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 we 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
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 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 we 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 we never thought that we could lose

I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
Peux-tu entendre les tambours, Fernando ?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
Je me souviens, il y a longtemps, d'une autre nuit étoilée comme celle-ci
In the firelight, Fernando
Dans la lumière du feu, Fernando
You were humming to yourself
Tu fredonnais pour toi-même
And softly strumming your guitar
Et doucement tu grattais ta guitare
I could hear the distant drums
Je pouvais entendre les tambours au loin
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
Et les sons des appels de clairon venaient de loin
They were closer now, Fernando
Ils étaient maintenant plus proches, Fernando
Every hour, every minute, seemed to last eternally
Chaque heure, chaque minute, semblait durer éternellement
I was so afraid, Fernando
J'avais si peur, Fernando
We were young and full of life
Nous étions jeunes et pleins de vie
And none of us prepared to die
Et aucun de nous n'était prêt à mourir
And I'm not ashamed to say
Et je n'ai pas honte de le dire
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
Le rugissement des fusils et des canons m'a presque fait pleurer
There was something in the air that night
Il y avait quelque chose dans l'air cette nuit-là
The stars were bright, Fernando
Les étoiles étaient brillantes, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
Elles brillaient là pour toi et moi
For liberty, Fernando
Pour la liberté, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
Bien que nous n'ayons jamais pensé que nous pourrions perdre
There's no regret
Il n'y a aucun regret
If I had to do the same again
Si je devais refaire la même chose
I would, my friend, Fernando
Je le ferais, mon ami, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
Si je devais refaire la même chose
I would, my friend, Fernando
Je le ferais, mon ami, Fernando
