Can you hear the drums
Fernando?~
I remember long ago
Another starry night like this
In the fire~ light Fernando~
You were humming to yourself
And softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls
Were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every hour~ every minute
Seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando~
We were young and full of life
And none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons
Almost made~ me cry
There was something
In the air~ that night
The stars~ were bright
Fernan~do
They were shining there
For you~and me
For li~berty
Fernan~do
Though we never thought
That we could lose
There's no regret~
If I had to do the same~ again
I would my friend Fernan~do
If I had to do the same~ again
I would my friend
Fernan~do
Now we're old and grey Fernando~
Since many years
I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums
Fernando?~
Do you still recall the
Fateful night
We crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight
For freedom in this land
There was something
In the air~ that night
The stars~ were bright
Fernan~do
They were shining there
For you~ and me
For li~berty
Fernan~do
Though we never thought
That we could lose~
There's no regret~
If I had to do the same~ again
I would~ my friend
Fernan~do
There was something
In the air~ that night
The stars~ were bright
Fernan~do
They were shining there
For you~ and me
For li~berty
Fernan~do
Though we never thought
That we could lose~
There's no regret~
If I had to do the same~ again
I would~ my friend
Fernan~do
Yes if I had to do the same~ again
I would~ my friend
Fernan~do
