Starry, starry night

繁星點點的夜里

paint your palette blue and grey

畫出你調(diào)色盤里的藍與灰

look out on a summer's day

在夏日里出外探訪

with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

用你那洞悉我靈魂幽暗處的雙眼

Shadows on the hills

山丘上的陰影

sketch the trees and the daffodils

描繪出樹林與水仙花

catch the breeze and the winter chills

捕捉微風與冬天的冷冽

in colors on the snowy linen land.

用那雪地里亞麻般的色彩

And now I understand

如今我才明白

what you tried to say to me

你想說的是什么

and how you suffered for your sanity

當你清醒時你有多么痛苦

and how you tried to set them free.

你努力的想讓它們得到解脫

They would not listen they did not know how

但人們卻不理會，也不知該怎么做

perhaps they'll listen now.

也許，人們將學會傾聽

Starry starry night

繁星點點的夜里

flaming flowers that brightly blaze

火紅的花朵燦爛的燃燒著

swirling clouds in violet haze

漩渦似的云飄在紫羅蘭色的霧里

reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.

映照在文生湛藍的眼瞳里

Colors changing hue

色彩變化萬千

morning fields of amber grain

清晨的田園里琥珀色的農(nóng)作物

weathered faces lined in pain

布滿風霜的臉上羅列著痛苦

are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

在藝術家憐愛的手下得到撫慰

And now I understand

如今我才明白

what you tried to say to me

你想說的是什么

and how you suffered for your sanity

當你清醒時你有多么痛苦

and how you tried to set them free.

你努力的想讓它們得到解脫

They would not listen they did not know how

但人們卻不理會，也不知該怎么做

perhaps they'll listen now.

也許，人們將學會傾聽

For they could not love you

因為當初他們無法愛你

but still your love was true

但你的愛依然真切

and when no hope was left in sight on that

當燦爛的星空里

starry starry night.

不存一絲希望

You took your life as lovers often do,

你像許多戀人一樣，結(jié)束了自己的生命

But I could have told you Vincent

但愿我能告訴你，文森特

this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

這個世界根本配不上一個美麗如你的人

Starry starry night

繁星點點的夜里

portraits hung in empty halls

一幅幅的肖像懸掛在空蕩蕩的大廳里

frameless heads on nameless walls

無鑲框的臉倚靠在不知名的墻上

with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

配上一雙看遍世事且永不遺忘的雙眼

Like the stranger that you've met

就像你曾遇見的陌生人

the ragged men in ragged clothes

那些衣衫襤褸的人們

the silver thorn of bloddy rose

也像血紅的玫瑰上銀色的刺

lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

斷裂并靜臥在初下的雪上

And now I think I know

我想我已明白

what you tried to say to me

你想說的是什么

and how you suffered for your sanity

當你清醒時你有多么痛苦

and how you tried to set them free.

你努力的想讓它們得到解脫

They would not listen they're not listening still

但人們卻不理會，現(xiàn)在依然如此

perhaps they never will.

也許，他們永遠不會……

美國派? American Pie

（Don McLean的代表曲）

Don Mclean，美國紐約民謠搖滾歌手。他的歌曲中，以美國派和Vincent最為著名。

“我是個歌手，就這么簡單 ─ 唱歌，找歌，寫歌，錄歌。糟糕的是，最近大家的焦點都放在音樂錄像帶上，而非歌曲本身。在這個領域里面，音樂的價值被貶低了。當然，棒棒糖也縮水了，政治人物也變笨了，什么地方都看得到代用品。不久以后，人們也不知道自己聽的根本不是真材實料的音樂?！薄獙λ?，音樂尚未死去。他在全世界贏得十二張金唱片單曲、專輯則有二十五張金唱片、十張白金唱片，舉行過十次世界巡回演唱會，擁有一大堆經(jīng)常被人翻唱的名曲，即使如此，一聊起自己的音樂，他仍然充滿熱情。

