Fernando Lyrics

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 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, Fernando

 They were shining there for you and me

 For liberty, Fernando

 Though I 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 rifle in your hand

 Can you hear the drums Fernando?

 Do you still recall the frightful 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 I 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 you and me

 For liberty, Fernando

 Though I 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...
