(DANCE)
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
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 pray Fernando
