Who knew that this day I would lose my life for a star, For a star that has fallen from far away, That has the sky in her eyes My consolation in her hands My happiness in her smile And my sadness in her absence.
I don't know how English deals with this kind of poetic allegory. The submitter is talking about a star's eyes, hands and so on. But this star symbolises his/her beloved. If we want to be accurate we should translate "its hands", "its absence"..., however, since this star is personified, why not tolerate a personal possessive that symbolises a human being? It's up to you to decide. As for my Spanish ears, the whole poem is interpreted as making a reference to a person and not to an object.
Hi! Actually, I translated ´her´, because I´ve seen it´s the one who requested this translation looks male, and so I thought maybe it´s for a girlfriend or something.... I also like personification in poems.
