Please proofread for me

This a a song I play on guitar, and would like to do in Spanish. The name of the song is 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' -- an old jazz song smile

Could you please tell me if my translation works on the following verse -- remember, I am trying to maintain the rhythm of the song.

Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper I love you. Birds singing in the sycamore tree Dream a little dream of me. Say 'nighty-night' and kiss me. Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me. While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me.

Estrellas brillan por encima de ti Brisas nocturnas parecen susurrar te amen. Canto de los pájaros en el árbol sicómoro Sueña un poco sueño de mi. Dice buenas noches y bésame. Sólo me abrazas fuerte y te diga me echa de menos Mientras estoy solo y azul como puede ser Sueña un poco sueño de mi.

Las estrellas brillan sobre ti. Las brisas nocturnas parecen susurrar te amo y el canto de las aves en la higuera sueñan un sueño acerca de mi. Dame las buenas noches y bésame. Abrázame fuerte y dime que me extrañarás. Mientras yo esté solo y tan triste así, sueña un sueño acerca de mí.

does 'higuera' closely or loosely translate to 'sycamore tree'? To be honest, I have no clue. Thanks again.. - primus, May 25, 2010
