love on a pillow
Explanation:
Not the literal translation, I know and there is a "Warrior's Rest" published by Christiane Rochefort, but I think this is a better fit, and anyway it's a film by Roger Vadim so must be right!

The meaning.


Explanation:
You asked for the meaning.
Expresión francesa: le repos du guerrier = [femme, épouse, disponible et compréhensive].
That means that the husband can "be with his woman" because he's been in war, with no woman... got it?
That's the meaning... translation, I don't know.

I suppose it means that you are normally strong and a fighter/or have to fight in life, but today you can relax.

the warrior´s/hero´s repose


Explanation:
Sacado de Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zaratustra

"Men shall be trained for war and woman for the recreation of the warrior. All else is folly."

"His arm across his head: surmount his repose. thus should the hero repose; thus ..."

En el sentido que dijo Juan antes que yo.

Por ejemplo, es algo que dice una amiga mía cuando el marido vuelve de estar 15 días en el campo, y uno llama a ver si quieren ir al cine, entonces ella contesta que él está muy cansado, que hoy harán el reposo del guerrero.
