Y Nos Dieran Las Diez

It was in a seaside town
one night after a concert;
you ruled behind
the bar of the only bar we saw open
-'sing me a song
to my ear and I'll make you a drink'-
-'with one condition:
leave the balcony of your cat eyes open for me'-
crazy to know
the secrets of her bedroom
that night I sang
to the piano of dawn my whole repertoire.
the bar's customers
one by one left,
you came out to close,
I told myself:
'careful, kid, you're falling in love',
then everything happened
suddenly, her finger on my back
drew a heart
and my hand responded under 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...
and they gave us ten and eleven, twelve and one
and two and three
and naked at dawn 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
the following summer brought me
and at the end
of the concert I started looking for your face among the crowd,
and I couldn't find anyone
who would say a word about you to me,
it seemed as if
destiny wanted to play a cruel joke on me.
there was no one behind
the bar the next summer.
and instead of your bar
I found a branch of the Hispanic American bank,
I avenged your memory
by throwing stones at the windows,
-'I know I didn't dream it'-
I protested as the police handcuffed me,
in my statement
I claimed I had three drinks
and 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 dawn the moon found us.
