Poco Antes De Que Den Las Diez

You will get up slowly shortly before ten o'clock and you will smooth your hair that I unraveled with my fingers, and you will button up your skirt, and you will caress my back like a 'Goodnight', and you will leave without a reproach, I will lose you with the night that calls at my window, and you will descend the steps two by two, three by three. They want you home shortly before ten o'clock. Go. It's getting late. Go now...
Go now. And on the threshold of my door shortly before ten o'clock, you will erase the last trace that I forgot on your face. And you will turn your head and say 'Goodbye' to me sadly from the corner and then you will run away, the night will envelop you in its dark mist. Your mother will open the door, smile, and you will kiss. The girl sleeps at home... and on a clock, it will strike ten.
