I found the lyrics on a handful of web sites. The lyrics below agree with what was sung by Deanna Durbin in a video on one of the sites (she repeats the first verse). The English translation below was also on that site.

Estrellita

Estrellita del lejano cielo,
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!
Tu sabes que pronto he de morir.
Baja y dime si me quiere un poco,
Porque yo no puedo sin su amor vivir.


Little Star

Little star of the distant sky,
You see my pain,
You know my anguish.
Come down and tell me if he loves me a little,
Because I cannot live without his love.

You are, star, my beacon of love!
You know that soon I shall die.
Come down and tell me if he loves me a little,
Because I cannot live without his love.


However, not all of the sites agree on the lyrics. Many others list these as the lyrics:

Estrellita del lejano cielo
Que sabes mi querer,
Que miras mi sufrir,
Ven y dime si me quiere un poco,
Porque ya no puedo yo sin su amor vivir.

Tú eres, estrella, mi faro de amor,
Tú sabes que pronto he de morir;
Ven y dime si me quiere un poco,
Porque ya no puedo yo sin su amor vivir.

Much obliged. Why is it that I couldn't find a single web site which gives the lyric to this lovely tune written by Manuel Ponce. Mucho Gracias.
