Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fiesta Pagana by Mägo de Oz from Spanish to English.

When you wake up one day

And feel that you can't take it anymore

That, in the name of the one above

They're going to run your life

If you feel that fear sticks to your skin

For being a commoner and wanting justice

If you give up, brother, you'll never think for yourself

When they come to ask you

For tithes at month's end

And the Holy Inquisition

‘Invites’ you to confess

That's why, friend, raise your voice

Say that you never asked for an opinion

And if it's true that there's a God

Let him work from sun to sun

Stand up

Raise your fist and come

To the pagan party

At the bonfire there's drink

Of the same condition

It's neither the people nor a lord

They have the clergy

And we our sweat

If there's no bread for your folks

And you see the abbot so fat

If his virgin wears gold

Strip her

How are they going to silence

The goldfinch or the canary

If there's no prison or grave

For the libertarian song!

Stand up

Raise your fist and come

To the pagan party

At the bonfire there's drink

Of the same condition

It's neither the people nor a lord

They have the clergy

And we our sweat

Stand up

Raise your fist and come

To the pagan party

At the bonfire there's drink

Of the same condition

It's neither the people nor a lord

They have the clergy

And we our sweat

Stand up

Raise your fist and come

To the pagan party

At the bonfire there's drink

Of the same condition

It's neither the people nor a lord

They have the clergy

And we our sweat

M*therf*ckers!!!

SONG MEANING

Fiesta Pagana is a rousing medieval-folk metal anthem that invites ordinary people to swap fear for freedom, kneel-downs for dancing, and whispered prayers for joyous shouts. Mägo de Oz imagines a Spain where the Church and feudal lords squeeze the poor for tithes while dressing their statues in gold. Over flutes, fiddles, and pounding drums, the band calls on listeners to wake up, raise a clenched fist, and march to a rebellious party around a bonfire. The celebration is “pagan” not because it attacks faith itself but because it rejects the hypocritical power structures that hide behind religion.

In the lyrics, the singer speaks directly to anyone who feels exploited: tired workers, truth-seekers, and would-be revolutionaries. He urges them to claim their own voice and demands that even God should labor “from sun to sun” if He sides with the people. Instead of bending to the Inquisition, the song proclaims solidarity: they have the clergy, we have our sweat. By stripping the gilded Virgin and refusing to silence the songbird of liberty, Fiesta Pagana transforms resistance into a wild, liberating party where everyone is equal, loud, and unafraid.
