The song Y Nos Dieron Las Diez by Julio Iglesias is a romantic ballad that tells the story of a chance encounter between two people in a small seaside town. The narrator is a musician who meets a woman who works behind the bar at the only open establishment in the town after a concert. They strike up a conversation, and the woman asks him to sing her a song. The narrator agrees but asks that she leaves the balcony of her "cat-like" eyes open. As the night goes on, they both reveal their secrets and passions, and the narrator sings all of his songs to her. As the patrons of the bar leave, the two are left alone. They share a moment where they both realize they are falling in love with one another. They leave the bar and wander the town, kissing under the street lamps. They spend the whole night together, and the moon finds them naked by dawn. The next day they say their goodbyes, hoping to see each other again. The narrator returns the following summer to find the same bar but a different person working there. He eventually discovers that the woman, with whom he fell in love, no longer worked there, and the bar had been replaced with a bank branch. Distraught and heartbroken, the narrator seeks comfort in alcohol and throws stones at the bank's windows. The police arrest him for causing a disturbance, and he protests that he did not imagine his love affair. He sings this song in his jail cell, reminiscing about his one night of passion with his mysterious lover. The song's title, "y nos dieron las diez," translates to "and the clock struck ten," referring to the moment when their night together began. The song explores the intense passion and desire two people can share, even if their time together is short-lived. It also portrays the heartbreak that follows when a love affair ends and how the memories of a past love can linger long after the fact.
