Fernando

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

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

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