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.
