  • 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

  • If I had to do the same again

  • I would, my friend, Fernando

  • Now we're old and grey, Fernando

  • 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 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...

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
