Does this small piece of poetry sound natural? Here is a russian song that I tried to translate recently. I'd be very grateful if someone could check that out. Besides I'd really like to know if my text is at least grammaticaly correct. Thank you in advance! The link to the original song is here. Just in case if someone is interested how it sounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TllTGtgZGUQ The translation itself: Watching over April Just look how nice these nights have become. But my mommy's still worrying and concerned: Why do you always walk alone, my child? All alone. Why do you always walk alone, my child? All alone. At the end of April begins my way And the next one is where it ends. Shiny stars became much larger and so kind. So don't worry, Mama, I'm just watching. I'm just watching over April. So don't worry, Mama, I'm just watching. I'm just watching over April. My child, I remember all these things you've been through. And so sad became your gaze since then. Maybe did she just forget about you? Doesn't wanna see you anymore? Anymore. Maybe did she just forget about you? Doesn't wanna see you anymore? Anymore. From one end to another moving I. And stars became much larger and so kind. No, mommy, don't you worry. I'm just watching. I'm just watching over April. No, mommy, don't you worry. I'm just watching. I'm just watching over April.

The translation itself:

Watching over April

Just look how nice these nights have become.
But my mommy's still worrying and concerned:
Why do you always walk alone, my child?
All alone.
Why do you always walk alone, my child?
All alone.

At the end of April begins my way (Perhaps you mean: 'my journey begins')
And the next one is where it ends.
Shiny stars became much larger and so kind. ('Shiny stars' doesn't sound very poetic. You could say 'The stars shine, growning larger and kinder'.)
So don't worry, Mama, I'm just watching.
I'm just watching
over April.
So don't worry, Mama, I'm just watching.
I'm just watching
over April.

My child, I remember all these things you've been through.
And so sad became your gaze since then. ('And since then, sadness has became you gaze.' You wouldn't say this in conversation, but it fits with a song lyric style.)
Maybe did she just forget about you? ('Maybe she just forgot about you.)
Doesn't wanna see you anymore? (Does she not want to see you anymore?)
Anymore.
Maybe did she just forget about you? (Same as before)
Doesn't wanna see you anymore? (Same as before)
Anymore.

From one end to another moving I. ('From one end to another I keep moving')
And stars became much larger and so kind. (Same as earlier line.)
No, mommy, don't you worry.
I'm just watching.
I'm just watching
over April. No, mommy, don't you worry.
I'm just watching.
I'm just watching
over April.
