Letra Fernando Christopher Maloney

Fernando

Puedes escuchar, Fernando
me recuerda tiempo atrás
estrellas y una noche allá
en la lumbre azul Fernando
tarareabas tu canción
con ese suave guitarrear
yo podía escuchar
esos tambores con un sordo redoblar

Se acercaban más Fernando
y el momento que pasaba
parecía eternidad
y sentí temor Fernando
por la vida y juventud
nadie pensaba en morir
y no siento hoy verguenza al
confesar que tuve
ganas de llorar

Algo había alrededor quizá
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en protección Fernando
no pensábamos jamás perder
ni echar atrás
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer V lo haría ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya Fernando

La vejez llegó Fernando
y con ella una paz
que hoy logramos disfrutar
se durmió el tambor Fernando
Paraciera que fué ayer
que lo vivimos tú y yo
y en tus ojos veo aún
aquel orgullo que refleja tu valor

Algo había alrededor quizá
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en protección Fernando
no pensábamos jamás perder
ni echar atrás
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya Fernando

Algo había alrededor quizá
de claridad Fernando
que brillaba por nosotros dos
en protección Fernando
no pensábamos jamás perder
ni echar atrás
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya Fernando
si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya Fernando

Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer
lo haría ya 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 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 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
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...
