Noche de invierno
Es tarde en la noche de invierno.
Un libro me tiene atrapado
y olvidé irme a la cama.
Mi esposa agarra mi lámpara y dice,
"¿Sabés qué hora es?"
Winter night
It is late in the Winter night.
I am absorbed in a book
And forget to go to bed.
My wife takes my lamp and says,
"Do you know what time it is?"
