Some nights don't need much... just good company and something to drink.

There's nothing like going out with friends…
sitting and drinking while the night unfolds in conversation.

We talk about things we almost never discuss,
as if the noise of the world were left outside for a while.
Between cards and laughter, we let the randomness of life
float in the bubbling depths of the beer…
and the only certainty we have left
is that, at some point,
the cigarette will go out.

I guess that's why we keep coming back… not for the beer, but for what we let slip between rounds.

Spanish:

Hay noches que no necesitan mucho…
solo buena compañía y algo que beber.

No hay nada como salir con unos amigos…
sentarse a beber mientras la noche se va soltando entre palabras.
Hablamos de cosas que casi nunca tocamos,
como si el ruido del mundo se quedara afuera por un rato.
Entre cartas y risas, dejamos el azar de la vida
flotando en el fondo burbujeante de la cerveza…
y la única certeza que nos queda
es que, en algún momento,
el cigarro se apagará.

Supongo que por eso volvemos…
no por la cerveza,
sino por lo que dejamos escapar entre cada ronda.
