[00:25.52]Can you hear the drums Fernando?
[00:30.40]I remember long ago another starry night like this
[00:34.90]
[00:37.71]In the firelight Fernando
[00:40.82]
[00:42.38]You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
[00:47.03]I could hear the distant drums
[00:48.96]And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
[00:53.40]
[00:55.65]They were closer now Fernando
[00:58.47]
[01:00.29]Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
[01:04.97]
[01:07.41]I was so afraid Fernando
[01:10.48]
[01:12.10]We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
[01:16.79]And I'm not ashamed to say
[01:18.54]The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
[01:23.70]
[01:24.82]There was something in the air that night
[01:28.09]The stars were bright' Fernando
[01:32.40]
[01:33.59]They were shining there for you and me
[01:36.90]For liberty' Fernando
[01:40.82]
[01:41.51]Though I never thought that we could lose
[01:45.19]There's no regret
[01:47.39]
[01:48.96]If I had to do the same again
[01:52.21]I would' my friend' Fernando
[01:56.33]
[01:57.64]If I had to do the same again
[02:00.77]I would' my friend' Fernando
[02:05.08]
[02:20.38]Now we're old and grey Fernando
[02:23.12]
[02:24.94]And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
[02:29.93]
[02:32.06]Can you hear the drums Fernando?
[02:35.94]
[02:36.62]Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
[02:41.25]I can see it in your eyes
[02:43.31]How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
[02:47.71]
[02:49.21]There was something in the air that night
[02:52.65]The stars were bright' Fernando
[02:56.77]
[02:57.90]They were shining there for you and me
[03:01.08]For liberty' Fernando
[03:05.02]
[03:05.78]Though I never thought that we could lose
[03:09.28]There's no regret
[03:11.40]
[03:13.15]If I had to do the same again
[03:16.40]I would' my friend' Fernando
[03:20.65]
[03:21.96]There was something in the air that night
[03:24.96]The stars were bright' Fernando
[03:29.52]
[03:30.40]They were shining there for you and me
[03:33.52]For liberty' Fernando
[03:37.52]
[03:38.21]Though I never thought that we could lose
[03:41.55]There's no regret
[03:43.86]
[03:45.43]If I had to do the same again
[03:48.43]I would' my friend' Fernando
[03:52.71]
[03:53.65]Yes' if I had to do the same again
[03:57.02]I would' my friend' Fernando...
