In Dutch it is:

Sea = Zee
Star = Ster
For ever = Eeuwig/(voor) altijd

In my own language (Lúsiaquia) creation it is:
Sea = Seii
Star = Astro
For ever = Por todo

IN CHINESE (SIMPLIFIED, for mainland China)

Sun 日 rì (must be prononced like the french "je")
Star 星 xīng (like the verb "to sing", but don't prounonce too much the "ng")

These characters are never employed alone in spoken Chinese, although the meaning is correct. Orally you would say
sun : 太阳 (tai4 yang2)
star : 星星 (xing1 xing)

Icelandic :
sea : sjór / haf
sun : sól
star : stjarna
forever : að eilífu / eilíft
