Can you hear the drums Fernando
Bisakah kamu dengar bunyi genderang itu, Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
Teringatku waktu dulu di dikala malam berbintang ibarat ini
In the firelight Fernando
Di terangi cahaya perapian, Fernando
You were humming to yourself
Kau bersenandung sendiri
And softly strumming your guitar
Dan dengan lembut menggenjreng gitarmu
I could hear the distant drums
Bisa kudengar bunyi genderang di kejauhan
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
Dan bunyi panggilan terompet terdengar lamat laun
They were closer now Fernando
Semua itu mendekat, Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
Tiap jam tiap menit serasa usang sekali
I was so afraid Fernando
Aku sangat takut, Fernando
We were young and full of life
Kita masih muda dan bergairah
And none of us prepared to die
Dan kita berdua tak siap mati
And I'm not ashamed to say
Dan saya tak aib tuk akui
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
Gemuruh senapan dan meriam itu hampir membuatku menangis
CHORUS
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
Bintang-bintang itu bersinar untukmu dan untukku
For liberty, Fernando
Untuk kebebasan, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
Meski tak terpikir kita dapat kalah
There's no regret
Tak ada penyesalan
If I had to do the same again
Andai saja dapat kulakukan hal yang sama lagi
I would my friend, Fernando
Aku mau temanku, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
Andai saja dapat kulakukan hal yang sama lagi
I would my friend, Fernando
Aku mau temanku, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
Kini kita renta dan beruban, Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a r*fle in your hand
Dan sudah semenjak usang tak kulihat senapan di tanganmu
Can you hear the drums Fernando
Bisakah kamu dengar bunyi genderang itu, Fernando?
Do you still recall the fateful night
Masihkah kamu ingat malam yang memilih itu?
We crossed the Rio Grande
Kita seberangi sungai Rio GrandeI can see it in your eyes
Bisa kulihat di matamu
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
Betapa bangganya dirimu berjuang demi kemerdekaan di daerah ini
CHORUS
Yes, if I had to do the same again
Ya, andai saja dapat kulakukan hal yang sama lagi
I would my friend, Fernando
Aku mau temanku, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
Andai saja dapat kulakukan hal yang sama lagi
I would my friend, Fernando
Aku mau temanku, Fernando
Bisakah kamu dengar bunyi genderang itu, Fernando?
