English term or phrase: Have fun!
For private matters:-)

I need to create some "in" bandanas-head scarfs for my ski bar, opening next winter. Who knows a coloquial and young expression. Should be short and fresh. All languages needed: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Arabian, Chinese, Russian, etc.

Thanks a lot for any kind of hints!

Вообще исходное значение этого слова - находиться в наркотическом опьянении, получать удовоьствие от опьянения, нот это слово уже давно используется в другом смысле "наслаждаться жизнью".

Гуляй!


Explanation:
or, also,
Веселись!

I would not use "оттянись", "оторвись" simplyt because it is not appropriate (my opinion) for an establishment to use the expressions which came from "blatnoj zhargon" (блатной жаргон) - rogue/thieves slang/ People can use it - but not the hosting establishment, well, unless it is related :-))
