ABBA - Fernando
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
|
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
|
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
|
