Te Debo Una Canción

When I steal kisses from you at the time of departure,
when I lie and tell you I'll be back tonight.
When the moon sneaks into your bedtime book,
the same one that keeps me awake and keeps repeating to me:
I owe you a song
When I remember everyone, when I feel happy,
when I give away songs, none for you.
When the night falls asleep with the noise of a car,
when dawn peeks out and tells us it's late.
And in winter evenings, and in sunless days,
and in dream hours, I owe you a song.
For the stolen nights, for a treacherous kiss,
because you don't ask me for it, for no reason.
I owe you a song.
