Fernando
ABBAOriginal | La versione spagnola da questa pagina: |
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 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, 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 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... | 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 vergüenza 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 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 fue 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. |
