《Vincent》
演唱：唐·麦克莱恩
Starry, starry night
繁星点点的夜里
paint your palette blue and gray
画出你调色盘里的蓝与灰
look out on a summer's day
在夏日里出外探访
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
用你那洞悉我灵魂幽暗处的双眼
Shadows on the hills
山丘上的阴影
sketch the trees and the daffodils
描绘出树林与水仙花
catch the breeze and the winter chills
捕捉微风与冬天的冷冽
in colors on the snowy linen land.
用那雪地里亚麻般的色彩
And now I understand
如今我才明白
what you tried to say to me
你想说的是什么
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
你努力的想让它们得到解脱
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
Starry starry night
繁星点点的夜里
flaming flowers that brightly blaze
火红的花朵灿烂的燃烧着
swirling clouds in violet haze
漩涡似的云飘在紫罗兰色的雾里
reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
映照在文生湛蓝的眼瞳里
Colors changing hue
色彩变化万千
morning fields of amber grain
清晨的田园里琥珀色的农作物
weathered faces lined in pain
布满风霜的脸上罗列着痛苦
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
在艺术家怜爱的手下得到抚慰
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
你努力的想让它们得到解脱
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
因为当初他们无法爱你
but still your love was true
但你的爱依然真切
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
你像许多恋人一样 结束了自己的生命
But I could have told you Vincent
但愿我能告诉你 文森特
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
这个世界根本配不上一个美丽如你的人
Starry starry night
繁星点点的夜里
portraits hung in empty halls
一幅幅的肖像悬挂在空荡荡的大厅里
Frame less heads on nameless walls
无镶框的脸倚靠在不知名的墙上
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
配上一双看遍世事且永不遗忘的双眼
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
也像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
你努力的想让它们得到解脱
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……
扩展资料：
《Vincent》是一首民谣音乐，由美国歌手唐·麦克莱恩（Don Mclean）在1971年创作并演唱，他用这首歌来纪念荷兰著名印象派画家文森特·梵高（Vincent Willem van Gogh）。
这首歌的第一句“Starry starry night......”为人熟知，它描绘了梵高的著名作品《星月夜（The Starry Night）》。同时，歌词中还穿插描绘了梵高的其他画作。
唐·麦克莱恩（Don Mclean，又译：唐·马克林），1945年10月2日出生于美国纽约，是一名美国民谣摇滚歌手。
“我是个歌手，就这么简单 ─ 唱歌，找歌，写歌，录歌。糟糕的是，最近大家的焦点都放在音乐录像带上，而非歌曲本身。在这个领域里面，音乐的价值被贬低了。当然，棒棒糖也缩水了，政治人物也变笨了，什么地方都看得到代用品。不久以后，人们也不知道自己听的根本不是真材实料的音乐。”— Don McLean

上述译文我用在了我的长篇小说《蝶幻——命运的一千种可能》中（这首歌与小说的意境和气氛非常契合，几乎就是为这部小说订制的），豆瓣阅读、亚马逊（kindle）、京东、掌阅（iReader）、华为书城上搜索“蝶幻”或“角木蛟”可见，欢迎阅读点评！
除了Don McLean的原唱版本，我还喜欢Chloe Agnew版和王若琳版。
