Verse
Small hands hold the shells.
Petites mains tiennent les coques.
Glue and brown skins dry.
La colle et les peaux brunes sèchent.
We craft a tiny light.
Nous créons une petite lumière.
For you in the night.
Pour toi dans la nuit.
Chorus
Stars of chestnut on the wall.
Des étoiles de marrons au mur.
Stars of chestnut for us all.
Des étoiles de marrons pour nous tous.
Watch them shine above your bed.
Vois-les briller au-dessus de ton lit.
Rest your tired, heavy head.
Repose ta tête lourde et fatiguée.

White walls turn to gold.
Les murs blancs deviennent or.
Stories yet to be told.
Des histoires à raconter.
Paper strings and autumn wood.
Ficelles de papier et bois d'automne.
Everything is going to be good.
Tout va bien se passer.

One for every wish we make.
Une pour chaque vœu fait.
One hangs from your window latch.
Une pend à la poignée de ta fenêtre.

Les marrons gardent leur couleur d'automne.
Wait until the flowers grow.
Attends que les fleurs poussent.
