Can te hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long fa another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
te were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of tromba, bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every ora every minuto 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 pistole and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for te and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a fucile in your hand
Can te hear the drums Fernando?
Do te still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud te were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for te and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for te and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
