Stary stary night
paint your palette blue and grey
look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
这句look out on a summer"sday是梵高的原话。是他在讲在SaintRemy疗养院的画作灵感时候说的,包括《星夜》,都是在疗养期间创作的。
Shadows on the hills
skerch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land.
skerch the trees and the daffodils里的the daffodils指的是《Bowl with Daffodils》
不过,也有人认为sketchthe trees指的是《Apricot Trees in Blossom》
And 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.
Stary stary night
flaming flowers that brightly blaze
swirling clouds in violet haze
reflect in Vincent's eyes of Chinablue
《flaming flowers》
Swirling clouds in violet haze:《stary night》或者《 WheatField with Cypresses》
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue:《Self-portrait》
Color's changing hue
morning field of amber grain
weathered faces lines in pain
are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand
morning field of amber grain:《Wheat field with Crows》
weathered faces lined in pain:《The Potato Eaters》
Like the stranger that you've met
the ragged man in ragged clothes
the silver thorn of bloody rose
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
这里面the ragged men in raggedclothes应该是指梵高画过的很多普通人,许多农夫,船员,矿工,孤儿等等。
Peasant BurningWeeds-夜幕降临,带着一点烟的火是唯一发亮的地方。傍晚,我一再去看这个场面。——梵高
And 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.
