Can you hear the drums, Fernando
Can you hear the drums, 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
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Can you hear the drums, Fernando
Can you hear the drums, 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
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

Hoor jij ook de drums, Fernando
Hoor jij ook de drums, Fernando
Hoor jij ook de drums Fernando
Ik herinner mijn nog goed die heldere
Sterrennacht van toen
In het schemerlicht Fernando
Je zong zachtjes in jezelf en speelde mee op je gitaar
En ik hoorde in de verte sterren zingen over vrijheid luid en klaar
Het gevaar was dicht Fernando
Ieder uur, elk minuut kon nu voor ons de laatste zijn
En ik was zo bang Fernando
Want we waren veel te jong om zomaar zinloos heen te gaan
En ik voelde me zo blij wanneer ik hoor dat jet vrede was voortaan
Er was vreugde overal die nacht
Want niemand dacht, Fernando
Dat de vrijheid niet lang blijven zou
Verdwijnen zou, Fernando
Ook al was de vreugde kort van duur
Niemand had spijt
Iedereen zou voor zijn vrienden toen
Hetzelfde doen, Fernando
Het is lang voorbij Fernando
Alles wat er toen gebeurde, dat is nu verleden tijd
Hoor jij nog de drums Fernando
Jij hebt nu al vele jaren geen geweer meer in je hand
En ik zie vaak in je ogen dat je trots bent op de vrede in dit land
Er was vreugde overal die nacht
Want niemand dacht, Fernando
Dat de vrijheid niet lang blijven zou
Verdwijnen zou, Fernando
Ook al was de vreugde kort van duur
Niemand had spijt
Iedereen zou voor zijn vrienden toen
Hetzelfde doen, Fernando
Hoor jij ook de drums, Fernando
Hoor jij ook de drums, Fernando
Er was vreugde overal die nacht
Want niemand dacht, Fernando
Dat de vrijheid niet lang blijven zou
Verdwijnen zou, Fernando
Ook al was de vreugde kort van duur
Niemand had spijt
Iedereen zou voor zijn vrienden toen
Hetzelfde doen, Fernando
Er was vreugde overal die nacht
Want niemand dacht, Fernando
Dat de vrijheid niet lang blijven zou
Verdwijnen zou, Fernando
Ook al was de vreugde kort van duur
Niemand had spijt
Iedereen zou voor zijn vrienden toen
Hetzelfde doen, Fernando
