Y Nos Dieron Las Diez
Marta Sango Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fue en un pueblo con mar
Una noche después de un concierto

Tú reinabas detrás de la barra
Del único bar que vimos abierto
Cántame una canción al oído
Y te pongo un cubata
Con una condición
Que me dejes abierto el balcón de tus ojos de gata
Loco por conocer
Los secretos de tu dormitorio
Esa noche canté
Al piano del amanecer todo mi repertorio

Los clientes del bar
Uno a uno se fueron marchando
Tú saliste a cerrar
Yo me dije "Cuidado, chaval, te estás enamorando"

Luego todo pasó
De repente, tu dedo en mi espalda
Dibujó un corazón
Y mi mano le correspondió debajo de tu falda

Caminito al hostal nos besamos en cada farola
Era un pueblo con mar
Yo quería dormir contigo y tú no querías dormir sola

Y nos dieron las diez y las once
Las doce y la una, y las dos y las tres

Y desnudos al anochecer nos encontró la luna
Y nos dieron las diez y las once




Las doce y la una y las dos y las tres
Y desnudos al anochecer nos encontró la luna

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marta Sango's song Y Nos Dieron Las Diez tell the story of a chance encounter between the singer and a bartender in a seaside town. After a concert, the singer and her friends stumble upon the only open bar in town where they meet the bartender. Intrigued by his charm and looks, the singer asks him to sing a song to her while she drinks a cubata. He agrees, but only if she agrees to leave the balcony of her cat-like eyes open. The two share a flirtatious moment while the singer plays the piano, and as the night wears on, the other customers leave, and the bartender and singer are left alone.


As they begin to realize their attraction to each other, the bartender draws a heart on the singer's back, and she reciprocates by touching him under his skirt. They eventually leave the bar and kiss under every streetlamp on their way to the hostel. The rest of the lyrics describe the two lovers undressing at night and being discovered by the moonlight. The chorus repeats each time the clock ticks forward, and the lovers spend the night together, intoxicated by their passion.


Overall, the song is a passionate and romantic story that depicts youthful lust and desire. The lyrics show the singer longing for intimacy and vulnerability with someone new, and the bartender is the embodiment of that for her. The sense of adventure and spontaneity in the song is infectious, and the listener can feel the energy and attraction between the two.
