                LATER TANGO
(Free translation  from Russian by the author  Yosef  Latman)


                Weary sun  on the setting with  the sea gently fared.               
                Music by E. Petersburgsky


O, that passionate tango! No equal has may be . . . -
Clear, bright are the movements. Gusty our steps.
Heart anxiously is beating. And… the breathing more rapid, -               
As... by the flying squirrels, hovering over abyss. -
In star sky looking  black they, -
                like fantastic it is...

We had merged together ... by the soul and body,
Everyday life  forgotten ... - only tango and we.
As in our  youth we are gentle  and not brave few ,
Only tighter the embrace ... - like You whispers me:               
                "Yours...". -
Each other we  in love both!

All words, friend, are superfluous: tango will say this better
About happiness lost and the  unfulfilled dreams...
Keep, pleas, our secret...
                And no one will know
About sorrow, hidden in our sad eyes...
This would be a grief show
         and for years a strong stress.
