Starry starry night

繁星點點的夜晚

paint your palette blue and grey

在你畫板上塗抹了藍和灰的油彩

look out on a summer's day

在某個夏日裏，你向外張望

with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

雙眸似可看穿我的靈魂

Shadows on the hills

你變幻山巒間的陰影

sketch the trees and the daffodils

勾勒樹林與水仙花

catch the breeze and the winter chills

捕捉拂面清風和冬日寒冷

in colors on the snowy linen land.

色彩幻化在雪白亞麻畫布上

And now I understand

現在我終於知道

what you tried to say to me

你想對我傾訴什麼

and how you suffered for your sanity

眾醉獨醒，你有多麼痛苦

and how you tried to set them free.

眾生愚愚，你有多想讓他們自由

They would not listen they did not know how

但那時他們不聽，更不懂

perhaps they'll listen now.

也許，此時的他們想聽了

Starry starry night

繁星點點的夜晚

flaming flowers that brightly blaze

殷紅的花兒，恍若燃燒的火焰

swirling clouds in violet haze

雲捲雲舒，籠罩着薄薄紫煙

reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.

映在文森特湛藍色的雙眸

Colors changing hue

色彩幻化萬千

morning fields of amber grain

黎明的田野，琥珀色的麥穗

weathered faces lined in pain

和那飽受風霜的臉

are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

在文森特手中緩緩流出

And now I understand

現在我終於知道

what you tried to say to me

你想對我傾訴什麼

and how you suffered for your sanity

眾醉獨醒，你有多麼痛苦

and how you tried to set them free.

眾生愚愚，你有多想讓他們自由

They would not listen they did not know how

但那時他們不聽，更不懂

perhaps they'll listen now.

也許，此時的他們想聽了

For they could not love you

儘管他們不曾愛過你

but still your love was true

但是你依然真情切切

and when no hope was left in sight on that

但當希望日漸消逝，終究不敵歲月

starry starry night.

在一個同樣繁星點點的夜晚

You took your life as lovers often do,

你決定結束自己的生命，就像其他熱戀着的人經常做的那樣

But I could have told you Vincent

假如我在，文森特，我會對你説

this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

俗世紅塵，命中註定不可能擁有，你這般美好的人兒

Starry starry night

繁星點點的夜晚

portraits hung in empty halls

你的自畫像，掛在一個個空蕩的展廳中

frameless heads on nameless walls

無框的頭像，懸在一面面不知名的牆上

with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

懇懇的雙眸注視着這世界，令人無法忘卻

Like the stranger that you've met

如你曾經際遇過的每個陌生人

the ragged men in ragged clothes

那些失魂的看客 掙扎在襤褸衣衫裏

the silver thorn of bloody rose

血色玫瑰上銀色荊棘的刺

lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

被摧折粉碎，化作塵埃飄向初雪的大地……

And now I think I know

現在我終於知道

what you tried to say to me

你想對我傾訴什麼

and how you suffered for your sanity

眾醉獨醒，你有多麼痛苦

and how you tried to set them free.

眾生愚愚，你有多想讓他們自由

They would not listen they're not listening still

但那時他們不聽，現在仍不得悟

perhaps they never will.

也許，他們永遠不會
