许多时候，当我们听一首歌时常常忽略了歌词的意思。就如这首《Starry, starry night》，一首很熟悉的吉他弹唱，最初还以为是美国的一首乡村民谣。后来无意在Youtube 上看见 ，这实际是在唱凡高和他的作品。里面的歌词把凡高的一生忧伤地吟唱出来。现在把此歌的歌词（中英对照）抄录一下，分享给大家，在联系这些画面和音乐，也许能理解并记住凡高一生的悲伤。

Starry, starry night  繁星點點的夜裡

Paint your palette blue and gray  調色盤上只有藍與灰

Look out on a summer’s day  在夏日裡出外探訪

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul  用你那洞悉我靈魂幽暗處的雙眼

Shadows on the hills  山丘上的陰影

Sketch the trees and daffodils  描繪出樹與水仙花

Catch the breeze and the winter chills  捕捉微風與冬天的冷冽

In colors on the snowy linen land  用那如雪地裡亞麻般的色彩
Now I understand what you tried to say to me  如今我才明白，你想說的是什麼

How you suffered for your sanity  當你清醒時你有多麼痛苦

How you tried to set them free  你努力的想讓它們得到解脫

They would not listen, they did not know how  但他們卻不理會，也不知該如何做

Perhaps, they’ll listen now  也許，今後他們將會明瞭

Starry, starry night  繁星點點的夜裡

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze  火紅的花朵燦爛的燃燒著

Swirling clouds in violet haze  漩渦似的雲飄在紫羅蘭色的霧裡

Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue  映照在文生湛藍的眼瞳裡

Colors changing hue  色彩變化萬千

Morning fields of amber grain  清晨的田園裡琥珀色的農作物

Weathered faces lined in pain  佈滿風霜的臉羅列著痛苦

Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand  在藝術家憐愛的手下得到撫慰
Now I understand what you tried to say to me  如今我才明白，你想說的是什麼

How you suffered for your sanity  當你清醒時你有多麼痛苦

And how you tried to set them free  你努力的想讓它們得到解脫

They would not listen, they did not know how  但他們卻不理會，也不知該怎麼做

Perhaps, they’ll listen now  也許，現在他們知道了

For they could not love you  因為當初他們無法愛你

And still your love was true  但你的愛依然真實

And when no hope was left inside  當燦爛的星空裡

on that starry, starry night  不存一絲希望

You took your life as lovers often do  你像許多戀人一樣，結束了自己的生命

But I could have told you, Vincent  但願我能告訴你，文生

This world was never meant

for one as beautiful as you  這個世界根本配不上一個美好如你的人

Starry, starry night  繁星點點的夜裡

Portraits hung in empty hall  一幅幅的肖像懸掛在空盪盪的大廳裡

Frameless heads on nameless walls  無鑲框的臉倚靠在寂然的牆上

With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget  配上一雙看遍世事且永不遺忘的雙眼

Like the strangers that you’ve met  就像你曾遇見的陌生人

The ragged man in ragged clothes  那些衣衫襤褸的人們

The silver thorn of bloody rose  也像血紅的玫瑰上銀色的刺

Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow  斷裂並靜臥在初下的雪上
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me  我想我已明白，你想說的是什麼

How you suffered for your sanity  當你清醒時你有多麼痛苦

Then how you tried to set them free  你努力的想讓它們得到解脫

They would not listen, they’re not listening still  但他們卻不理會，現在依然如此

Perhaps, they never will…  也許，他們永遠不會…….
