El Cervezo
Mägo de Oz
The Beer
I offered you my youth
My innocence and my health
My girlfriend and my job to be able to have your light
I invited you to my wedding
In my divorce I adored you
And I know that in my baptism I was watered with your blood
I had trials, I had fights for your love
To keep you cold, I know you hate the heat
I pray to you, I have you on an altar
In can, bottle or barrel
Let's drink ourselves to the waves of the sea
Under the stars
Tonight there's a party, let's all pray
Oh, Beer, guide us!
Let's drink ourselves to the puddles of the bar
When there's no more beer
We're drunkards and this party will continue
Until the Sun stops sleeping
It's the beer tree
And its fruit must be prayed to
The patron saint of drunks, the patron saint of any bar
Alcohol will never solve a problem
But water won't either and no one says anything
Let them put lyrics to the national anthem
Love, joy, and cold beer
Let's drink ourselves to the waves of the sea
Under the stars
Tonight there's a party, let's all pray
Oh, Beer, guide us!
Let's drink ourselves to the puddles of the bar
When there's no more beer
We're drunkards and this party will continue
Until the Sun stops sleeping
I know that alcohol harms me
But I forgive it year after year
I read one day that drinking kills you
That's why I don't read anymore
I know that alcohol harms me
(Beer or Rum, one or two Whiskies)
But I forgive it year after year
(Tequila, Vodka, strong Wine) (beer)
I read one day that drinking kills you
(Anise Chinchón, from a baby bottle)
That's why I don't read anymore (cheap brandy)
Let's drink ourselves to the waves of the sea
Under the stars
Tonight there's a party, let's all pray
Oh, Beer, guide us!
Let's drink ourselves to the puddles of the bar
When there's no more beer
We're drunkards and this party will continue
Until the Sun stops sleeping
Oh, Beer, guide us!
