A Night Without Stars
I am in a state of deep sleepiness
I am looking at the sky star-less
On this night of gentleness,
Remedy for the work tiredness
I am dreaming of my beloved star
Which watches over me, in particular
In a full attention, without any tension.
But, so sweet and so protective,
She teaches me, as a great educative
The golden rules of life
As for starting a party
As for continuing a time playing
Cards playing? But, what am I saying?
Lie playing, advice from our fathers
Experience and advice from our mothers
I am in a state of advanced alert
And, in the innocence of the night
I, eventually, can glimpse
A magnificent and starry sky.
