manny I feel like a woman
-----------------------------
Can you hear the drums Fernandes?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernandes
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 Fernandes
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernandes
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, Fernandes
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernandes
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernandes
Now we're old and grey Fernandes
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernandes?
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, Fernandes
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernandes
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernandes
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernandes
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernandes
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernandes
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernandes...
