Puedes escuchar Fernando?

me recuerda tiempo atrás

estrellas y una noche allá

en la lumbre azul Fernando

tarareabas tu canción

con ese suave guitarrear

yo podía escuchar

esos tambores con un sordo redoblar

Se acercaban más fernando

y el momento que pasaba

parecía eternidad

y sentí temor Fernando

por la vida y juventud

nadie pensaba en morir

y no siento hoy verguenza al

confesar que tuve

ganas de llorar

Algo había alrededor quizá

de claridad Fernando

que brillaba por nosotros dos

en protección Fernando

no pensábamos jamás perder

ni echar atrás

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo haría ya Fernando

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo haría ya Fernando

La vejez llegó Fernando

y con ella una paz

que hoy logramos disfrutar

se durmió el tambor Fernando

Paraciera que fué ayer

que lo vivimos tú y yo

y en tus ojos veo aún

aquel orgullo que refleja tu valor.

Algo había alrededor quizá

de claridad Fernando

que brillaba por nosotros dos

en protección Fernando

no pensábamos jamás perder

ni echar atrás

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo haría ya Fernando

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo haría ya Fernando

Algo había alrededor quizá

de claridad Fernando

que brillaba por nosotros dos

en protección Fernando

no pensábamos jamás perder

ni echar atrás

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo haría ya Fernando

si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo haría ya Fernando

Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

lo haría ya Fernando

Repeata y "fade"

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

And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando

Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally

I was so afraid Fernando

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

And I'm not ashamed to say

The roar of guns 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

For liberty, Fernando

Though I never thought 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

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand

Can you hear the drums Fernando?

Do you still recall the frightful 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 something in the air that night

The stars were bright, Fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For liberty, Fernando

Though I never thought that we could lose

There's no regret

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

For liberty, Fernando

Though I never thought that we could lose

There's no regret

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...
