A media luz
Monica Lander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No hay porteros ni vecinos, adentro cocktel de amor.
Pisito que puso Maple, piano, estera y velador,
Un telefono que contesta, una fonola que llora,
Viejos tangos de mi flor y un gato de porcelana pa que No maulle el amor.
Y todo a media luz, que es un brujo el amor,
Y todo a media luz, crepsculo interior,
Que suave terciopelo la media luz de amor.
Juncal doce venticuatro, telefonea sin temor,
De tarde te con masitas, de noche tango y amor,
Los domingos t danzante, los lunes desolacin.
Hay de todo en la casita, almohadones y divanes como en botica,
Coco, alfombras que no hacen ruido y mesa puesta al amor...
