She & Him - Baby, It's Cold Outside

De buena mañana despertó la razón y con la urgencia de las obsesiones se puso a conversar con el corazón sobre qué es lo que deberían hacer con aquella relación de la que tanto gozaba el corazón y que tanta incertidumbre provocaba en los fecundos miedos de la razón. El caso es que la charla se alargó durante varios días sin lograr alcanzar la armonía deseada en aquella relación apasionante, pero imposible, así que durante uno de aquellos interminables lapsos de tiempo que la razón se tomaba para escudriñar nuevas argumentaciones, el corazón se levantó delicadamente del sofá para preparar dos copas de vino frente al crepitar de la chimenea, se desabrochó perezosamente el vestido para dejarlo caer sobre el entarimado y finalizar así con un debate que solo existía en las más encrespadas pesadillas de la razón.

Baby, it's cold outside

I really can't stay

(Baby, it's cold outside)

I've got to go away

(Baby, it's cold outside)

The evening has been

(Been hoping that you'd drop in)

So very nice

(I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)

My mother will start to worry

(Beautiful, what's your hurry?)

My father will be pacing the floor

(Listen to the fireplace roar)

So really I'd better scurry

(Beautiful, please don't hurry)

Well, maybe just a half a drink more

(Put some music on while I pour)

The neighbors might think

(Baby, it's bad out there)

Say, what's in this drink?

(No cabs to be had out there)

I wish I knew how

(Your eyes are like starlight now)

To break the spell

(I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

I ought to say no, no, no, sir

(Mind if I move closer?)

At least I'm going to say that I tried

(What's the sense in hurting my pride?)

I really can't stay

(Baby, don't hold out)

Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to get home

(Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there)

Say, lend me your coat

(It's up to your knees out there)

You've really been grand

(I thrill when you touch my hand)

But don't you see

(How can you do this thing to me?)

There's bound to be talk tomorrow

(Think of my life-long sorrow)

At least there will be plenty implied

(If you caught pneumonia and died)

I really can't stay

(Get over that hold out)

Ah, but it's cold outside

Baby, it's cold outside...
