Was the ABBA song Fernando based on a true story? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was listening to the ABBA song Fernando and I think that there's a story that's true behind it. From learning about the song Fernando is about a soldier who fights in a war and when he comes home his wife helps him remember what it was like for Fernando to fight in the war. I also do know that Cher sings Fernando in the movie Mamma Mia Here We Go Again with Andy Garcia
