Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I remember long ago another night like this
In fire light, Fernando?
You were rumming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums and sounds of beagle calls were coming from afar.

They were close now, Fernando
Every hour, every minute seamed 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 bombs and cannons almost made me cry.

There was something in the air that night
The stars bright, Fernando
They were shinning there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never through that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to feel the same again
I would my friend, Fernando.

Now we're old and gray, Fernando
Since many years I haven it seen a riffle in you 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 bright, Fernando
They were shinning there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never through that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to feel the same again
I would my friend, Fernando
If I had to feel the same again
I would my friend, Fernando.
