Deeply Sleeping
Chorus
I'm deeply sleeping
while she's breathing;
two breaths mixing,
two hearts beating.
Verse I
The wintry night totally dark and cold
embraces us, it can never make us shiver;
we keep warm and feel behind delighted
each heartbeat measures a minimal fear.
Verse II
The many secrets of past loves remain inside,
we've buried all evidence, too afraid to reveal any
of them that won't pose a threat if laid aside;
it'd be better to hide them than expose infidelity.
Verse III
We are fully conscious and explore
the new dreams of the imagination;
husband and wife exhausted of desire,
long hours of pleasure were gratification.
Verse IV
No morning appears to be brighter or prettier than ours;
has the heavy guilt disappeared through vanished shadows?
Have we stared into each other's eyes and truly confessed
what we hide in the depth of conscience that makes us blind?
