¿Puedes escuchar, Fernando
me recuerda tiempo atrs
estrellas y una noche all
en la lumbre azul Fernando
tarareabas tu cancin
con ese suave guitarrear
yo poda escuchar
esos tambores con un sordo redoblar
Se acercaban ms Fernando
y el momento que pasaba
pareca eternidad
y sent temor Fernando
por la vida y juventud
nadie pensaba en morir
y no siento hoy verguenza al
confesar que tuve
ganas de llorar
Algo haba alrededor quiz
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en proteccin Fernando
no pensbamos jams perder
ni echar atrs
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer V lo hara ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo hara ya Fernando
La vejez lleg Fernando
y con ella una paz
que hoy logramos disfrutar
se durmi el tambor Fernando
Paraciera que fu ayer
que lo vivimos t y yo
y en tus ojos veo an
aquel orgullo que refleja tu valor
Algo haba alrededor quiz
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en proteccin Fernando
no pensbamos jams perder
ni echar atrs
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo hara ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo hara ya Fernando
Algo haba alrededor quiz
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en proteccin Fernando
no pensbamos jams perder
ni echar atrs
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo hara ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo hara ya Fernando
Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo hara ya Fernando
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...
