美国民谣Vincent（Don Mclean）

Starry, starry night 繁星点点的夜晚

 Paint your palette blue and gray 为你的调色盘涂上灰与蓝

 Look out on the summer’s day 你在那夏日向外远眺

 With eyes that know the darkness in my soul 用你那双能洞悉我灵魂的双眼

Shadows on the hills 山丘上的阴影

Sketch the trees and the daffodils 描绘出树木与水仙的轮廓

 Catch the breeze and the winter chills 捕捉微风与冬日的冷洌

In colors on the snowy linen land 以色彩呈现在雪白的画布上

 Now I understand what you tried to say to me 如今我才明白你想对我说的是什么

 How you suffered for your sanity 为自你己的清醒承受了多少的痛苦

 How you tried to set them free 你多么努力的想让它们得到解脱

 They would not listen 但是人们却拒绝理会

 They did not know how 那时他们不知道该如何倾听

Perhaps they’ll listen now 或许他们现在会愿意听

 Starry, starry night 繁星点点的夜晚

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze 火红的花朵明艳耀眼

Swirling clouds in violet haze 卷云在紫色的薄霭里飘浮

Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue 映照在文森特湛蓝的瞳孔中

 Colors changing hue 色彩变化万千

 Morning fields of amber grain 清晨里琥珀色的田野

 Weathered faces lined in pain 满布风霜的脸孔刻画着痛苦

 Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand 在艺术家充满爱的画笔下得到了抚慰 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me 如今我才明白你想对我说的是什么

 How you suffered for your sanity 你为自己的清醒承受了多少的痛苦

How you tried to set them free 你多么努力的想让它们得到解脱

They would not listen 但是人们却拒绝理会

 They did not know how 那时他们不知道该如何倾听

Perhaps they’ll listen now 或许他们现在会愿意听

 For they could not love you 因为他们当时无法爱你

 But still your love was true 可是你的爱却依然真实

And when no hope was left in sight 而当你眼中见不到任何的希望

 On that starry, starry night 在那个繁星点点的夜晚

 You took your life as lovers often do 你像许多绝望的恋人般结束了自己的生命

But I could have told you, Vincent 我多么希望能有机会告诉你，文森特

This world was never meant for one 这个世界根本配不上

As beautiful as you 像你如此美好的一个人

Starry, starry night 繁星点点的夜晚

Portraits hung in empty halls 空旷的大厅里挂这一幅幅画像

 Frameless heads on nameless walls 无框的脸孔倚靠在无名的壁上

 With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget 有着注视人世而无法忘怀的眼睛

 Like the strangers that you’ve met 就像你曾见过的陌生人

The ragged men in ragged clothes 那些衣着褴褛，境遇堪怜的人

 The silver thorn of bloody rose 就像血红玫瑰上的银刺

Lie crush and broken on the virgin snow 饱受蹂躏之后静静躺在刚飘落的雪地上

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me 如今我想我已明白你想对我说的是什么How you suffered for your sanity 你为自己的清醒承受了多少的苦痛

How you tried to set them free 你多么努力的想让它们得到解脱

They would not listen 但是人们却拒绝理会

They’re not listening still 他们依然没有在倾听

Perhaps they never will 或许他们永远也不会理解
