Que miras mi dolor
Que sabes mi sufrir
Baja y dime
Si me quiere un poco
Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir
Tu eres estrella mi faro de amor!
Baja y dime

Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir
The lyrics of "Estrellita" by Mr. Acker Bilk & The Leon Young String Chorale express a deep longing for love and connection. The song speaks to a star in the distant sky, personifying it as a sympathetic force that sees and understands the singer's pain and suffering. The singer pleads with the star to come down and tell them if their love is reciprocated, for they cannot live without it.
The opening lines, "Estrellita del lejano cielo, que miras mi dolor, que sabes mi sufrir," establish a sense of distance between the singer and their beloved. The star serves as a metaphorical observer, witnessing their anguish and knowing their suffering. The singer seeks reassurance, asking the star to come closer and reveal whether their love is returned, expressing their inability to exist without this reciprocal love.
The refrain, "Tu eres estrella mi faro de amor, tu sabes que pronto he de morir," further emphasizes the intense dependence on this love. The star is described as a guiding light of love, and the singer confesses that they will soon die if their love is not returned. This illustrates the desperation and deep emotional connection the singer feels for their beloved.
In summary, "Estrellita" conveys a profound yearning for love and seeks affirmation from a distant star about the reciprocation of this affection. The song emphasizes the singer's dependency on this love, presenting it as a vital source of emotional nourishment and survival.
