[Anni-Frid:]
Can you hear the drums drums, Fernando?
I remember long ago another ago,
Another starry night like this this.
In the firelight Fernando firelight, Fernando,
You were humming to yourself and yourself,
Andsoftly strumming your guitar guitar.
I could hear the distant drums drums,
And sounds of bugle calls were calls,
Were coming from afar afar.

[Anni-Frid & Agnetha:]
They were closer now Fernando close now, Fernando.
Every hour every minute seemed minute,
Seemed to last eternally eternally.
I was so afraid Fernando afraid, Fernando.
We were young and full of life and life,
Andnone of us prepared to die die.
And I'm not ashamed to say say,
The roar of guns and cannons almost cannons,
Almost made me cry cry.

[All:]
There was something in the air that night night.
The stars were bright, Fernando Fernando.
They were shining there for you and me me,
For liberty, Fernando Fernando.
Though I we never thought that we could lose lose,
There's no regret regret.
If I had to do the same again again,
I would, my friend, Fernando Fernando.
If I had to do the same again,
I would, my friend, Fernando.

[Short instrumental break.]

[Anni-Frid (overdubbing herself):]
Now we're old and grey Fernando grey, Fernando.
And sinceSince many years I haven't seen,
seen aA rifle in your hand hand.
Can you hear the drums drums, Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night night,
weWe crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes eyes,
How proud you were to fight for fight,
For freedom in this land land.

[All:]
There was something in the air that night.
