Nocturne [sov pa min arm] [English translation]

Sleep in my arms! Night hides

Under its wings your flaring cheek

Happy and warm soon you dream

Let me flee in dreams like the wave flees the wind

Captured again. Gasping. Fighting.

Will not. Will. And will be kissed again.

Slumber my friend! Night slips

Love guards you tenderly and silent

Sleep in my arms! The crescent of the moon

Lifted out of the groves' shadow

And to your bosom my love

Carves its reflection of the flight of the hours

Holy the free heart that lives

In the middle of whirling blood streams uproar!

Your battle has ended. The moon is lit

The wind of the spring night. Sleep in my arms.
