| Fue en un pueblo con mar

|
| De la barra del único bar que vimos abierto

|
| -«Cántame una canción

|
| Al oido y te pongo un cubata" —

|
| Al piano del amanecer todo mi repertorio

|
| Los clientes del bar

|
| Uno a uno se fueron marchando
| One by one they left
|
| Tú saliste a cerrar
| you went out to close
|
| Yo me dije:
| I said to myself:
|
| «Cuidado, chaval, te estas enamorando»
| "Watch out, kid, you're falling in love"
|
| Luego todo pasó
| then everything happened
|
| De repente, su dedo en mi espalda
| Suddenly, her finger from her on my back
|
| Dibujo un corazón
| I draw a heart
|
| Y mi mano le correspondió debajo de tu falda;
| And my hand corresponded to him under your skirt;
|
| Caminito al hostal
| Little walk to the hostel
|
| Nos besamos en cada farola
| We kiss at every streetlight
|
| Era un pueblo con mar
| It was a town with sea
|
| Yo quería dormir contigo y tú no querías dormir sola…
| I wanted to sleep with you and you didn't want to sleep alone...
|
| Y nos dieron las diez y las once, las doce y la una
| And they gave us ten and eleven, twelve and one
|
| Y las dos y las tres
| And two and three
|
| Y desnudos al amanecer nos encontró la luna

|
| Nos dijimos adios

|
| Ojalá que volvamos a vernos
| I hope we meet again

|
| Me llevó, y al final | It took me, and in the end |
| Del concierto me puse a buscar tu cara entre la gente

|
| Me encontré una sucursal del Banco Hispano Americano

| your memory avenged
|
| A pedradas contra los cristales

|
| En mi declaración

|
| En el cuarto donde aquella vez te quitaba la ropa

|
| Y desnudos al amanecer nos encontró la luna | And naked at dawn the moon found us |
