The Star and the Sailor

She’s like little sun rays,
Like the dusk and the dawn.
She’s like a star
Leading my way.

And when I touch her—
Floating with the clouds!
And when I kiss her,
Hourglasses break up!

She´s like the full moon
Lighting up all around.
She’s like a summer breeze
Making birds sing aloud.

And when I hold her,
All the pain disappears.
And when we laugh together,
I sail the open sea!

But I´m a humming bird that meets
A window for the first time,
A sailor who never
Knew about the stars.
