O mother, this is the vision I beheld in my dream. Many stars were there in the Firmament. Like unto a rock from the Heavens did one star fall before me. I tried to lift it, but could not. -- Gilgamesh: The New Translation. Gerald J. Davis. 2014.
A fairly literal translation of the above Lojban (which was derived from the above English) back into English might run something like:
O, mother. This is my recent observation-dream: many stars were present above the sky. One star before me did fall like a rock from the sky. I tried to lift it. But I could not.
