Four consonants and three vowels
That's Raphaël's first name
I whisper it in my ear
And every letter amazes me
It's the umlaut that enchants me
In Raphaël's first name
How it blends with the a and the e
How it intertwines them with the l
Raphaël looks like an angel
But he's a devil of love
From the sway of his hips
And from his velvet gaze
When he leans my nights are white
I love notes that taste like honey
In Raphaël's first name
I whisper them as I wake
Between the feathers of sleep
And so the day will be beautiful
I perfume myself with Raphaël
Shrinking skin eternal shepherd
Strange archangel from another sky
No delight no spark
No mischief without Raphaël
Days without him turn to boredom
And my nights get bored all the more
No worry no prelude
No promise to the eternal
Just the world in our bed
Just our lives in rainbow
Raphaël looks like a sage
And his words are velvet
And from his direct gaze
When he invents I can listen
Four consonants and three vowels
That's Raphaël's first name
I whisper in his ear
It makes him laugh like a sun
