Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
用那渗透我灵魂的黑暗的双眼
Shadows on the hills
山丘上的阴影
Sketch the trees and daffodils
描绘树木与水仙花
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
捕捉微风与冬日的寒意
In colors on the snowy linen land
在白雪般的亚麻布上

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
我现在懂得了你想要对我说的话
How you suffered for your sanity
你是如此为清醒而痛苦
How you tried to set them free
你是如此想要将痛苦释放
They would not listen' they did not know how
但他们不会倾听你 无法懂得你
Perhaps' they'll listen now
也许他们现在会倾听你了

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
饱经摧残的面容
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now I understand what you tried to say to me
我现在懂得了你想要对我说的话
How you suffered for your sanity
你是如此为清醒而痛苦
And how you tried to set them free
你是如此想要将痛苦释放
They would not listen' they did not know how
但他们不会倾听你 无法懂得你
Perhaps' they'll listen now
也许他们现在会倾听你了
For they could not love you
他们不曾爱你
And still your love was true
但你的爱却依旧热忱
And when no hope was left inside on that starry' starry night
在没有希望残存的繁星之夜
You took your life as lovers often do
你如殉情般带走自己的生命
But I could have told you' Vincent

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
世界并非如你一般斑斓

Starry' starry night
繁星之夜
Portraits hung in empty hall
肖像挂在空荡荡的大厅里
Frameless heads on nameless walls
无名的墙上挂着没有边框的头像
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
那观察世间难以忘怀的双眼
Like the strangers that you've met
就像你遇到的陌生人一样
The ragged man in ragged clothes
衣衫褴褛的沧桑男人
The silver thorn of bloody rose
血色玫瑰的银色的刺
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
谎言瓦解破碎于初雪

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
我现在懂得了你想要对我说的话
How you suffered for your sanity
你是如此为清醒而痛苦
Then how you tried to set them free
你是如此想要将痛苦释放
They would not listen' they're not listening still
也许他们仍然不懂得倾听你
Perhaps' they never will..
