[English]

I've been working all year

It feels longer than a winter night

I've been waiting a long time for this moment to arrive (let's go!)

Even in the announcement in the afternoon

The mayor told me everything is ready

We're going to do it big, because today there's a party in my town

And I'm going with my crew

María, Alberto, Manolo

The bottles are here

And that cooler that Cholo brought

I'm going with my crew

My golden shirt

We'll go to the fair later

Be careful not to get lost, or the bull will catch you (oh!)

Nacho's cousin told me Roberto has come

He's still with his vices (his vices?)

What joy to see Noelia who left Baliño (baldy)

I can't take any more of the barbecue

Pablo is already drunk with his dog face (shut your mouth)

We're going to make a big mess, because today there's a party in my town

And I'm going with my crew

María, Alberto, Manolo

The bottles are here

And that cooler that Cholo brought

I'm going with my crew

My golden shirt

We'll go to the fair later

Be careful not to get lost, or the bull will catch you

One, two, three and...!

I'm going with my crew

My golden shirt

We'll go to the fair later

Be careful not to get lost, or the bull will catch you

The night shines

It still has to give us many joys

For you, I would give everything, I already knew it

That nothing in the world would separate us

I'm going with my crew

María, Alberto, Manolo

The bottles are here

And that cooler that Cholo brought (it's coming!)

I'm going with my crew

My golden shirt

We'll go to the fair later

Be careful not to get lost, or the bull will catch you

One, two, three and...!

Up my crew!

Up my crew!

I'm staying with my crew

My golden shirt

We'll go to the fair later

Be careful not to get lost

Or the bull will catch you

...

[Spanish]

Llevo todo el año currando

Que se me ha hecho má' largo que una noche de invierno

Llevo mucho tiempo esperando que llegue este momento (¡vamo!)

Hasta en el pregón por la tarde

Que me ha dicho el alcalde que ya está todo puesto

Vamos a montarlo a lo grande, que hoy hay fiesta en mi pueblo

Y yo me voy con mi peña

María, Alberto, Manolo

Ya están aquí las botellas

Y aquella nevera que se trajo el Cholo

Que yo me voy con mi peña

Mi camiseta de oro

Ya iremos luego a la feria

Cuidao no te pierdas, que te pilla el toro (¡uy!)

Me ha dicho la prima de Nacho que ha venido Roberto

Que sigue con sus vicios (¿sus vicios?)

Qué alegría ver a Noelia que ha dejado a Baliño (calvito)

Ya no puedo más de churrasco

Pablo ya está borracho con su cara de perro (cállate la boca)

Vamos a liarla a lo grande, que hoy hay fiesta en mi pueblo

Y yo me voy con mi peña

María, Alberto, Manolo

Ya están aquí las botellas

Y aquella nevera que se trajo el Cholo

Que yo me voy con mi peña

Mi camiseta de oro

Ya iremos luego a la feria

Cuidao no te pierdas, que te pilla el toro

¡Un, dos, tres y...!

Que yo me voy con mi peña

Mi camiseta de oro

Ya iremos luego a la feria

Cuidao no te pierdas, que te pilla el toro

Que la noche brilla

Que aún tiene que darnos muchas alegrías

Por ti lo doy todo, yo ya lo sabía

Que nada en el mundo nos separaría

Que yo me voy con mi peña

María, Alberto, Manolo

Ya están aquí las botellas

Y aquella nevera que se trajo el Cholo (¡que viene!)

Que yo me voy con mi peña

Mi camiseta de oro

Ya iremos luego a la feria

Cuidao no te pierdas, que te pilla el toro

¡Un, dos, tres y...!

¡Arriba mi peña!

¡Arriba mi peña!

Que yo me quedo en mi peña

Mi camiseta de oro

Ya iremos luego a la feria

Cuidao no te pierdas

Que te pilla el toro
