Tong-ki tong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ri-ki kong-kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong
Ri kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Fernando, Fernando
Gitarist uit Santiago
Speelt de hele avond solo
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio
Filippo, Filippo
Is heel anders dan Fernando
Heus die stapt niet in z’n auto
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio
Maar Fernando die verlangt zo naar haar
Ook al is hij moe, hij pakt z’n gitaar
Geeft z’n liedjes en z’n liefde cadeau aan haar
In San Antonio
Fernando, Fernando
Gitarist uit Santiago
Speelt de hele avond solo
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio
Tong-ki tong ti-ki tong-tong-tong
Ri-ki tong-tong-tong ti-ki kong-kong
Ri kong-tong ti-ki tong-tong-rong
Ti-ki tong-tong-tong
Fernando, Fernando
Gitarist uit Santiago
Speelt de hele avond solo
En rijdt dan nog naar San Antonio
Ongelukkig valt het lot op een keer
Op een nacht vindt hij zijn meisje niet meer
Zij ging ‘s avonds naar Filippo
Verdween alleen uit San Antonio
Filippo, Filippo
Zegt nu ‘s avonds tot Fernando:
“Wacht nog even, want ze komt zo”
“Ze komt voor mij uit San Antonio”
Tong-ki tong ri-ki kong-kong-tong
Ti-ki kong-kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong
Ri kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Tong-ki tong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ri-ki kong-kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong
Ri kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ti-ki kong-kong-kong *
Fernando, Fernando
A guitarist from Santiago
Plays the whole evening alone
Yet he still drives to San Antonio
Filippo, Filippo
Is completely different from Fernando
He still gets into his car, really
Yet he still drives to San Antonio
But Fernando is still obsessed with her
Even though he's tired, he takes his guitar
Gives her his songs and love as a present
In San Antonio
Fernando, Fernando
A guitarist from Santiago
Plays the whole evening alone
Yet he still drives to San Antonio
Tong-ki tong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ri-ki kong-kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong
Ri kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Fernando, Fernando
A guitarist from Santiago
Plays the whole evening alone
Yet he still drives to San Antonio
But once the odds weren't in his favour
One night he couldn't find his girl
She went to Filippo in the morning
Disappeared alone in San Antonio
Filippo, Filippo
He says to Fernando in the morning:
"Just wait a while, she will be here soon,
She's coming for me in San Antonio"
Tong-ki tong ri-ki kong-kong-tong
Ti-ki kong-kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong
Ri kong-kong ti-ki kong-kong-kong
Ti-ki kong-kong-kong
