Starry Starry Night...


不知道你们是否听过这首歌呢?我以前就听过了但是不知道它的来源。。原来它的意义是那么的感人的。。。又要夸我的钢琴老师咯。。呵呵。。他呀。。是我理想中的超级绝种的好男人。。如果他还没结婚,我一定会尽力把他抢到手的!!哈哈哈。。好啦,就开始讲故事咯。。
这首歌呢,是为一位画家名叫Vincent van Gogh。他是第一位凭幻想画画的画家哦!但是很可惜的,他天生有耳鸣也有些精神病,所以导致他最后自杀生亡了。艺术家呢,都有一定的脾气的。。这位画家因为不能忍受自己的耳鸣而把自己的两只耳朵割下来。他的耳朵现在埋在Amsterdam的一间村庄内,就和它的尸体埋在一起。这首歌的歌名就是以他其中最出名的作品为主。我放的这张画就是我在说的这首歌的主题了。

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.

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.

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,
(这是因为以前的画家都是在街头卖画为生的。没人会欣赏他地画一直到20世纪。)
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...

The words I love the most is: this world was never meant for someone as beautiful as you...
