STARY STARY NIGHT [/url](VINCENT)  
By Don McLean  


星夜  
Starry, starry night  
繁星之夜  
Paint your palette blue and gray  
星空在你的画板照得灰暗幽兰
Look out on a summer's day  
某个夏日
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul  
你用洞悉我灵魂深处的双眼
Shadows on the hills  
看到山上的阴影
Sketch the trees and the daffodils  
画上树和水仙花
Catch the breeze and the winter chills  
捕捉微风和冬天的寒意
In colors on the snowy linen land   
亚麻色的大地覆盖着积雪
Now I understand  
现在我明白了
What you tried to say to me  
你想对我说什么
And how you suffered for your sanity  
你如何承受天赋的折磨
And how you tried to set them free  
你如何试图释放你的才华
They would not listen; they did not know how  
他们不听，他们不曾知道
Perhaps they'll listen now  
也许现在他们会听

Starry, starry night  
繁星之夜
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze  
耀眼的花朵闪烁光芒
Swirling clouds in violet haze  
流转的云朵散发紫罗兰的朦胧
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue  
在文森特中国蓝的眼睛中闪耀
Colors changing hue  
颜色在变
Morning fields of amber grain  
清晨琥珀色的田野
Weathered faces lined in pain  
痛苦中风化的脸
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand  
在艺术家爱之手下减轻痛苦

Now I understand  
现在我明白了
What you tried to say to me  
你想对我说什么
And how you suffered for your sanity  
你如何承受天赋的折磨
And how you tried to set them free  
你如何试图释放你的才华
They would not listen; they did not know how
他们从来不听，他们不曾知道  
Perhaps they'll listen now  
也许现在他们会听

For they could not love you  
因为他们不能爱你
But still, your love was true  
但你的爱是真挚的
And when no hope was left inside  
当内心再也没有希望
On that starry, starry night  
在布满星星的夜晚
You took your life as lovers often do  
你像情人们常做的那样结束自己的生命
But I could've told you, Vincent  
我本应告诉你，文森特
This world was never meant For one as beautiful as you  
这个世界从来就不象你一样美  

   

Starry, starry night  
繁星之夜
Portraits hung in empty halls  
肖像挂在空荡荡的大厅
Frameless heads on nameless walls  
无名的墙上挂着无框的头像
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget  
凝视这个世界，难以忘却
Like the strangers that you've met  
就像你遇见的陌生人
The ragged men in ragged clothes  
褴褛的衣服粗鲁的人
The silver thorn, a bloody rose  
血红色玫瑰、银色荆棘
Lie c（敏感词屏蔽）ed and broken on the virgin snow  
破碎地躺在无痕的雪地上
Now  I think I know 现在我明白了  
What you tried to say to me  
你想对我说什么
And how you suffered for your sanity  
你如何承受天赋的折磨
And how you tried to set them free  
你如何试图释放你的才华They would not listen; They arenot listening still
他们不曾听说　他们仍然听不到
perhaps they never will
也许他们从未听说
