I think I somehow managed to begin speaking in Afrikaans and end in Dutch.

[The night had fallen. I had let my tools drop from my hands. Of what use was now my hammer, my bolt, or thirst, or death? On one star, one planet, my planet, the Earth, there was a little prince to be comforted]

Google Translate

Die nag geval het. Ek het laat my gereedskap laat val van my hande. Wat gebruik was nou my hamer, my bout, of dors, of dood? Op die een ster, een planeet, my planeet, die Aarde, was daar 'n klein prins om getroos te word

My Translation

Dit het nag geword , ek het my gereedskap laat val van my hande. Nutteloos was my hamer, my bout, of dors of dood? Op die een ster, een planeet my planeet, die Aarde was daar ʼn klein prins om getroos te word.

I am not a pro or anything like that but it "sounds" about right... I am sure someone better then me will be more helpful to you. I hope it helps...

I introduced a word "Nutteloos" that is appropriate “in my opinion” that helped the flow and helped with its meaning. For this reason I kept the Google translation handy that you can compare them.

Agreed teco. Nutteloos is descriptive of the useless tools. I do however think one should structure the sentence a little different. Here is my humble attempt:

Die nag het gedaal. Ek het my gereedskap laat val. Van watter nut was my hamer, my skroef, of dors of dood nou? Op 'n ster, 'n planeet, my planeet; die Aarde, was daar 'n klein prins wat getroos moes word.

OR

Die nag het gedaal. My gereedskap het uit my hande gegly. Van watter nut .....etc etc

When I looked at it I figured that I must try and change as little as possible. I end up thinking this but only placed the above...

Here is my original first try.

Met son ondergang het ek my gereedskap lat glip van my hande. Nutteloos was my hamer, my skroewe, dors of dood. Op die ster, die planeet my planeet die aarde was daar ʼn klein prins wat getroos moes word.

as you can see it is closer to what it must be but just to many changes.

You know you like Afrikaans when you keep discussing it even after whoever asked you already said it was enough.

Yes only because I can speak Dutch

Hmmppf, any improvement suggestions? Afrikaans sounds sexy to my ears, except when I am speaking it myself....
