[English]

Yeah!

...

One day, when you wake up and feel you can't go on

That in the name of the One Above, they'll control your life

If you feel that fear clings to your skin

For being a rebel and wanting justice

If you give up, brother, you'll never think about yourself

...

When they come to ask for tithes at the end of the month

And the Holy Inquisition invites you to confess

That's why, my friend, raise your voice

Say you never asked for their opinion

If it’s true that there's a God, who works from dawn till dusk

Stand up, raise your fist, come on

To the pagan feast, there's drink around the fire

Neither the people nor the lord are in the same condition

They have the clergy, and we have our sweat

...

If there's no bread for your family and the abbot looks fat

If his Virgin is dressed in gold, strip her down!

How will they silence the lark or the canary?

If there's no jail or grave for the libertarian song

Stand up, raise your fist, come on

To the pagan feast, there's drink around the fire

Neither the people nor the lord are in the same condition

They have the clergy, and we have our sweat

...

Stand up, raise your fist, come on

To the pagan feast, there's drink around the fire

Neither the people nor the lord are in the same condition

They have the clergy, and we have our sweat

Stand up, raise your fist, come on

To the pagan feast, there's drink around the fire

Neither the people nor the lord are in the same condition

They have the clergy, and we have our sweat

Fucking bastards!

Ah, ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

...

[Spanish]

Yeah!

Cuando despiertes un día y sientas que no puedes más

Que en el nombre del de arriba tu vida van a manejar

Si sientes que el miedo se pega a tu piel

Por ser comunero y justicia querer

Si te rindes, hermano, por ti nunca pensarás

Cuando vayan a pedirte los diezmos a fin de mes

Y la Santa Inquisición te invite a confesar

Por eso, amigo, tú alza la voz

Di que nunca pediste opinión

Si es verdad que existe un Dios, que trabaje de sol a sol

Ponte en pie, alza el puño y ven

A la fiesta pagana, en la hoguera hay de beber

De la misma condición no es el pueblo ni un señor

Ellos tienen el clero y nosotros nuestro sudor

Si no hay pan para los tuyos y ves muy gordo al abad

Si su virgen viste de oro, ¡desnúdala!

¿Cómo van a silenciar al jilguero o al canario?

Si no hay cárcel ni tumba para el canto libertario

Ponte en pie, alza el puño y ven

A la fiesta pagana, en la hoguera hay de beber

De la misma condición no es el pueblo ni un señor

Ellos tienen el clero y nosotros nuestro sudor

Ponte en pie, alza el puño y ven

A la fiesta pagana, en la hoguera hay de beber

De la misma condición no es el pueblo ni un señor

Ellos tienen el clero y nosotros nuestro sudor

Ponte en pie, alza el puño y ven

A la fiesta pagana, en la hoguera hay de beber

De la misma condición no es el pueblo ni un señor

Ellos tienen el clero y nosotros nuestro sudor

¡Cabrones!

Ah, ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
