Στίχοι:
Όλα τα άστρα πρόσταξα

Στον ουρανό θε να διαβώ
ν' απλώσω τα όνειρά σου
σε θήκη αστροστόλιστη
να βάλω την καρδιά σου

Και τα πουλιά στον ουρανό
θα πλέκουν στα μαλλιά σου
στεφάνι από γιασεμιά
φύλλα απ' την ελιά σου

Να φτερουγίζουν λεύτερα
πάνω στα βλέφαρά σου
για να 'ρθω και να κοιμηθώ
κρυφά στην αγκαλιά σου

Μην κοιμηθείς πριν την αυγή
και πριν χαράξει ημέρα
όλα τα άστρα πρόσταξα
να μείνουν αναμμένα

Lyrics:
I’ve ordered all the stars

Oh to step into the sky
and scatter your dreams;
to place your heart inside
a case of shimmering stars

while the birds abounding in the sky
will braid into your hair
a wreath
of jasmine boughs and olive leaves

then flutter freely
on your eyelids
that I may come to rest
in your embrace.

Don’t fall asleep before the dawn
Before the sun has risen.
I’ve ordered all the stars that shine
To keep their nightly vigil.
Translation: Laura Midgley-Nikos Andrikos

Güfteler:
Gökyüzüne çıkmak istiyorum
orada hayallerini sermek için,
Yıldızlarla süslenmiş bir mücevher kutusuna
yüreğini koyayım diye.

Gökteki kuşlar da yasemin ve zeytin ağacının
yapraklarından
saçlarına çelenk örecek.

Kirpiklerin üstünde serbestçe
kanat çırpsın diye,
kollarına gizlice yine gelip
uyumak için.

Seher vaktine kadar uyuma
çünkü yıldızlara sönmesinler diye
emrettim.

Tercüme: Niko Andrikos-Asya Arslantaş
