Julio Iglesias - At half light

Corrientes three-four-eight,
second floor, elevator
There are no doormen nor neighbors.
Inside, cocktail and love.
Loft furnished by Maple:
piano, rug and nightlamp,
a telephone that answers,
a fonograph that cries
old tangos of my flower
and a porcelain cat
that can't mew the love.
And everything at half light
that love is a sorcerer...
At half light the kisses...
At half light the two of us...
And all at half light...
interior twilight...
What a soft velvet
the half light of love!


~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Juncal twelve twentyfour
Call without fear.
On afternoons, tea with pastries;
at night, tango and singing.
On Sundays, tea dancing;
on Mondays, emptiness...
There is everything in the little house:
pillows and sofas;
like in a drugstore, coke;
carpets muffling the sound
and a table set for love.

Transalated by Alberto Paz
