Umm ... this might not be about sleeping ...

How about "when we go to bed again"?

I'd say
"I can't wait to lie down (to go to bed) again tonight"

No, I don't think so - "go to bed" is better - "lie down" sounds strange in this context, unless you say "lie down with you", but even that is a bit odd.

It may, but nothing indecent.

So I should prefer a word that could imply that too or not?

Well, yes, but not a vulgar one.

Ο.k. because dunya insists that it can't have that connotation too and it only shows a person that wants to sleep because he's tired....!

I don't think so, I think the meaning is quite clear. The person looks forward for the night to come so s/he will be in bed with the other person. As Kafetzou said above, It has nothing to do with "sleeping".

Sorry but French is my mother tongue and I AM SURE there is no sexual connotation here. If you are not sure, please ask a native French educated person like Francky5591 for instance.

dunya_guzel, I trust you. I think we should make sure that every language can be interpreted either way, if possible, though.

Francky, if you're back, Tantine, what do you think?

I agree with dunya_guzel, nothing indicates any sexual connotation in this text, even implicitely.

Hi All

I agree with dunya_guzel and Francky that there is no implicit sexual connotation here. I would even add that “on” does not necessarily mean “we” in English and can be translated as “one”. This phrase does not even imply that one or more persons will be sharing the same bed.

I could even suggest that “Can’t wait to go back to bed this evening” might be the least ambiguous way of translating this.

Hope this helps

Thanks, Tantine - it looks like I was totally off base on this one.
