I'm not a translator, but I like music and singing when I was young (back to some 45 years ago)and it's still clinging in my mind each time I heard the Schubert Serenade the english lyrics of which I read from a Piano Book:

The night was young when you came along
Then two violins played
I held your hands, it was love's command
to sing our sweet serenade
When I looked up on the sky
Dear everything seemed so far
more than a distant star
When I gazed into your eyes
dear you're close to me and then
life comes to me again
