Parece ser que no se sabe muy bien
dónde nació el genovés
Lo del huevo se inventó después
Salir, salió de la tierra de Moguer

Tenía como misión
Atajar pa´ir a buscar el té
Tres eran, tres carabelas a través
Cruzar el mar y después

Componer la historia del revés
Algo fue mal al ir a calcular lo grande que era el mar
Y la India no apareció,
y la desesperación hizo temblar la tripulación

¡Cuánto dolor y cuanta decepción habría en tu corazón!
Cuando, de pronto: ¡Tierra a babor!
Entre Asia y el Peñón un Nuevo Mundo se descubrió
-En nombre de don Fernando, doña Isabel, aquí ponemos los pies...

Pa´ la barca con el oro,
Tres eran,
tres carabelas a través
Cruzar el mar y después:

Nos volvemos a casa otra vez
Algo fue mal al ir a calcular
lo grande que era el mar
Y la India no apareció, y la desesperación hizo temblar la tripulación

¡Cuánto dolor y cuanta decepción habría en tu corazón!
Cuando, de pronto: ¡Tierra a babor!
Entre Asia y el Peñón
un Nuevo Mundo se descubrió
¡Tierra a babor!

Entre Asia y el Peñón
un Nuevo Mundo se descubrió
Tres eran,
Tres carabelas a través.

Waterloo

My my
At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo

My my
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh yeah
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo knowing my fate is to be with you
Oh, oh Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo
Waterloo knowing my fate is to be with you
Oh, oh Waterloo finally facing my Waterloo
Waterloo knowing my fate is to be with you 

Fernando

Can you hear the drums Fernando
I remember long ago another starry night 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 young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm 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 I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
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 I never thought that we could lose
There's 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
There's 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
