long live love, long live love
That love, Fernando
Long live love, long live love
That love, Fernando

Shall we toast to the others
Who found eternal love and the drum that lives in every song?
Or toast with each other
Do you want to drink to the happiness that I once experienced?
It's as true as said
The beautiful tale never becomes, never long

Long live love, long live love
Our best friend, Fernando
Fill your glass and raise a toast to it
For love, Fernando
Play, play the melody and sing
The song of happiness
Long live love, long live love
That love, Fernando
Long live love, long live love
That love, Fernando

Long live love, long live love
Our best friend, Fernando
Fill your glass and raise a toast to it
For love, Fernando
Play, play the melody and sing
The song of happiness
Long live love, long live love
That love, Fernando
Long live love, long live love
That love, Fernando

Long live love, long live love
Our best friend, Fernando
Long live love, long live love
Our best friend, Fernando
