VIncent （Stary Stary Night）

Vincent(Stary Stary Night)
By Don McLean

Starry, starry night
　　Paint your palette blue and gray
　　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 fields of amber grain
　　Weathered faces lined in pain
　　Are smoothed 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 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 heads on nameless walls
　　With eyes that watch the world
　　And can't forget
　　Like the strangers that you've met

The ragged men in 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 will not listen
They're not listening still
　 Perhaps, they never will

This is an old song.It was wrote written in 1971.__The singer finished it after reading a biography of Van Gogh.__The melody has is a little sad.__Listening to the song, The singer take me I was transported into the emotion of how to the heart of Van Gogh had suffered.  and make us feel the hot emotion.__I share the lyrics with you.__I hope that you will enjoy to listen this song,to feel the emotion from history.

I am share the translation in Chinese lyrics too._Hope you like it.

熱情 literally means "hot emotion" does not have any meaning in English.  The closest one is "hot passion" which is 慾情 in Chinese.  Totally different in meaning.  熱情 = fervor, enthusiastic, zeal or warmth.
