Vincent》 詞曲：Don McLean
Starry, starry night
那夜繁星點點
Paint your palette blue and gray
你在畫板上塗抹著灰與藍
Look out on a summer’s day
夏日裡輕瞥一眼
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
便將我靈魂的陰霾洞穿
Shadows on the hills
暗影鋪滿群山
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
樹木與水仙花點綴其間
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
捕捉著微風與料峭冬寒
In colors on the snowy linen land
用雪原斑駁的色彩
Now I understand
我終於讀懂了
What you tried to say to me
你當時的肺腑之言
How you suffered for your sanity
獨醒於眾人間的你是那麼痛苦
How you tried to set them free
你多想解開被禁錮者的繫絆
They would not listen
可他們卻充耳不聞
They did not know how
對你視若不見
Perhaps they’ll listen now
也許，現在聽還為時不晚……
Starry, starry night
那夜繁星點點
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
鮮花盛放，火般絢爛
Swirling clouds in violet haze
紫幕輕垂，雲舒雲卷。
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue
都逃不過文森特湛藍的雙眼
Colors changing hue
色彩變化萬千
Morning fields of amber grain
清晨琥珀色的谷田
Weathered faces lined in pain
張張飽經風霜與苦痛的臉
Are smoothed beneath the artist’s Loving hand
在畫家筆下漸漸舒展
For they could not love you
他們根本不會在乎你
But still your love was true
你對他們的愛卻未曾改變
And when no hope was left inside
當最後一點希望都一去不返
On that starry, starry night
在那繁星點點的夜晚
You took your life
你憤然結束自己的生命
As lovers often do
如熱戀中盲目的人兒一般
But I could have told you, Vincent
文森特，我本該告訴你
This world was never meant for one
像你這樣美好的靈魂
As beautiful as you
本就不該來這骯髒的世間
Starry, starry night
那夜繁星點點
Portraits hung in empty halls
空曠的大廳裡畫作高懸
Frameless heads on nameless walls
無名的牆上無框的肖像
With eyes that watch the world
用注視整個世界的雙眼
And can’t forget
把一切刻在心田
Like the strangers that you’ve met
就像你曾遇見的匆匆過客
The ragged men in ragged clothes
從他穿的衣服就看出他的憤怒
A silver thorn on a bloody rose
有著銀刺的血紅玫瑰
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
都被壓碎躺在初冬的白雪上
最近在聽的是王若琳的版本
她的聲音真好聽
應該可以陪我渡過無數個趕報告的夜晚
像平靜心情的香氛蠟燭一樣
可以讓我文思泉湧
