Poco antes de que den las diez [English translation]

You'll get up slowly

shortly before it strikes ten,

and you'll straighten your hair,

that I unraveled with my fingers…

And you'll fasten your skirt,

and you'll stroke my back

with a "see you tomorrow",

and you will leave with a reproach.

I will lose you with the night

that calls at my window…

And you will go down the steps

two by two, three by three.

They wants you home

shortly before it strikes ten.

Go away.

It's getting late, go away already.

Go away.

And, in the threshold of the door,

shortly before it strikes ten

you'll erase the last mark

that on your face I forgot…

And you'll look bad.

And you'll tell me with sadness

"goodbye", from the corner.

And later you'll leave running…

The night will go wrapping you

in its dark mist.

Your mother will open the door,

she will smile, and you will kiss.

The girl sleeps at home…

And on clock it will strike ten.
