Vicent –by  Don McLean

Starry, starry night  paint your palette blue and grey一闪一闪的星夜 调出了你画布上的蓝与灰
Look out on a summer's day  在夏季的某一天
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul 用眼睛看到了灵魂的深处

Shadows on the hills  山的影子啊
Sketch the trees and the daffodils  描出了树和水仙花的样子
Catch the breeze and the winter chills 捕捉到风和冬天的寒冷
In colors on the snowy linen land 绘在那近似于雪白的亚麻色大地上

Now i understand  我终于明白了
What you tried to say to me  你想要表达的是什么
And how you suffered for your sanity  你在精神上遭受的折磨
And how you tried to set them free  还有你试图解放(自己的灵魂)

They would not listen; they did not know how.  从没有人听到过(你的心声), 他们也不会懂的
Perhaps they'll listen now.  也许, 他们现在能够理解了

Starry, starry night:  一闪一闪的星夜
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze;  热情的花朵是明亮的火焰
Swirling clouds in violet haze  像漩涡形状的云藏在紫罗蓝色的烟雾里
Reflect in vincent's eyes of china blue. 映出了你眼中瓷器般的蓝彩

Colors changing hue:  色调随之改变
Morning fields of amber grain,  清晨的田野是琥珀色的谷粒
Weathered faces lined in pain    风干的脸庞刻画了痛苦
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
艺术家仍然用充满了爱的手去抚慰他们(的心灵)

Now i understand  我终于明白了
What you tried to say to me,  你想要表达的是什么
And how you suffered for your sanity  你在精神上遭受的折磨
And how you tried to set them free.  还有你试图解放(自己的灵魂)
They would not listen; they did not know how.  
从没有人听到过(你的心声), 他们也不会懂的
Perhaps , they'll listen now   也许, 他们现在能够理解了

For they could not love you  他们对你如此的不友善
But still, your love was true.  你仍然一如往常地深爱着他们
And when no hope was left inside  即使当你绝望的时候
On that starry, starry night  在一闪一闪的星夜下
You took your life as lovers often do.  你把生命无私的奉献出来
But i could've told you, vincent:  但是, 我一定要告诉你
This world was never meant  这个世界是毫无意义的
For one as beautiful as you.  尤其是对你这样高尚的人而言

Starry, starry night:  一闪一闪的星夜
Portraits hung in empty halls:  自画像悬挂在空荡荡的大厅里
Frameless heads on nameless walls  没有框架里的头像在无名的墙上
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget;
依旧不忘了用你的眼睛来看着这个世界

Like the strangers that you've met:  像你曾经见到过的陌生人
The ragged men in ragged clothes.  一个衣衫褴褛的人
The silver thorn, a bloody rose  银色的荆棘还有鲜红的玫瑰
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.  谎言破碎在纯净的白雪之中

Now i think i know  我终于明白了
What you tried to say to me,  你想要表达的是什么
And how you suffered for your sanity  你在精神上遭受的折磨
And how you tried to set them free.  还有你试图解放(自己的灵魂)
They would not listen; they're not listening still.  
没有人倾听(你的心声), 他们现在仍然不会听
Perhaps they never will.  也许他们永远都不能了解

下面是梵高的《Starry Night》，不多说了。
