HERNANDO
(to the tune of "Fernando" by ABBA)
We can hear the winds, Hernando
We remember not long ago another snowy night like this
By the fireside, Hernando
You are dumping show and briskly blowing drifts around
We can hear distant rumbles
And sounds of shoveling are coming from near and far
You are closer now, Hernando
Every hour, every minute, seem to last eternally
We won’t be afraid, Hernando
We aren’t young but full of life and all of us prepared to fight
And we’re not ashamed to say
The roaring winds and shoveling almost make us cry
There is something in the air tonight
The snow’s not light, Hernando
It is snowing now for you and me
What a pity, Hernando
This snow we thought that we could move
But no place to put
And we’ll have to do it all again
Shoveling with our friends, Hernando
And we’ll have to do it all again
Shoveling with our friends, Hernando
Now we're old and gray, Hernando
Since many years, you haven't seen a shovel in our hands
Can you hear snow blowers, Hernando?
Do you still recall the snowy night we crossed the Rio Grande?
You can still see it in our eyes
How proud we are to fight for pathways on our lands
There is something in the air tonight
The snow’s not light, Hernando
It is snowing now for you and me
What a pity, Hernando
This snow we thought that we could move
But no place to put
And we’ll have to do it all again
Shoveling with our friends, Hernando
And we’ll have to do it all again
Shoveling with our friends, Hernando
