The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
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
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

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Raise your beer, drink to the freedom, drink and come party, Hell is in this bar.
If you've lost your way, listen to me, reaching the finish line isn't winning, what matters is the path and in it to fall, get up, insist and learn.
If you've lost a kiss in a good-bye, or you run from a destiny that denied the opportunity to be happy, come with us, we're here for you.
In this inn the dead tell their lives and laugh at those who, being alive, wish to be dead. There's no drinking on the other side!
Raise your beer, drink to the freedom, drink and come party, and get Death drunk. Raise your beer, drink to the freedom, and may Heaven wait for you because Hell is in this bar.
If the night is so dark that not even your hands you're able to see, be sure the sun will rise, and meanwhile I invite you to my pub.
In my tavern the dead at the sunrise leave to infringe harsh punishments and dark torments, upon those who don't want nor let live.
Raise your beer, drink to the freedom, drink and come party, and get Death drunk. Raise your beer, drink to the freedom, and may Heaven wait for you because Hell is in this bar.
Raise your beer, come and drink for living. Let's drink a toast, this night is for you.
Raise your beer, drink to the freedom, drink and come party, and get Death drunk. Raise your beer, drink to the freedom, and may Heaven wait for you because Hell is in this bar.
Come to the bar, Motherfuckers!!!
