Is it right to say "her" here? I'm not sure.

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.

OK - thanks. I'll accept it.
