En espanol:

Si usted roba un banco y ustedes son pantalones se caen, pienso que debe reírse bien y dejar a la risa de rehenes también, porque, venga en, la vida es graciosa.

Then translated back into English:

If you steal a bank and you are trousers they fall down, I think that he must laugh well and stop to the laugh of hostages also, because, it avenges in, the life is graceful.

Basic words can translate differently depending on the sentence. You try to translate a sentence as a whole, literally, and who knows what you might get.
