最近买了几本本子，
有一本封面是星夜，
发现小朋友喜欢梵高的画，
可能是用色方面吧，
就想起来推荐她听听这首歌，
也很中意。
Vincent (by Don McClean)
Starry, starry night,
Starry, starry night,
paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free They would not listen,
they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night,
flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Lie soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen,
they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you,
but still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night,
portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes
that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes Silver
thorn of bloody rose Lies crushed and broken on the virgin soil
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free They would not listen,
they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will |
