[English]

Raise your beer

Toast to freedom

Drink and come to the party

Hell is this bar

...

If you've lost your way, listen to me

Reaching the goal is not winning

What matters is the journey and in it

Fall, get up, insist, learn

If you've lost a kiss in a goodbye

Or you flee from a destiny that denied you

The chance to be happy

Come with us, we are here

In this inn of the dead

They tell their life and laugh at those

Who, being alive, wish to be dead

In the afterlife, they never serve drinks

Raise your beer

Toast to freedom

Drink and come to the party

And get death drunk

Raise your beer

Toast to freedom

And may heaven wait for you

For hell is this bar

...

If the night is so dark that

You can't even see your own hands

Be sure that dawn will come

And, in the meantime, I invite you to my bar

In my tavern of the dead

When dawn breaks, harsh punishments will be inflicted

Severe penalties and dark torments

On those who neither want nor let others live

Raise your beer

Toast to freedom

Drink and come to the party

And get death drunk

Raise your beer

Toast to freedom

And may heaven wait for you

For hell is this bar

...

Raise your beer

Drink and toast to living

Let's join our glasses

This night is for you

Raise your beer

Toast to freedom

Drink and come to the party

And get death drunk

Raise your beer

Toast to freedom

And may heaven wait for you

For hell is this bar

...

Come to the bar, bastards!

...

[Spanish]

Alza tu cerveza

Brinda por la libertad

Bebe y vente de fiesta

El infierno es este bar

Si has perdido el rumbo, escúchame

Llegar a la meta no es vencer

Lo importante es el camino y en él

Caer, levantarse, insistir, aprender

Si has perdido un beso en un adiós

O huyes de un destino que te negó

La oportunidad de ser feliz

Ven con nosotros, estamos aquí

En esta posada de los muertos

Cuentan su vida y se ríen de quien

Estando vivo desea estar muerto

En el más allá nunca dan de beber

Alza tu cerveza

Brinda por la libertad

Bebe y vente de fiesta

Y a la muerte emborráchala

Alza tu cerveza

Brinda por la libertad

Y que el cielo te espere

Pues el infierno es este bar

Si la noche es tan oscura que

Ni tus propias manos consigues ver

Ten seguro que amanecerá

Y, mientras tanto, te invito a mi bar

En mi taberna de los muertos

Cuando amanece se van a infringir

Duros castigos y oscuros tormentos

A los que ni quieren ni dejan vivir

Alza tu cerveza

Brinda por la libertad

Bebe y vente de fiesta

Y a la muerte emborráchala

Alza tu cerveza

Brinda por la libertad

Y que el cielo te espere

Pues el infierno es este bar

Alza tu cerveza

Bebe y brinda por vivir

Juntemos nuestras copas

Esta noche es para ti

Alza tu cerveza

Brinda por la libertad

Bebe y vente de fiesta

Y a la muerte emborráchala

Alza tu cerveza

Brinda por la libertad

Y que el cielo te espere

Pues el infierno es este bar

¡Veniros al bar, cabrones!
