PROFILE





There'll never be another
never, ever another one...
No one with your skin
and with your voice.

Your skin...
magnolia soaked in moon mist.
Your voice...
a murmur warmed by love.

There'll never be another one
they all died
at the moment when you said
goodbye...

(Fragment from the tango "Ninguna"
written by H. Manzi and Fernández Siro)
English translation by O. Martinez
