ABBA - Fernando

Can you hear the drums, Fernando ?
I remember long ago

Another starry night like this
In the fire light, Fernando ?
You were humming to yourselft

And softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums

And sounds and bugle calls

Were coming for a far

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 roars of guns and cannons

Almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shinning there for you and me
For liberty Fernando

Though we never though 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 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 fateful night

We crossed the Rio Grande ?
I could 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 shinning there for you and me
For liberty Fernando

Though we never though 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 shinning there for you and me
For liberty Fernando

Though we never though 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
