《Starry Night》是由美国歌手Don McLean制作演唱的歌曲，收录于专辑《American Pie》。
歌曲
《Vincent》(starry starry night)这首歌很有渊源，初是美国民谣歌手Don McLean为纪念荷兰的伟大画家文森特.
梵高而作，收录在那张为其赢来巨大声誉的专辑《American Pie》里，歌曲创作的灵感来自梵高的一幅著名的画作《Starry Night》（星夜），旋律流畅得浑如天成，词作也是如画般的唯美，让人想起德国小说家施笃姆的诗意小说中大段大段描写的空蒙月色，整首曲子的配器就是一把木吉他，极致的简约之美!! 据说这首《Vincent》在荷兰的梵谷纪念馆中，长年不断的播放着，以陪伴梵高和他不朽的画作。
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.
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,
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.
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.
For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left inside
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,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
All 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...
星夜
唐·麦克林
星夜下
调色板上只有蓝与灰
你用那透视我灵魂深处的双眼
望向夏日的天空
山上的阴影衬托出树和水仙的轮廓
用雪地斑驳的色彩
捕捉微风和冬日的寒冷
如今我才明白你想对我说些什么
你清醒的时候承受了多大的痛苦
你努力想让他们得到解脱
他们却不予理会
他们也不知道如何面对
也许此刻他们会知道
星夜下艳丽的花朵燃烧般的怒放
云朵在紫色的雾霭之中旋绕
印在Vincent蓝色的瞳孔之中
色彩变化万千清晨琥珀色的田野
饱经风霜的脸上写着痛苦
在艺术家灵性的手上得到真实的再现
如今我才明白你想对我说些什么
你清醒的时候承受了多大的痛苦
你努力想让他们得到解脱
他们却不予理会
他们也不知道如何面对
因为他们不能爱你
但你的爱依然真实存在
星夜下
当心中再没有一丝希望
你像热恋的人儿般结束了自己的生命
但我希望曾经告诉你Vincent
这个世界无人曾像你那样美好
星夜下
空荡荡的大厅里挂着你的画像
无名的墙上挂着没有边框的头像
他们看着这世界无法忘记
就像你曾经遇到的陌生人
衣衫褴褛面带嘲讽的人
血红的玫瑰银色的刺
破碎在洁白的雪地上
此刻我想我明白你想对我说些什么了
你曾为你的清醒承受了多大的痛苦
你努力想让他们得到解脱
他们却不予理会
他们也不知道如何面对
或许他们永远都不会知道
