【一起民搖滾】 【民謠】致敬梵高的一首英文歌 Vincent

 

Vincent

Don McLean

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
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
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

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 fields 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 inside
On that starry, starry night

You took your 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 heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in 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

 

拿出壯士斷腕的決心，非禮勿聽地臥薪嚐膽整整一個星期， 終於忙完了一個壓在心頭肩頭一個大作業， 都不敢相信I did it! 拍拍自己的肩， 來上歌壇 給自己一個犒賞，。 錯過了民謠搖滾電光石火的碰撞的暖場， 就好好地唱三首民謠， 慢慢地品味錯過的精彩。這首歌像說話， 是妥妥的民謠吧！ 是有一次聽Josh Groban 的專輯時發現的， 才知道原唱是Don McLean。 這首歌的作者堪稱梵高知音！
