- 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 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 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
- 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 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…
