[English]

When you pass by my side

And I see you smile

Ignorance smiles

You can't understand

What your eyes see is that

Blinded by your mind

They can't tell the difference

Between what's right and wrong

You think you know

But when the sun goes down

There will be a concert

And my people will gather there

When the sun goes down

All pure souls

Will hear metal chords

The newspaper didn't mention

The band that played yesterday

Heavy metal doesn't matter

Nothing on television

That's their intention, to believe

That we no longer exist

They can no longer accuse us

Of drugs and so on

They know it well

But when the sun goes down

There will be a concert

And my people will gather there

When the sun goes down

All pure souls

Will hear metal chords

Every concert

Every song

Makes me feel

Like I win today

Every dive bar

Every performance

Makes me feel

Like I win

And when the sun goes down, it will be heard

But when the sun goes down

There will be a concert

And my people will gather there

When the sun goes down

All pure souls

Will hear metal chords

Every concert

Every song

Makes me feel

Like I win today

Every dive bar

Every performance

Makes me feel

Like I win

When metalheads

Raise their voices

Makes me feel

Like I win today

Even if this

Song ends

I know very well

That I win today

Ooh ooh ooh

[Spanish]

Cuando pasas a mi lado

Y te veo sonreír

Sonríe la ignorancia

No puedes comprender

Lo que tus ojos ven y es que

Ciegos por tu mente

No saben diferenciar

Que esta bien y que esta mal

Crees saber

Pero al ponerse el sol

Habrá algún concierto

Y mi gente allí se reunirá

Al ponerse el sol

Todas las almas puras

Oirán acordes de metal

El periódico no habló

Del grupo que tocó ayer

El heavy no interesa

Nada en la televisión

Esa es su intención creer

Que ya no existimos

Ya no nos pueden acusar

De las drogas y demás

Lo saben bien

Pero al ponerse el sol

Habrá algún concierto

Y mi gente allí se reunirá

Al ponerse el sol

Todas las almas puras

Oirán acordes de metal

Cada concierto

Cada canción

Me hacen sentir

Que hoy gano yo

Cada bareto

Cada actuación

Me hacen sentir

Que hoy gano

Y al ponerse el sol se escuchará

Pero al ponerse el sol

Habrá algún concierto

Y mi gente allí se reunirá

Al ponerse el sol

Todas las almas puras

Oirán acordes de metal

Cada concierto

Cada canción

Me hacen sentir

Que hoy gano yo

Cada bareto

Cada actuación

Me hacen sentir

Que hoy gano

Cuando los heavies

Alzan su voz

Me hacen sentir

Que hoy gano yo

Aunque termine

Esta canción

Yo sé muy bien

Que hoy gano yo

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh
