Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Media Luz by Carlos Gardel from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Corrientes tres cuatro ocho, segundo piso, ascensor,
Corrientes three four eight, second floor, elevator,
No hay porteros ni vecinos, adentro cocktel de amor.
There are no doormen or neighbors, inside love cocktail.
Pisito que puso Maple, piano, estera y velador,
Pisito that put Maple, piano, mat and nightstand,
Un telefono que contesta, una fonola que llora,
A phone that answers, a phonola that cries,
Viejos tangos de mi flor y un gato de porcelana pa que No maulle el amor.
Old tangos of my flower and a porcelain cat pa that does not meow love.
Y todo a media luz, que es un brujo el amor,
And all in half light, which is a sorcerer love,
A media luz los besos, a media luz los dos.
Half-light kisses, half-light both.
Y todo a media luz, crepsculo interior,
And all in half light, inner treadle,
Que suave terciopelo la media luz de amor.
What soft velvet the half-light of love.
Juncal doce venticuatro, telefonea sin temor,
Juncal twelve twenty-four, telephones without fear,
De tarde te con masitas, de noche tango y amor,
In the afternoon you with masitas, at night tango and love,
Los domingos t danzante, los lunes desolacin.
On Sundays t dancing, on Mondays desolacin.
Hay de todo en la casita, almohadones y divanes como en botica,
There is everything in the house, cushions and divans as in apothecary,
Coco, alfombras que no hacen ruido y mesa puesta al amor...
Coconut, carpets that do not make noise and table set to love ..
