很久以前在easy FM就听过这首歌,当时的感觉就是你无法不喜欢这样一首歌。:)
但一直不知道是谁唱的,对歌词也是半懂不懂。今天无意中又在easy FM
听到这首久违的Starry Starry Night,才知道原来是大名鼎鼎的Don McLean的
经典之一,歌曲的灵感来自于Vincent van Gogh的名画 the Starry Night.
歌词也和van Gogh的画一样,色彩丰富,措辞之优美更可见McLean的功力。:)
Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
D. McClean
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 the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus:
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
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
Chorus:
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 lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
