Vincent

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 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
Are 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 did 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 inside
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lover's often do
But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hang in empry halls
Frameless heads on nameless wall
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

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

繁星点点的夜空
让灰和蓝洒落你的调色板中
憧憬着夏的来临
用你能洞悉我灵魂深处之黑暗的眼睛

小山上的阴翳
勾勒着树和水仙的身影
捕捉着冬日凛凛的微风
那片亚麻布上多雪的土地中色彩朦胧

繁星点点的夜空
绚烂的花卉如焰火般耀眼
紫罗兰般的薄幕渲染着旋转的云团
这一切都在凡高忧郁的眼中闪现

色彩变幻着色调
从种满琥珀色谷物的早上的田野
到饱经沧桑的脸上劳苦的皱纹
都在你的笔下感受到轻松

我终于明白
你想诉说的意境
你如何挣扎着维护自己的心智
你如何竭力释放心中的痛
他们不会聆听,也不曾理解
或许现在会有人倾听

他们不曾喜爱你
但你的爱仍旧真诚
当希望不再闪现在那
繁星点点的夜空
你象许多多情的人结束了自己的生命
但我真希望能有机会告诉你
这个世界不曾也不会
象你的画那样的美丽

繁星点点的夜空
肖像悬挂在空寂的大厅
无框的头像贴在无名的墙上
那双眼注视这世界,永远难忘

就像偶遇的陌生人
褴褛的人穿着褴褛的衣衫
血红的玫瑰,银色的荆棘
在初雪中破败,粉碎

现在我终于领悟
你想诉说的意境
你如何挣扎着维护自己的心智
你如何竭力释放心中的痛
他们不曾聆听,现在依旧不会
或许永远不想倾听
