Y Nos Dierón Las 10
La Hija Del Mariachi
And They Gave Us Ten O'Clock
It was in a seaside town
one night
after a concert
tu reigned behind
the bar of the only bar
we saw open
sing me a song
to my ear
and I'll make you a mixed drink
with one condition
that you leave open
the balcony of your cat eyes
crazy to know
the secrets
of your bedroom
that night I sang
at the piano of dawn
all my repertoire
the bar customers
one by one
they left
you came out and went to close
I said to 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 hostel
we kissed
at every lamppost
it was a seaside town
I wanted to sleep with you
and you didn't want to sleep alone
(Chorus:)
and they gave us ten o'clock
and eleven
twelve and one
and two
and three
and naked at dawn
the moon didn't show up
we said goodbye
hopefully
we'll see each other again
summer ended
autumn lasted
as long as winter took to arrive
to your town by chance
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
who could tell me about you
not a word
it seemed as if
destiny wanted to play me a cruel joke
there was no one behind
the bar
the next summer
and instead of your bar
I found
a branch of the Hispano-American bank
I avenged your memory
with stones
against the windows
I know I didn't dream it
because I was
while 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 was undressing you
(Chorus)(x2)
