El día que se hizo tarde [English translation]

I waited for you each night

with the same crazy desire

of your arriving early,

of melting myself in your mouth.

And you came, and the night,

and the night and you came

to allow me to pour

illusions on your body.

But, one day, it got late,

I thought it was only that

because the night did come

and it didn't miss giving me a kiss.

One day, another day and another

showed me, without a doubt,

that the night is better than you ...

the night is more faithful than dark.

I rummage the memories around

turning and tumbling in bed,

and in one of so many turns,

I found myself at dawn.

In a jiffy I went to look for you

along the way you used to come,

and I saw you, damn it!

same as I saw you depart.

A breath of love I gave the wind

in case it made it come to you,

but even the very breeze

got tired of following.

One day, another day and another

showed me, without a doubt,

that the night is better than you...

the night is more faithful than dark.
