Lyrics

Español

Corrientes 3, 4, 8, segundo piso, ascensor. No hay porteros ni vecinos. Adentro, cocktail y amor. Pisito que puso Maple: piano, estera y velador, un telefón que contesta, una victrola 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 crepúsculo interior. ¡Qué suave terciopelo la media luz de amor! Juncal 12, 24 Telefoneá sin temor. De tarde, té con masitas; de noche, tango y cantar. Los domingos, tés danzantes; los lunes, desolación, Hay de todo en la casita: almohadones y divanes; come en botica, cocó; alfombras que no hacen ruido y mesa puesta al amor.

Corrientes 3, 4, 8, second floor, elevator. No doormen or neighbors. Inside, cocktail and love. Maple put on the floor: piano, mat and bedside table, a telephone that answers, a Victrola that cries old tangos of my flower and a porcelain cat so it won't meow at love. And all in half light, that love is a sorcerer, in the half light the kisses, half-light the two. And all in the half light inner twilight. What a soft velvet the half-light of love! Juncal 12, 24 Telephone without fear. In the afternoon, tea and biscuits; at night, tango and singing. On Sundays, dancing teas; Mondays, desolation, There is everything in the little house: cushions and divans; eat at the apothecary, coconut; carpets that don't make noise and table set for love.
