A Media Luz

In Dim Light

A Media Luz

Three four eight CurrentsCorrientes tres cuatro ocho
Second floor elevatorSegundo piso ascensor
No doormen or neighborsNo hay porteros ni vecinos
Inside cocktails and loveAdentro cocktail y amor

A little place with a maple touchPisito que puso mapple
Piano, mat, and lampPiano, estera y velador
A phone that answersUn telefón que contesta
A record player that criesUna vitrola que llora

Old tangos of my flowerViejos tangos de mi flor
And a porcelain catY un gato de porcelana
So love won't meowPa' que no maúlle el amor

And everything in dim lightY todo a media luz
How magical love isQue brujo es el amor
In dim light the kissesA media luz los besos
In dim light, just usA media luz los dos
And everything in dim lightY todo a media luz
Inner twilightCrepusculo interior
So soft velvetQue suave terciopelo
The dim light of loveLa media luz de amor

Juncal, twelve, twenty-fourJuncal, doce, veinticuatro
Call without fearTelefoneá sin temor
In the afternoon, tea with snacksDe tarde, té con masitas
At night tango and champagneDe noche tango y champán

On Sundays, tea danceLos domingos, té danzante
On Mondays, desolationLos lunes desolación
There's everything in the little houseHay de todo en la casita
Cushions and sofasAlmohadones y divanes

Like in a pharmacy, cocóComo en botica, cocó
Carpets that make no noiseAlfombras que no hacen ruido
And a table set for loveY mesa puesta al amor

And everything in dim lightY todo a media luz
How magical love isQue brujo es el amor
In dim light the kissesA media luz los besos
In dim light, just usA media luz los dos
And everything in dim lightY todo a media luz
Inner twilightCrepusculo interior
So soft velvetQue suave terciopelo
The dim light of loveLa media luz de amor
