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
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
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 RioGrande?
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
If I
had to do the same again
I
would, my friend, Fernando
