At the end of the day I head home
It's silent, lights are dimmed
At times during sunset
It's good for me to shut off internally (shut down)
Mini breaths in the rooms*
Eyes shut tight
In my hearts inner chamber
Small joys, small joys
Chorus 1.
This I request (pray):
Watch over us, the simple folk**
Home and pot cooking on the fire
Your embrace, the laughter of children
Thus I request:
Guard us, the innocent ones**
We should never stop feeling***
Your smile, the laughter of children
At the end of the day, it's just the two of us
In the living room on the couch, the world doesn't exist
On the guitar, I strum your heart
And there's no need to chase stuff; everything is already here
In the rooms lie small breaths
Shut eyes
In the chambers of my heart
Small joys, small joys
Chorus 2.
This I request (pray):
Keep us simple**
Home and pot cooking on the fire
Your embrace, the laughter of children
Thus I request:
Keep us innocent**
We should never stop feeling***
Your smile, the laughter of children
Like a tree planted in waters***
The gate to heaven
I assure you: There will be sweet fruits *****
As long as we are (stay) simple

* children sleeping in their bedrooms
** alternates to these lines (I chose one interpretation for each the chorus)
1. Watch over us, the simple folk
Guard us, the innocent ones
2. Keep us simple (preserve our simplicity)
Keep us innocent (preserve our innocence)
*** cease becoming emotional, not be like those who do not access their emotions
**** where the tree's roots draw sustenance from the living waters
***** as in, the fruits of our labors. Good results.
