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
They were close 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
Fernando
They were shining there for
you and me
For liberty
Fernando
Though we never thought that
we could lose
There's no regret
lf I had to do the
same again
I would my friend
Fernando
lf I had to do the
same again
I would my friend
Fernando
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
Fernando
They were shining there for
you and me
For liberty
Fernando
Though we never thought that
we could lose
There's no regret
lf 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
you and me
For liberty
Fernando
Though we never thought that
we could lose
There's no regret
lf 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
lf I had to do the
same again
I would my friend
Fernando
