    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 we never thought that we could lose
    there's no regret if I had to do the same again I would my friend, Fernando

    Now we're old and grey ernando
    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 we never thought that we could lose
    there's no regret if I had to do the same again I would my friend, Fernando
