ABBA - 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...
