another starry night like this
In the firelight, Fernando
You were humming to yourself
and Sophie strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
and sounds of bugle calls
Every hour, every minute,
I was so afraid, Fernando
We were young and full of life,
but none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
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,
No, I never thought that we
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
I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
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,
Though I never thought that
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 I never thought that
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
YES IF I HAD TO DO THE SAME AGAIN,
I WOULD MY FRIEND VERNADO
