It was our night, Fernando
When the city dressed up
As if it were about to attend its last grand festival
It was our night, Fernando
When all the songs
Found their words again
When they suddenly rose from the streets
Like a choir that had been thought dead
It was a long night, Fernando
For it had a lot to tell us
Under the cover of darkness
One anxious night, Fernando
For it had to take a chance
And it had only time until the morning
And it made the waves crash
On the shores of indifference
And we had the sky within our reach
When it happened, Fernando
It had a time of rainbows
In store for us, Fernando
It witnessed from a close distance
What happened there
For it was only that one night
That we had it within our reach
For it was only that one night
That we had it within our reach
It's been a long time, Fernando
Since our hearts were set on fire
By one nonchalant word
It was a little more, Fernando
Than just an attempt at showing
Where keeping quiet would take us
It was like all the world was dancing
To this song, unseen
Forming an ensemble bigger than one could imagine1
And we had the sky within our reach
When it happened, Fernando
It had a time of rainbows
In store for us, Fernando
It witnessed from a close distance
What happened there
For it was only that one night
That we had it within our reach
For it was only that one night
That we had it within our reach
For it was only that one night
That we had it
That one night, Fernando
