Fernando

Can you hear the drums fernando?

I remember long ago another starry night like this

In the fire light 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 young and full of life and none of us prepared to die

And Im 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, fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For liberty, fernando

Though we never thought that we could lose

Theres no regret

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, fernando
Now we're old and grey fernando

And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand

Can you hear the drums fernando?

Do you still recall the frightful 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, fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For liberty, fernando

Though we 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 night

The stars were bright, fernando

They were shining there for you and me

For liberty, 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...

Chiquitita (為西班牙文，是"小女孩的意思") 這曲是嚮應聯合國兒童救難基金會（UNICEF)而創作的，並於1979年1月捐出了這首歌的版稅所得予基金會，曲中撫慰了不少第三世界落後國家的小孩心靈。

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know

How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did beforeSing a new song, Chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
