A Media Luz

In Dim Light

A Media Luz

Three four eight Currents,Corrientes tres cuatro ocho,
second floor, elevator;segundo piso, ascensor;
no doormen or neighborsno hay porteros ni vecinos
inside, cocktails and love.adentro, cocktel y amor.
A little place set by Maple,Pisito que puso Maple,
piano, mat, and lamp...piano, estera y velador...
a phone that answers,un telefon que contesta,
a jukebox that criesuna fonola que llora
old tangos of my flower,viejos tangos de mi flor,
and a porcelain caty un gato de porcelana
so it won't meow at love.pa que no maulle al amor.

And everything in dim light,Y todo a media luz,
for love is a sorcerer,que es un brujo el amor,
in dim light the kisses,a media luz los besos,
in dim light the two...a media luz los dos...
And everything in dim light,Y todo a media luz,
inner twilight,crepusculo interior,
what soft velvetque suave terciopelo
is the dim light of love.la media luz de amor.

Juncal twelve twenty-four,Juncal doce veinticuatro,
don't hesitate to call;telefonea sin temor;
in the afternoon, you with snacks,de tarde, te con masitas,
at night, tango and love;de noche, tango y amor;
on Sundays, you dance,los domingos, te danzante,
on Mondays, desolation.los lunes, desolacion.
There's everything in the little house:Hay de todo en la casita:
pillows and couchesalmohadones y divanes
like in a pharmacy... coconut,como en botica... coco,
rugs that make no noisealfombras que no hacen ruido
and a table set for love...y mesa puesta al amor...
