You are like the stars. You glisten and sparkle just like them. There is just one difference between you and them; they are a thousand, you are unique.

hi rollingmaster

I have made a few edits; let me know if you don't agree.

Here is your original translation:

I liken you to stars. You are as glistening as them and also as sparkling as them. Yet, there is an only difference between you and them; they are a thousand, you are the one.

Would you mind if learnt what is wrong with 'I liken you to stars'?

No problem! It is just that it sounds more biblical than anything else. I find it difficult to take it seriously when I see the sentence and I don't think the idea here was to make it so melodramatic that it becomes a joke. Another possibility would be 'I compare you to the stars', if you prefer.

I think 'you are like the stars' is better.

Sorry, Lein! I think you were faster than me again. I´ve read rollingmaster´s original translation, you see? (For example: "I like you to stars." = "You´re like the stars."
Bye!

Hi guys

I think the translation is fine. But I suggest saying:

"they are a thousand, (but) you are unique"

If it gives exactly the same meaning, it is OK

I like your suggestion! I think it sounds more beautiful. ('you are the one = you are the one for me; you are unique = you are a very special person, not only to me, you just are)
Rollingmaster, are you happy for me to change it?
