An evening star [Un luceafăr] - Mihai Eminescu

An evening star, an evening star bestowed with thousand rays
Has risen in my darkness and lighted all my days.
I watch that light with wonder and wake up from my dreams
Then reach out for that being, who like an angel gleams.

She's light and tall, resembling a fairy in a tale
She's slender and she's gentle, sheds fire on the trail
Her yellow hair is curly, her face is a pale fruit
Her cheeks are full of roses, her smile is smart and cute.
