Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
Bisakah kau mendengar genderang, Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
Aku ingat dulu malam berbintang lain seperti ini
In the firelight, Fernando
Di cahaya api, Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
Kau bergumam sendiri dan lembut memetik gitarmu
I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls
Aku bisa mendengar genderang jauh dan suara terompet
They were closer now, Fernando
Mereka semakin dekat sekarang, Fernando
Every hour, every minute seemed to last eternally
Setiap jam, setiap menit terasa abadi
I was so afraid, Fernando
Aku sangat takut, Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
Kita muda dan penuh semangat dan tak ada yang siap mati
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons
Dan aku tak malu mengatakan raungan senjata dan meriam
Hampir membuatku menangis
There was something in the air that night
Ada sesuatu di udara malam itu
The stars were bright, Fernando
Bintang-bintang bersinar terang, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
Mereka bersinar untukmu dan aku
Untuk kebebasan, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
Meski kita tak pernah pikir bisa kalah
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
Jika harus melakukannya lagi, aku akan, temanku, Fernando
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
Jika harus melakukannya lagi, aku akan, temanku, Fernando
Now we're old and gray, Fernando
Sekarang kita tua dan beruban, Fernando
Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Sudah bertahun-tahun aku tak melihat senapan di tanganmu
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
Bisakah kau mendengar genderang, Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
Apakah kau masih ingat malam takdir saat kita menyeberangi Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
Aku bisa melihatnya di matamu
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
Betapa bangganya kau berjuang untuk kebebasan di tanah ini
There was something in the air that night
Ada sesuatu di udara malam itu
The stars were bright, Fernando
Bintang-bintang bersinar terang, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
Mereka bersinar untukmu dan aku
Untuk kebebasan, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
Meski kita tak pernah pikir bisa kalah
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
Jika harus melakukannya lagi, aku akan, temanku, Fernando
There was something in the air that night
Ada sesuatu di udara malam itu
The stars were bright, Fernando
Bintang-bintang bersinar terang, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
Mereka bersinar untukmu dan aku
Untuk kebebasan, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
Meski kita tak pernah pikir bisa kalah
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
Jika harus melakukannya lagi, aku akan, temanku, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
Ya, jika harus melakukannya lagi, aku akan, temanku, Fernando
If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando
Jika harus melakukannya lagi, aku akan, temanku, Fernando
