Y Nos Dieron Las Diez
Joaquín Sabina
And They Gave Us Ten O'Clock
It was in a town by the sea
One night, after a concert
You reigned behind the bar
Of the only bar we saw open
Sing me a song in my ear
And I'll make you a drink
With one condition: Let me keep open
The balcony of your cat eyes
Crazy to know
The secrets of your bedroom
That night I sang at the dawn piano
All my repertoire
The bar customers
One by one left
You went out to close, I told myself
Careful, kid, you're falling in love
Then everything happened, suddenly
Your finger on my back
Drew a heart
And my hand responded underneath your skirt
On the way to the inn, we kissed
At every lamppost
It was a town by the sea
I wanted to sleep with you and you didn't want to sleep alone
And they gave us ten and eleven
Twelve and one, and two and three
And naked at dusk
The Moon found us
We said goodbye
Hopefully we'll see each other again
Summer ended
Autumn lasted as long as winter took to arrive
And by chance to your town, again
The following summer
I went and at the end of the concert
I started looking for your face among the people
And I found no one to tell me about you
Not a word
It seemed as if
Destiny wanted to play a cruel joke on me
There was no one behind the bar
From the other summer
And instead of your bar
I found a branch of the Hispano-American Bank
I avenged your memory
Throwing stones at the windows
I know I didn't dream it
I protested as the municipal police handcuffed me
In my statement I claimed
I had three drinks
And I started this song
In the room where that time I undressed you
And they gave us ten and eleven
Twelve and one, and two and three
And naked at dusk
The Moon found us
And they gave us ten and eleven
Twelve and one, and two and three
And naked at dusk
The Moon found us
