Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember
long ago another story 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 a far
They were closer now Fernando,
I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from a far
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,
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
If I had
to do the same again, I would, my friend,
Fernando
Now we're old and grey 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,
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
If I had
to do the same again, I would, my friend,
Fernando
There was

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