                      (Argentine Tango Melodies)

 

                                  

 

                                        When the lights are out,

                                        The floor is empty,

                                        And everybody is gone,

                                         I dance again, barefeet,

                                        With the memories, with the melodies,

                                        Of all the men I danced with.

 

                                        In the fire of the dance,

                                        In the of the maelstrom of the music,

                                        Our step sequences are

                                        Indelibly impressed on the floor,

                                        Tanda after tanda.

                                        Our souls

                                        Sharing a precious note,

                                        Our bodies a single tear.

 

                                        Barefeet, I now

                                        Contemplate our steps

                                        Evoking in cold lava

                                        My partners’ colored melodies.
