¿Puedes escuchar, Fernando?
Can you hear, Fernando?
Me recuerda tiempo atrás
It reminds me of times gone by
Estrellas y una noche allá
Stars and a night over there
En la lumbre azul, Fernando
In the blue fire, Fernando
Tarareabas tu canción
You hummed your song
Con ese suave guitarrear
With that gentle guitar play
Yo podía escuchar
I could hear
Esos tambores con un sordo redoblar
Those drums with a muffled beat
Se acercaban más, Fernando
They were getting closer, Fernando
Y el momento que pasaba
And the passing moment
Parecía eternidad
Seemed like eternity
Y sentí temor, Fernando
And I felt fear, Fernando
Por la vida y juventud
For life and youth
Nadie pensaba en morir
No one thought about dying
Y no siento hoy vergüenza al
And I don't feel ashamed today
Confesar que tuve

Ganas de llorar

De claridad, Fernando

Que brillaba por nosotros dos

En protección, Fernando

No pensabamos jamás perder

Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

Lo haría ya, Fernando
I would do it, Fernando
Si tuviera que volverlo a hacer

Lo haría ya, Fernando

La vejez llegó, Fernando

Y con ella una paz
And with it, a peace
Que hoy logramos disfrutar

Did the drum fall asleep, Fernando?
Pareciera que fue ayer

Aquel orgullo que refleja tu valor
