FERNANDO

BY ABBA

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 & sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar.

 

I was so afraid Fernando

We were young and full of life &none of us prepared to die

& I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

 

Ther was somethng in the air that night

the stars were so bright Fernando

They were shining there for you and me for liberty Fernando.

 

Though we neveer thoughtt 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 Fernando

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...................Fernando.
