The slumber
Alberto Nepomuceno
If at night, close to my bed,
You casually come, my love
You will suddenly see the smiley appearance
My dream will have, if you come to breathe it
The angel which governs calmly the slumber
Doesn't give his place for the angel of Earth
But, let him lovely come to my bed
Join to my breast, and sigh for love.
The notes exhaled by the heavenly harps
The bliss that the angels can only usufruct
Maybe it works if very close to my breast
I can find you, o darling, in my awakening moment.
