Translating a nursery rhyme
I'm trying to write "Twinkle, little star" in Japanese. Please correct my mistakes.
ピカピカ光る、星は小さい
何が貴方ですか
上の世界、とても高い
ダイヤが空にようだ
ピカピカ光る、星は小さい
何が貴方ですか
Also, what is a better way to translate "I wonder what you are"?

ピカピカ光る、小さいお星さま
あなたは一体何者なの？
地上よりもっと高く
まるで空のダイヤモンドのよう
ピカピカ光る、小さいお星さま
あなたは一体何者なの？
I think this is more natural ! 頑張ってください:)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
This is just my translation
ぴかぴか光る小さな星よ
あなたは一体何物なの？
世界の上のはるか彼方
空に浮かぶダイヤモンドの様
ぴかぴか光る小さな星よ
あなたは一体何物なの？
Besides that, this song is actually famous in Japan too.
