[English]

Let's go partying

we're gonna get it started

we're gonna cure loneliness

Drink your failures

kill them with Rock

your fears will drown

We'll drink nonstop

dance and in the end, there will be no God

standing tall

To the rhythm of rock'n'roll

We'll get you dancing

to heartbreak with betrayal

Come, get up once and for all

and drink until dawn

your soul is thirsty today

Come, if the cold enters your skin

cover yourself with a love

bathed in vodka'n'roll

If you're feeling alone

if you're feeling down

the moon is the bartender in my bar

stars are strippers and gogos

I never let the Sun come in

We'll drink nonstop

spend the champagne

and then make love

Listening through the song

your lovely breathing

then comes the rock'n'roll

Come, get up once and for all

and drink until dawn

your soul is thirsty

Come, if the cold enters your skin

cover yourself with a love

bathed in vodka'n'roll

The doctor of nostalgia

prescribed me as a party freak

for the soul's flu

vodka, friends, and rock'n'roll

Come, get up once and for all

and drink until dawn

your soul is thirsty

Come, if the cold enters your skin

cover yourself with a love

bathed in vodka'n'roll

...

[Spanish]

Vámonos de fiesta

la vamos a liar

vamos a curar la soledad.

Bebe tus fracasos

mátalos con Rock

tus miedos se ahogarán.

Beberemos sin parar

bailaremos y al final no habrá Dios

que se mantenga en pie.

A ritmo de rock'n'rol

sacaremos a bailar

a las penas con una traición.

Ven, levanta de una vez

y bebe hasta el amanecer

tu alma hoy tiene sed.

Ven, si el frio entra en tu piel

abrígate con un amor

bañado en vodkaroll.

Si te encuentras sola

si te encuentras mal

la luna es camarera de mi bar

las estrellas son strippers y gogos

al Sol nunca dejo entrar.

Beberemos sin parar

gastaremos el champagne

y después haremos el amor.

Escuchando por canción

tu linda respiración

despues sigue el rock'n'roll.

Ven, levanta de una vez

y bebe hasta el amanecer

tu almas tiene sed.

Ven, si el frío entra en tu piel

abrígate con un amor

bañado en vodka'n'roll.

El doctor de la nostalgia

por fiestero me recetó

para la gripe del alma

vodka, amigos y rock'n'roll.

Ven, levanta de una vez

y bebe hasta el amanecer

tu almas tiene sed.

Ven, si el frio entra en tu piel

abrígate con un amor

bañado en vodka'n'roll.
