Lyrics and translation Edgardo Donato - A Media Luz

A Media Luz

Corrientes tres cuatro ocho,
Segundo piso, ascensor;
No hay porteros ni vecinos
Adentro, cocktel y amor.
Pisito que puso Maple,
Piano, estera y velador...
Un telefon que contesta,
Una fonola que llora
Viejos tangos de mi flor,
Y un gato de porcelana
Pa que no maulle al amor.

Y todo a media luz,
Que es un brujo el amor,
A media luz los besos,
A media luz los dos...
Y todo a media luz,
Crepusculo interior,
Que suave terciopelo
La media luz de amor.

Juncal doce veinticuatro,
Telefonea sin temor;
De tarde, te con masitas,
De noche, tango y amor;
Los domingos, te danzante,
Los lunes, desolacion.
Hay de todo en la casita:
Almohadones y divanes
Como en botica... coco,
Alfombras que no hacen ruido
Y mesa puesta al amor...

Under Dimmed Light

Corrientes three forty eight,
Second floor, elevator;
No doormen or neighbors
Inside, cocktails and love.
A small apartment that Maple furnished,
Piano, rug and bedside lamp...
A telephone that answers,
A phonograph that weeps,
Old tangos of my beloved,
And a porcelain cat
So that it doesn't meow when we make love.

And everything under dimmed light,
For love is a wizard,
Under dimmed light the kisses,
Under dimmed light the two of us...
And everything under dimmed light,
Interior twilight,
What soft velvet
The dimmed light of love.

Juncal twelve twenty four,
Call without fear;
In the afternoon, I'll have tea and pastries,
At night, tango and love;
Sundays, dancing,
Mondays, desolation.
There is everything in the little house:
Pillows and divans
Like in a pharmacy... cocoa,
Carpets that make no noise
And table set for love...
