双语美文：繁星点点

　　Vincent (Starry Starry Night)

　　文森特（繁星点点）

　　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 daffodils

　　catch the breeze and the winter chills

　　in colors on the snowy linen land

　　繁星点点的夜晚

　　你的画板上只调制了蓝与灰

　　用你那双看得见我灵魂污秽的眼睛

　　在炎夏之日向外望

　　山坡上的暗影

　　勾勒出树木与水仙的轮廓

　　用亚麻布般的苍茫雪地之色

　　去捕捉阵阵微风与严冬肃杀

　　Now I understand what you try 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 you now

　　现如今我才懂得你对我的诉说

　　你因睿智思索遭受了多大痛苦

　　你又是多想解放你的思想自由

　　他们不予理会

　　他们根本没法理会

　　也许他们现在才懂得

　　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

　　繁星点点的夜晚

　　绚烂如火怒放的鲜花

　　紫罗兰色迷雾中旋转着的云团

　　都投影在文森特青瓷般藏蓝的眼睛中

　　色彩变幻绽放，清晨琥珀色的稻田

　　苍老的脸庞镌刻着痛苦的皱纹

　　都在艺术家慈爱的`手下被抚慰

　　Now I understand what you try 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 you now

　　For they could not love you

　　but still your love was ture

　　现如今我才懂得你对我的诉说

　　你因睿智思索遭受了多大痛苦

　　你又是多想解放你的思想自由

　　他们不予理会

　　他们根本没法理会

　　也许他们现在才懂得

　　他们不可能爱你啊

　　但你的爱是真实的

　　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

　　当在繁星点点的夜空中

　　你的心中再无希望可存

　　你亲手奉上自己的生命

　　就像那些殉情爱人一样

　　但我想要告诉你文森特

　　这世上再无如你这般的美好

　　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 stranger that you've met

　　the ragged man in ragged cloth

　　The silver thorn in a bloody rose

　　lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow

　　繁星点点的夜晚

　　空荡的大厅里悬挂着肖像画

　　无名之墙上的无框头像

　　用那双一睹难忘的眼睛注视着世界

　　就像你与你擦肩而过的陌生人

　　那些衣衫褴褛的邋遢的人

　　银色荆棘映衬着的血色玫瑰

　　支离破碎地躺在初雪的大地上

　　Now I think I know what you try to say to me

　　that how you suffered for your sanity

　　and how you try to set them free

　　They would not listen they're not listening still

　　perhaps they never will

　　现如今我才懂得你对我的诉说

　　你因睿智思索遭受了多大痛苦

　　你又是多想解放你的思想自由

　　他们不予理会

　　他们仍然不予理会

　　或许他们永远不予理会

　　背景资料：

　　《Vincent》(starry starry night，繁星点点)是唐·麦克林（Don Mclean）欣赏了凡高的作品《星夜》之后激情创作的。这首歌的曲风同其它乡村民谣相比并无异质，还是那种散发着淡淡的幽香的小品文风格，它的过人之处在于它那发人深省的歌词上。Mclean 用他那诗人般的手笔向我们展示了一幅又一幅的优美画卷，同时也以他那天才般的敏锐洞悉出凡高内心的苦楚，表达了对这位天才画家的深深的理解与敬意。歌中Mclean 用极尽绚烂的词藻来描绘凡高的画，旨在表现凡高那灿若向日葵般的生命。
