I love you more than I ever loved a man
And I'm shy
I want to make love with you
More than I ever wanted to

Do you think that you could make me take some rest?
Make me lie down, make me listen to your chest?

Because Vishnu lives at the core of your heart
Vishnu is and Vishnu starts

Oh my love, my delight
Is to be with you in the night
Oh your breath, your nakedness
All your softness, and your hardness

Do you think that you could maybe take some rest?
Come and lie down, take a listen in my chest?

Because Vishnu lives at the core of my heart
Vishnu is and Vishnu starts
Oh Vishnu, I sing to you
Just to say, oh Lord, thank you

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
