It was like 3 AM when I translated it.  |
Haha, I don't often translate things... sometimes (like here) they come out sort of unnatural since I've yet to master the art of balancing adaptation and, how would you say it, faithfulness to the original text?
I translated mine as soon as I woke up so it might have been a bit weirder too

I can see how it could possibly be nights of starlight and moon, but with her throwing those particles into random English sentences it's really hard to know. |
It is hard to know! I went for "nights of starlight and moon" because many times, for example:
ayuは歌手＝ Ayu is a singer. （With the copula left out as is common, as of course you know, in informal speech.)
So with this sentence, ’夜はstarlight and moon’＝ A night that is starlight and moon. （Further adapted into 'nights of starlight and moon')
Idk if I made sense of myself
