读了梵高的文字,让人忧伤和感动。做一期梵高的特辑,希望能有更多人熟知,更多人喜欢。

《Vincent》是一首民谣音乐,由美国歌手唐·麦克莱恩(Don Mclean)在1971年创作并演唱,他用这首歌来纪念荷兰著名印象派画家文森特·梵高(Vincent Willem van Gogh)。

这首歌的第一句“Starry starry night......”它描绘了梵高的著名作品《星夜(The Starry Night)》。同时,歌词中还穿插描绘了梵高的其他画作。

唐·麦克莱恩在1971年阅读了梵高的传记后创作了这首作品,次年便成为了英国单曲榜的冠军和美国单曲排行榜的第2名。



《Vincent》歌词:

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.

繁星點點的夜空,

在你的調色盤上塗藍抹灰

有如眼睛從心靈幽暗深處望穿夏日。

山丘上的陰影,

以織布般雪地的顏色

描畫冷風吹拂下的樹林與水仙

And 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.

而今

我聽到了你的傾吐

如何承擔受困的心靈

又如何將其釋放。

他們過去不曾,也不知如何聆聽

或許如今他們已經學會

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 sooth beneath the artist's loving hand.

星光闪闪的夜空

闪如焰火的火紅花丛

在紫雾中涡旋的云

映在文森特那中国蓝的雙眸中。

幻化的色彩

琥珀色的晨曦稻田

风蚀后留下痛苦线条的面颊

在画者温爱的手下被抚慰着

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.

而今

我聽到了你的傾吐

如何承擔受困的心靈

又如何將其釋放。

他們過去不曾,也不知如何聆聽

或許如今他們已經學會

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.

他們不曾愛你

而你的愛卻始終真確

當星夜下心中不再存有希冀

你結束了自己的生命

正如戀人為愛殉情

或許我應該告訴你,文森

這個世界與如此美麗的你無可匹配

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 men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloody rose

lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

繁星點點的夜空

畫像懸在空蕩大廳

牆上沒有邊框的無名頭像

眼眸望向世界而無法忘懷

像曾偶遇的陌生人

衣衫襤褸淪落天涯

血紅玫瑰帶著銀色棘刺

在初雪下凋落破碎

And now I think I know

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're not listening still

perhaps they never will.

而今

我聽到了你的傾吐

如何承擔受困的心靈

又如何將其釋放。

他們過去不曾,也不知如何聆聽

或許,將來永遠也不會吧
