Y Nos Dieron Las Diez
Juanes
And They Gave Us Ten
It was in a seaside town, one night
After a concert
You ruled behind
The bar of the only pub we saw open
Sing me a song in my ear
And I’ll get you a drink
With one condition
That you keep the balcony of your cat-like eyes open for me
Crazy to know
The secrets of your bedroom
That night I sang
At the piano of dawn all my repertoire
The bar patrons, one by one
Started leaving
You went out to close
I told myself: Watch out, dude, you’re falling for her
Then everything happened
Suddenly, your finger on my back
Drew a heart
And my hand responded beneath your skirt
On the way to the hostel
We kissed at every streetlight
It was a seaside town
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
I hope we meet again
Summer ended
Autumn lasted as long as it takes for winter to arrive
I went to your town by chance
The next summer
I went looking for you
After the concert, I searched for your face in the crowd
And I couldn’t find anyone to tell me
Even a word
It seemed like
Fate wanted to play a cruel joke on me
There was no one behind the bar
From the other summer
And instead of your pub
I found a branch of the Hispano Americano Bank
I avenged your memory
By throwing stones at the windows
I know I didn’t dream it
I protested while the cops handcuffed me
And in my statement, I claimed
That I had three drinks
And I started this song
In the room where that time I took your clothes off
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
