 Lyrics:And Music:Don Mclean

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 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 head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

Like the strangers that you've met,
All 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 , and
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...

  • 所以這首歌對你來說是....睡覺或失眠的時候最適合聽的歌囉

    唉...

    如果每次都把這首歌當睡前故事來聽的話...

    那我永遠也學不起來...

    不過這歌的作者據說是以梵谷的畫風為概念而譜出的...

    無名跟梵谷比較少聯絡...

    可能還是有點代溝吧...

  • 我喜歡這首歌

    我老是覺得英文歌裡面就是這首的歌詞最繞口...

    然後就學好久還學不會...

    因為每次想邊翻譯邊學單字然後再整句學起來...

    也就是聽一句就按一次暫停...

    等學會了再聽下一句...

    丫然後再慢慢整首都懂...

    可是每次都是聽了第一句就總是捨不得按暫停...

    丫然後就聽到睡著...
