Sleep, my star, the night brings no pain,
My shadow is your amulet in this moment.
Sleep will come quietly, like the whisper of grasses,
I, meanwhile, have waited by your heart.
Let the world outside the window burn to ashes,
You are within me – and that is enough.
Close your eyes, do not fear the darkness,
For I am the one who is always near.
Sleep, my dear, I am watching over the night,
I am holding you, nothing else…
I will lay the sky upon your shoulders,
And guide your dream, my boat, across the stars.
Sleep, My Star
