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
Drumsand 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
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
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
