The Winner Takes It All

I don't want to talk about things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say; no more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence; building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool playing by the rules
The gods may throw the dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?
But tell me does she kiss like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same when she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you, but what can I say?
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend, a big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't want to talk if it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize if it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence, but the winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

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
Chorus:
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
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
Repeat Chorus and then fade out
