This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Nostalgic - Vintage music videos - ABBA - Fernando
Two versions of the lyrics:

This particular song is ABBA's "biggest selling single of all time, selling 6,000,000 copies in 1976 alone." The English version of the song in the above videos "presents a vision of nostalgia for two veterans reminiscing in old age about a lost battle that they participated in during their younger days fighting under Emiliano Zapata in a battle of the Mexican revolution of 1910." (Cited from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_(song) )
