When I awake
Hearing this soft crying
Close to you
Whenever you want
I'll lull you to sleep with kisses
And soft whispers
When at the grey dawn
I listen to your stories
I understand everything, my love
In these few sounds
So much content
Babel...
My son, speak to me, speak
Babel...
My son, the day is coming
So say to me: babel..., babel...
You sleep quietly at night
Until I check to see if you're breathing
So beautiful
That I'm afraid to touch you
Nobody has yet
Gone to sleep like this beside me
Dimming echos
Of the first dreams, joy and pain
Although nobody has yet
Spoken to me
I understand everything
So speak to me, speak:
Babel...
My son, in one word so many
Babel...
My son, the day is coming
So speak to me: babel..., babel...
Hope and fear
Swirl in my soul incessantly
Existing you do so much for me
Please, speak to me
Speak: babel..., babel...
