Tradsinger	Info? Dom Fernando (Portuguese ballad) (3)	Info? Dom Fernando (Portuguese ballad)	24 Aug 10
Here's a tricky one for you. When I was in Portugal last year, a lady gave me the words of a ballad that her father used to sing. Does anyone know anything more about it, other versions, etc? Here is a gist of the story: Dom Fernando is fighting in the wars, but he is sad as he has not seen his lover for 7 years. He goes back to see her to be told that she is dead. On the way back, an apparition appears to him, saying that she is his lover. He asks, where are your lips, arms, eyes? She says that they are under the ground. At the end, the gates of heaven open and she leaves him. Spooky or what? Any info? Tradsinger
