Fernando Lyrics - X Factor (uk)

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 gray Fernando 

Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand 

Can you hear the drums Fernando? 

Do you still recall the faithful 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, 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
