my beloved must be made of stardust,

flower petals, mother's milk, clear rain water and the laughter of multicolored crystals...Does my beloved exist?

I think it's probably "estará" in the speculative sense here, not the future.

my beloved/my love shall be made of stardust

Amada comes from "amar", to love.

My Lady will be made of sand of distant stars
Of flowers in bloom, and water of the rain
Your smell of mother\'s milk, and shine of your cristals...
O, where are you, my love?
