Can u hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long geleden another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
u were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of hoorn, bugel calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
Every uur every minuut 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 u 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 geweer-, geweer in your hand
Can u hear the drums Fernando?
Do u still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud u 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 u 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 u 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...
