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.
