| lyric | 1. Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I remmeber, lon gago another starry night like this,
in the firelight, Fernando,
you were humming to yourself
and softly strumming your guitar,
I could hear the distand drums
and sounds of bugle calls
were coming from a far.
2. They were closer now, Frenando,
Every hour, every minute
seemed to last eternally.
I was so afraid, Fernando,
we were yound 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.
Ref.:
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 we 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!
3. 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.
