A media Luz

In Half Light

A media Luz

Corrientes three four eightCorrientes tres cuatro ocho
Second floor, elevatorSegundo piso, ascensor
No doormen or neighborsNo hay porteros ni vecinos
Inside cocktail and loveAdentro cocktail y amor

Little apartment that I put maplePisito que puse maple
Piano, mat and nightstandPiano, estera y velador
A telephone that answersUn telefón que contesta
A record player that criesUna vitrola que llora

Old tangos of my flowerViejos tangos de mi flor
A porcelain catUn gato de porcelana
So it doesn't meow to lovePa´que no maúlle al amor

And all in half light...Y todo a media luz...
How bewitching love isQue brujo es el amor
In half light the kissesA media luz los besos
In half light the twoA media luz los dos

And all in half lightY todo a media luz
Inner twilightCrepúsculo interior
Such soft velvetQue suave terciopelo
The half light of love.La media luz de amor.

Juncal twelve twenty-four,Juncal doce veinticuatro,
Call without fearTelefoneá sin temor
Afternoon tea with pastriesDe tarde té con masitas
At night tango and singing.De noche tango y cantar.

Sundays tea dancesLos domingos tes danzantes
Mondays desolationLos lunes desolación
There's everything in the little houseHay de todo en la casita
Cushions and divansAlmohadones y divanes
Like in a pharmacy cocoComo en botica cocó
Carpets that don't make noiseAlfombras que no hacen ruido
And table set for love.Y mesa puesta al amor.

And all in half light...Y todo a media luz...
How bewitching love isQue brujo es el amor
In half light the kissesA media luz los besos
In half light the twoA media luz los dos

And all in half light...,Y todo a media luz…,
Inner twilightCrepúsculo interior
Such soft velvetQue suave terciopelo
The half light of love.La media luz de amor.
