[00:26.02]Can you hear the drums Fernando?
[00:30.90]I remember long ago another starry night like this
[00:35.40]
[00:38.21]In the firelight Fernando
[00:41.32]
[00:42.88]You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
[00:47.53]I could hear the distant drums
[00:49.46]And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
[00:53.90]
[00:56.15]They were closer now Fernando
[00:58.97]
[01:00.79]Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
[01:05.47]
[01:07.91]I was so afraid Fernando
[01:10.98]
[01:12.60]We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
[01:17.29]And I'm not ashamed to say
[01:19.04]The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
[01:24.20]
[01:25.32]There was something in the air that night
[01:28.59]The stars were bright' Fernando
[01:32.90]
[01:34.09]They were shining there for you and me
[01:37.40]For liberty' Fernando
[01:41.32]
[01:42.01]Though I never thought that we could lose
[01:45.69]There's no regret
[01:47.89]
[01:49.46]If I had to do the same again
[01:52.71]I would' my friend' Fernando
[01:56.83]
[01:58.14]If I had to do the same again
[02:01.27]I would' my friend' Fernando
[02:05.58]
[02:20.88]Now we're old and grey Fernando
[02:23.62]
[02:25.44]And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
[02:30.43]
[02:32.56]Can you hear the drums Fernando?
[02:36.44]
[02:37.12]Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
[02:41.75]I can see it in your eyes
[02:43.81]How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
[02:48.21]
[02:49.71]There was something in the air that night
[02:53.15]The stars were bright' Fernando
[02:57.27]
[02:58.40]They were shining there for you and me
[03:01.58]For liberty' Fernando
[03:05.52]
[03:06.28]Though I never thought that we could lose
[03:09.78]There's no regret
[03:11.90]
[03:13.65]If I had to do the same again
[03:16.90]I would' my friend' Fernando
[03:21.15]
[03:22.46]There was something in the air that night
[03:25.46]The stars were bright' Fernando
[03:30.02]
[03:30.90]They were shining there for you and me
[03:34.02]For liberty' Fernando
[03:38.02]
[03:38.71]Though I never thought that we could lose
[03:42.05]There's no regret
[03:44.36]
[03:45.93]If I had to do the same again
[03:48.93]I would' my friend' Fernando
[03:53.21]
[03:54.15]Yes' if I had to do the same again
[03:57.52]I would' my friend' Fernando...
