Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)
Song by Don McLean
Performed by Julio Iglesias


Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
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.

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 field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

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.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took you 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 head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the 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 would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will..........
 


 

Hero
by Enrique Iglesias


(Whispered) Let me be your hero


Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me cry?
And would you save my soul, tonight?


Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.


I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.


Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie? would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight.


I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.


Oh, I just want to hold you.
I just want to hold you.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here tonight.


I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.


I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.
I can be your hero.

Julio, the king of romance song! Glad you like it.
edrifter 回複 悄悄話 回複蘇鄉門地的評論:

I figured you would choose Julio over the son for his enchanting voice, and (probably) the looking too. :-)

No doubt, beside the great affinity in vocalism between the father and the son, there is a tinge of sadness and unsettledness in Enrique’s voice, which is a sharp contrast with Julio’s sunny and untrammeled style. Maybe this is due to Enrique’s childhood experience when he was raised in a single parent family. Alright, enough celebrity gossip for today!
edrifter 回複 悄悄話 回複melly的評論:

That’s a perfect match in translation: Like father, like son = 有其父必有其子.
旁白 回複 悄悄話 喜歡這兩首歌! 這兒總是那麽浪漫啊。。。

Have a great week!

Also I love melly's 紅唇 too! :-)
蘇鄉門地 回複 悄悄話

melly 回複 悄悄話 Yes, like father like son.
