Vincent (starry starry night)- dana winner
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,
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 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,
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.
《Vincent》 (starry starry night繁星点点)是Don·Mclean欣赏了凡高的作品《星空》之后激情创作的。这首歌的曲风同其它乡村民谣相比并无异质,还是那种散发着淡淡的幽香的小品文风格,它的过人之处在于它那发人深省的歌词上。Mclean 用他那诗人般的手笔向我们展示了一幅又一幅的优美画卷,同时也以他那天才般的敏锐洞悉出凡高内心的苦楚,表达了对这位天才画家的深深的理解与敬意。歌中 Mclean 用极尽绚烂的词藻来描绘凡高的画,旨在表现凡高那灿若向日葵般的生命。当凡高躺在弟弟提奥德怀里静静地离开这个世界上时,他才37岁。天才的生命总是异常的短暂,但却绚烂若夏花。凡高以如火的热情畅游于艺术的海洋,虽然周遭充满了鄙夷与曲解,虽然他时常被饥饿与寒冷折磨,但是他那永不枯竭的创作灵感从来没有被不公的命运所扼杀。他以惊人的创作力为世界艺术宝库留下了一笔巨大的财富。然而,天才不是神人,他同凡人一样,他也会彷徨,也有脆弱的时候。所以, Mclean又以朴实无华的语言来倾诉凡高内心的痛苦,以象“when there is no hope left inside on that starry starry night,you took your life as lovers often do.”这样凄婉的语句来暗示凡高的自杀。
从这首歌中,我们不难体会到一种英雄惜英雄的情感。Mclean 是一位才华横溢的民谣歌手,但是他的星途却充满坎坷,他总是被美国的主流音乐排斥在外。他曾经沦落到街头唱歌的地步,这不失为一种悲哀。其实整首歌也是 Mclean在向世人诉说自己的苦痛,他以极为柔和的歌调折射出满腔的哀怨。但我想说的是,因为天才总是被世俗所曲解,所以能洞悉天才内心的人本身就是天才,让我们向凡高和Mclean这两位天才致敬!!
这首名叫Vincent(文森特)的歌可算是美国民谣音乐中的经典。它的演唱者是著名民谣歌手Don Mclean,他用这首感人的歌献给这位“疯子”凡高,在感动其本人的同时,也感动了全世界热爱生活、心存希望的人们...在荷兰阿姆斯特丹的凡高纪念馆前,人们总能听到这首歌,它一遍一遍地放着,永远让人感动,让人怀念……
星与星的夜晚 给你的画板抹上蓝灰的油彩。
在某个夏日里向外张望的 不正是你那双能看透我灵魂的眼睛?
是颜色的幻化,在雪白的亚麻布上,
在山与山的影子里,勾勒树林与水仙花的美貌,
捕捉春天的风和冬天的冷。
我终于知道了 你到底要告诉我些什么
你在清醒的时候是怎样受着折磨,你又是怎样的想带给他们解脱。
但他们不会听、也不会懂,不过,总会有人听、有人懂吧?
星与星的夜晚 花儿的盛开如火焰的燃烧;
舒卷的云朵是紫罗兰色的 映入文森特青青的瞳孔。
色彩变幻,清晨田野里琥珀一样的稻穗
和远处那些被风雨剥蚀的脸孔 在文森特爱心的手底 得到解脱。
我终于知道了 你到底要告诉我些什么
你在清醒的时候是怎样受着折磨,你又是怎样地想带给他们解脱。
但他们不会听、也不会懂,不过,总会有人听、有人懂吧?
他们永不会爱你的,永不会宽容你的不羁,
尽管如此,你仍爱着他们,仍爱得那么真挚。
当最后的希望终于逃离了 那个星与星的夜晚,
你也像恋人们常做的那样 结束了自己的生命。
可我无法告诉你啊,文森特,
你这般美丽的生命是不该属于这个世界的。
星与星的夜晚,空荡荡的大厅里是多年后的展出,
你那曾是无名的自画像就悬在一面无名的墙上。
你的眼睛 依然关切着这个世界,无法忘却
你曾遇到的每一个陌生人,那些衣衫褴缕的过客啊
于是,血色的玫瑰,茎上银白的利刺
折断了,在初雪的大地上被碾成尘埃……
我终于知道了 你到底要告诉我些什么
你在清醒的时候是怎样受着折磨,你又是怎样的想带给他们解脱。
这些话, 他们却没有听,他们也没有在听.也许,他们永远都不会听。
