Vincent



　　一直很喜歡這首歌，覺得很舒服，很輕揚、溫柔，就像沐浴在春風，輕鬆甜美。

　　前幾天，在電視MV中聽到了另一種版本，不同的詮釋，讓我不禁停駐，緊緊地跟著歌詞，看著那一句句哀傷的詞語...王若琳版本的多了許多滄桑、深沉低語的感覺，看著歌詞，想起梵谷癲狂寥落的短暫生命，原來，這是獻給梵谷(Vincent van Gogh) 的詩......

　　瘋子與天才僅在一線間，卻同時存在于梵谷的血液中，一生孤寂卻有著熱情奔放的血液奔流心神，抑鬱縈繞他的生活，雙手是空的，現實是無法改變，而星空、艷陽、四季的田野、困窘的人民卻活在自己的週遭，我想，梵谷想畫的、表達的，就是生命吧？自己所感受到的生命。

Starry,starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
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
Reflecting 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 hands
Now Iunderstand
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 Icould have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as
beautiful as you
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 strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
Asilver thorn on a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now Ithink Iknow
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

Vincent
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……
