歌曲歌词
 

Starry, starry night

繁星缀满的夜里

Paint your palette blue and grey

为你的调色盘涂上灰与蓝

Look out on a summer's day

你望着夏日的白昼

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

用那能够看穿我灵魂深处黑暗的双眼

Shadows on the hills

山丘上的阴影

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

勾勒出树林与水仙花的轮廓

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

捕捉着微风与冬日的凛冽

In colors on the snowy linen land

以色彩呈现在雪白的画布上

Now I understand

如今我才明白

What you tried to say to me

那些你想要告诉我的话语

And how you suffered for your sanity

你是如何为你的清醒备受煎熬

How you tried to set them free

你是多么想让它们解脱

They would not listen, they did not know how

但他们不愿倾听，也不知道如何倾听

Perhaps they'll listen now

或许他们现在会愿意听

Starry, starry night

繁星缀满的夜里

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

火红的花朵耀眼燃烧着

Swirling clouds in a violet haze

涡流的云朵隐在紫罗兰色的霾里

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

倒映在文森特瓷蓝的眼里

Colors changing hue

色彩变化万千

Morning fields of amber grain

清晨琥珀色的田野

Weathered faces lined in pain

刻满痛苦饱经风霜的脸庞

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

在艺术家爱意的手下得到抚慰

Now I understand

如今我才明白

What you tried to say to me

那些你想要告诉我的话语

How you suffered for your sanity

你是如何为你的清醒备受煎熬

How you tried to set them free

你是多么想让它们解脱

They would not listen, they did not know how

但他们不愿倾听，也不知道如何倾听

Perhaps they'll listen now

或许他们现在会愿意听

For they could not love you

因为他们永远不会爱你

But still your love was true

但你的爱却如此真实

And when no hope was left in sight

当眼下已没有希望的气息

On that starry, starry night

在这繁星缀满的夜里

You took your life, as lovers often do

你像恋人摆脱苦恋那般了结了余生

But I could've told you, Vincent

但是我想告诉你，文森特

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

这个世界配不上如此美好的你

Starry, starry night

繁星缀满的夜里

Portraits hung in empty halls

一幅幅的肖像悬挂在空荡荡的大厅里

Frameless heads on nameless walls

无名的墙上挂着没有边框的头像

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

一双双眼睛难以忘怀地凝望着世间

Like the strangers that you've met

像你遇到的那些陌生人

The ragged men in ragged clothes

那些衣着褴褛，境遇堪怜的人

The silver thorn on the bloody rose

血色玫瑰的银刺

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

破碎躺在这处子般洁白的雪地上

Now I think I know

现在我觉得我懂了

What you tried to say to me

那些你想要告诉我的话语

And how you suffered for your sanity

你是如何为你的清醒备受煎熬

How you tried to set them free

你是多么想让它们解脱

They would not listen, they're not listening still

但他们不愿倾听，依然没有在倾听

Perhaps they never will

或许他们永远也不会理解
