Starry, starry night
繁星夜里
paint your palette blue and gray
调色盘里的蓝与灰
look out on a summer's day
在夏日里出外探访
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
洞悉我灵魂深处的双眼
Shadows on the hills
山丘上的阴影
sketch the trees and the daffodils
树林与水仙花的速写
catch the breeze and the winter chills
捕捉冬天的冷风
in colors on the snowy linen land.
雪地里亚麻的色彩
And now I understand
如今我才明白
what you tried to say to me
你想对我说的是什么
and how you suffered for your sanity
当你清醒时你有多么痛苦
and how you tried to set them free.
你努力的想让痛苦解脱
They would not listen they did not know how
但人们却不理解，也不知该怎么做
perhaps they'll listen now.
也许，人们将学会倾听
Starry starry night
繁星夜里
flaming flowers that brightly blaze
火红的花朵
swirling clouds in violet haze
漩涡似的云与紫罗兰色的雾
reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
映照你湛蓝的眼瞳
Colors changing hue
色彩变化万千
morning fields of amber grain
清晨的田园里琥珀色的谷物
weathered faces lined in pain
布满风霜的脸上布满痛苦的皱纹
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
在艺术家可爱的手下得到抚慰
And now I understand
如今我才明白
what you tried to say to me
你想对我说的是什么
and how you suffered for your sanity
当你清醒时你有多么痛苦
and how you tried to set them free.
你努力的想让痛苦得到解脱
They would not listen they did not know how
但人们却不理会，也不知该怎么做
perhaps they'll listen now.
也许，人们将学会倾听
For they could not love you
世界对你没有爱意
but still your love was true
但你的爱对世界的爱意依然真切
and when no hope was left in sight on that
当灿烂的星空里
starry starry night.
不存一丝希望
You took your life as lovers often do,
你像殉情一般，结束了自己的生命
But I could have told you Vincent
但愿我能告诉你
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
肮脏如世不配纯洁如你
Starry starry night
繁星点点的夜里
portraits hung in empty halls
肖像悬挂在空荡的大厅
Frameless heads on nameless walls
无框的脸靠在无名的墙上
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
配上一双你无法遗忘的，看遍世事的眼
Like the stranger that you've met
就像你曾遇见的陌生人
the ragged men in ragged clothes
那些衣衫褴褛的人们
the silver thorn of bloodyrose
血红的玫瑰上银色的刺
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
断裂并静卧在初下的雪上
And now I think I know
我想我已明白
what you tried to say to me
你想对我说的是什么
and how you suffered for your sanity
当你清醒时你有多么痛苦
and how you tried to set them free.
你努力的想让痛苦得到解脱
They would not listen they're not listening still
但人们却不理会，现在依然如此
perhaps they never will.
也许，他们永远不会
