Can you hear the drums Fernando?

I remember long ago another starry game 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 out of form and without life and none of us prepared to walk alone

And Im not ashamed to say

The roar of Rooney, Berbatov and Owen almost made me cry

There was something in the air that game

The stars were bright, Fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For Liverpool, fernando

Though I never thought that we could lose

Theres no regret

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, Fernando

Now were old and grey Fernando

And since many years I havent seen a rifle in your hand

Can you hear the drums Fernando?

Do you still recall the frightful game, we crossed up the United CB, Rio Ferdinand?

I can see it in your eyes

How proud you were to fight for Rafa in this land

There was something in the air that game

The stars were bright, Fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For Liverpool, Fernando

Though I never thought that we could lose

Theres no regret

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, Fernando

There was something in the air that game

The stars were bright, Fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For Liverpool, Fernando

Though I never thought that we could lose

Theres 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…
