Can you hear the drums Fernando
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
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
Though we never thought that we could lose
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
Now we're old and grey Fernando
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
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
Though we never thought that we could lose
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
Though we never thought that we could lose
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
