歌手：Ellie Goulding

作曲: Don McLean

作词: Don McLean

Vincent Willem van Gogh这个名字早就被每个人所熟悉了，但每次看到星空总是有新的感触…不想这么美的曲子，却要挂上“情人节”的名号。 “每个人心里都有一团火，路过的人只看到烟。”-背景的吉他声，把懒羊羊的版本衬托得更像是一个小姐姐在把一个美轮美奂的故事向你娓娓道来，又像唱安眠曲♡和原版各有千秋。

Starry, starry night

繁星缀满的夜里

Paint your palette blue and grey

让那调色盘里的蓝与灰点点辉映

Look out on a summer's day

你望着夏日的白昼

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

用那能够看穿我灵魂深处黑暗的双眼

Shadows on the hills

山丘上的阴影

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

勾勒出树林与水仙花的轮廓

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

捕捉着微风与冬日的凛冽

In colors on the snowy linen land

在那雪白的亚麻画布之上

Now I understand

如今我才恍然

What you tried to say to me

那些你想要告诉我的话语

And how you suffered for your sanity

你是如何为你的清醒备受煎熬

And how you tried to set them free

你是多么想让它们解脱

They would not listen, they did not know how

但它们不会倾听也不懂如何解脱

Perhaps they'll listen now

也许现在他们在听着呢

Starry, starry night

繁星缀满的夜里

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

火红的花朵耀眼燃烧着

Swirling clouds in a violet haze

涡流的云朵隐在紫罗兰色的霾里

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

倒映在梵高瓷蓝的眼里

Colors changing hue

色彩变化无常

Morning fields of amber grain

清晨琥珀色的田野

Weathered faces lined in pain

刻满痛苦饱经风霜的脸庞

Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

在梵高爱意的手下得到抚慰

Now I understand

如今我才恍然

What you tried to say to me

那些你想要告诉我的话语

How you suffered for your sanity

你是如何为你的清醒备受煎熬

How you tried to set them free

你是多么想让它们解脱

They would not listen, they did not know how

但它们不会倾听也不懂如何解脱

Perhaps they'll listen now

也许现在他们在听着呢

For they could not love you

因为它们永远不会爱你

But still your love was true

但你的爱却如此真实

And when no hope was left in sight

当眼下已没有希望的气息

On that starry, starry night

在这繁星缀满的夜里

You took your life, as lovers often do

你像恋人摆脱苦恋那般了结了余生

But I could've told you, Vincent

但我要这样告诉你梵高啊

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

这个世界永远不是为你这样美好的人而生

Starry, starry night

繁星缀满的夜里

Portraits hung in empty halls

肖像挂在空荡的大堂

Frameless heads on nameless walls

无框的头像和无名的墙壁

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

一双双眼睛难以忘怀地凝望着世间

Like the strangers that you've met

像你遇到的那些陌生人

The ragged men in ragged clothes

参差的灵魂和褴褛衣衫

The silver thorn on the bloody rose

血色玫瑰的银刺

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

正破碎躺在这处子般洁白的雪地上

Now I think I know

现在我觉得我懂了

What you tried to say to me

那些你想要告诉我的话语

And how you suffered for your sanity

你是如何为你的清醒备受煎熬

And how you tried to set them free

你是多么想让它们解脱

They would not listen, they're not listening still

他们不会倾听现在也不会倾听

Perhaps they never will

或许永远也不会
