Raphaël

Four consonants and three vowels
It's the first name of Raphael
I whisper it in my ear
And each letter amazes me
It's the umlaut that bewitches me
In the first name of Raphael
How it mixes with a and e
How it intertwines them with l

Raphael looks like an angel
But he's a devil of love
From the tips of his hips
And his velvety gaze
When he leans
When he leans
My nights are sleepless
And forever
Hmm

I love the notes with a taste of honey
In the first name of Raphael
I whisper them when I wake up
Between the feathers of sleep
And to make the day beautiful
I perfume myself with Raphael
Skin of eternal shepherd sorrow
Strange archangel from another sky
No delight no spark
No mischief without Raphael
Days without him become boredom
And my nights grow even more bored
No worry no prelude
No promise to the eternal
Just the world in our bed
Just our lives in a rainbow

Raphael looks like a wise man
And his words are velvet
With his deep voice
And his straightforward gaze
When he tells stories
When he invents
I can listen to him
Night and day
Hmm

Four consonants and three vowels
It's the first name of Raphael
I whisper it in his ear
It makes him laugh like a sun
