Can you hear the drums Fernando? |
I remember long ago another |
starry night like this |
In the firelight 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 |
Chorus: |
There was something in the air that night |
The stars were bright, Fernando |
They were shining there for you 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 |
If I had to do the same again |
I would, my friend, Fernando |
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 |
Bridge: |
x2 |
Now we're old and grey Fernando |
And 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 freeedom in this land |
