Lyrics in english as translated by Yeva ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080103072902AAxE2u2 )


Under the light
And under shadows, in silence
If you're looking for shelter
Inaccessible
Know that it isn't far away and that we're shining there

To your star

Little sisters of my nights
I missed all that
When you knew the face
Of someone other than me
Know that I won't forget, but that things get erased

To your star

Always on horizon
Stars that are inclined
Since we don't have a choice, we remain with the heart
You can spit or even laugh, and you must do so.

To your star
To Marcos
To happiness
To beauty of dreams
To melancholy
To the hope that holds us
To the health of fire
And of the flame
To your star

Hail, gentle Evening, that bringst back
All things that bright morning hath *beguiled.
Thou bringst the lamb, thou bringst the kid,
And to its mother, her drowsy child.

(originally Sappho, although it would look more like this

Ϝέσπερε, πάντα φέρων, ὄσα φαίνολισ ἐσκέδασ᾽ αγωσ,
φέρεισ οἴν, φέρεισ αἶγα, φέρεισ ἄπυ ματέρι παῖδα..)

"To be obliged to *beg our daily happiness from others bespeaks a more lamentable poverty than that of him who begs his daily bread."
(Charles Caleb Colton)
