Can you hear the drumsFernando
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelightFernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I can hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer nowFernando
Every hourevery minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraidFernando
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 brightFernando
They were shining there for you and me for libertyFernando
Though we never thought that we could lose there s no regret
If I had to do the same againI would my friendFernando
If I had to do the same againI would my friendFernando

Now we re old and greyFernando
Since many years I haven t see a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drumsFernando
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 brightFernando
They were shining there for you and me for libertyFernando
Though we never thought that we could lose there s no regret
If I had to do the same againI would my friendFernando

There was something in the air that night the stars were brightFernando
They were shining there for you and me for libertyFernando
Though we never thought that we could lose there s no regret
If I had to do the same againI would my friendFernando
Yesif I had to do the same againI would my friendFernando
If I had to do the same againI would my friendFernando...
