Starry starry night 
paint your palette(調色盤) blue and grey 
look out on a summer's day 
with eyes that know the 
darkness in my soul. 
Shadows(影子) on the hills 
sketch(素描) the trees and the daffodils(水仙花) 
catch the breeze(微風) and the winter chills 
in colors on the snowy linen(內襯) land. 
And now I understand what you tried to say to me 
how you suffered(遭受) for your sanity(精神狀態) 
how you tried to set them free. 
They would not listen 
they did not know how 
perhaps(或許) they'll listen now. 
Starry starry night 
flaming(火焰) flowers that brightly blaze(熊熊燃燒) 
swirling(旋渦) clouds in violet(紫蘿蘭) haze(薄霧) reflect(反射) in 
Vincent's eyes of China blue. 
Colors changing hue (色調)
morning fields of amber(琥珀色) grain(穀物) 
weathered(受盡風霜) faces lined(刻線) in pain 
are soothed(平撫) beneath the artist's loving hand. 
And 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 don’t 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 (你取走你的性命)
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 heads on nameless walls 
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. 
Like the stranger that you've met 
the ragged(破爛) men in ragged(破爛) clothes 
the silver thorn(刺) of bloody(血紅) rose 
lie crushed(壓碎) and broken 
on the virgin(初次) snow. 
And 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 
list'ning still 
perhaps they never will.
