Can you hear the drums
 Fernando
 I remember long ago
 another starry night
 like this
 In the firelight Fernando
 You were humming to
 your self and softly
 strumming your guitar
 I could hear
 the distant drums
 And sounds of bugle calls
 were coming from the far
 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 we never though
 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 have'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 we never though
 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 we never though
 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
 If I had to do the same
 again I would my friend
 Fernando
