Inspired by Ashe's "After the Phone Call," and by hearing Buzz LightYear say, on "Toy Story 3," the wonderful phrase, "hasta esta noche"...


Esta noche


El mundo estaba desolado;
El mundo estaba a oscuras;
El mundo no era nada,
Hasta esta noche.

Mi vida no me importaba;
Mi corazón no me importaba;
Mi alma no me importaba,
Hasta esta noche.

Gracias, mi vida;
Gracias, mi alma;
Gracias, mi amor,
Por esta noche.




The world was desolate;
The world was dark;
The world was nothing,
Until this night.

My life meant nothing to me;
My heart meant nothing to me;
My soul meant nothing to me,
Until this night.

Thank you, my life;
Thank you, my soul;
Thank you, my love,
For this night.

Very romantic! Why does everything sound better to me in Spanish? I am flattered to have helped inspire you to write this lovely poem in flawless Spanish. "Hasta esta noche" is indeed a lovely phrase, so full of promise.