1971年，一直默默無聞的美國民謠歌手Don McLean（唐·麥克林）在靈感泉涌中寫下了一首超長的歌曲《American Pie》（美國派），不僅使他一夜成名，而且把他和他的這首作品一直流傳到了21世紀的今天。1977年，張國榮拿這首歌參加了亞洲歌唱大賽，由于比賽時間的限制，哥哥Leslie在1977年的比賽中唱了一5分鐘左右版本的American pie，成為亞軍，并以對黎小田說唱一半歌曲會使歌“make no sense（沒有感覺，失去了原汁原味）”，使黎小田對他刮目相待。以此，奠定了Leslie進軍歌壇的基礎和信心。

而后來，麥當娜也曾經(jīng)唱過一個4分鐘版本的Ameircan pie。

Leslie曾經(jīng)在他的熱情演唱會上說過：說到American pie，年長一些的朋友會說這是Don McLean（唐·麥克林）的American pie。而年輕一些的朋友呢，會說這是麥當娜的American pie。但是說呢，在中間的朋友（中年人，那些伴隨哥哥成長的人，一直聽他的歌并支持他的人）會說，這當然是張國榮的American pie！

附：《American Pie》歌詞

A long, long time ago,I can still remember我依舊銘記那段舊時光

How that music used to make me smile音樂總是讓我莞爾微笑

And I knew if I had my chance 而我明白 如果我有機會

That I could make those people dance 能讓那些人翩翩起舞

And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while. 他們也許會開心一陣子

But February made me shiver with every paper I’d deliver. 但我在二月送出的每份報紙都令我不寒而栗

Bad news on the doorstep噩耗就躺在門階上

I couldn’t take one more step. 我的腿像灌鉛了一樣

I can’t remember if I cried 我忘記我是否流下了眼淚

When I read about his widowed bride 當我得知他遺孀的消息

but something touched me deep inside 但有些事卻深深觸動了我

the day the music died. 那日，音樂已死

So bye-bye, miss American pie.那么，再見吧，美國派小姐

Drove my Chevy to the levee開著我的雪弗蘭到了碼頭

But the levee was dry.可惜碼頭早已干涸

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye 那些老男孩們喝著黑麥威士忌

Singing, this’ll be the day that I die唱著“有朝一日我終將死去”

this’ll be the day that I die 有朝一日我終將死去

Did you write the book of love“愛之書”是你寫的嗎？

And do you have faith in God above if the Bible tells you so?如果圣經(jīng)告訴你這些，你會信仰上帝嗎？

Do you believe in rock n roll, 你還相信搖滾嗎？

Can music save your mortal soul?音樂能否拯救你那終將逝去的靈魂？

and can you teach me how to dance real slow? 你能教我如何慢舞嗎？

Well, I know that you’re in love with him好吧，我知道你已經(jīng)愛上了他

`cause I saw you dancing in the gym因為我看到你們在健身房里翩翩起舞

You both kicked off your shoes舞到你們雙雙踢掉了鞋子

Man, I dig those rhythm and blues兄弟，我終于弄清了R & B

I was a lonely teenage broncing buck我曾是個孤單的少年

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck拿著粉色康乃馨，駕著皮卡車

But I knew I was out of luck 但我知道我不夠幸運

The day the music died那日，音樂已死

I started singing 我開始吟唱

Bye-bye, miss American pie.再見吧，美國派小姐

Drove my Chevy to the levee開著我的雪弗蘭到了碼頭

But the levee was dry.可惜碼頭早已干涸

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye 那些老男孩們喝著黑麥威士忌

Singing, this’ll be the day that I die唱著“有朝一日我終將死去”

Now for ten years we’ve been on our own十年后的如今卻屬于我們

And moss grows fat on a Rollin stone滾石上長滿了苔蘚

But that’s not how it used to be但卻早已不是當初的模樣

When the jester sang for the king and queen當那個宮廷小丑向國王與王后獻唱時

In a coat he borrowed from James dean他穿著詹姆士迪恩的外套

And a voice that came from you and me聲音卻來自你與我

Oh, and while the king was looking down , 當國王頷首之時

The jester stole his thorny crown宮廷小丑竊走了那多刺的王冠

The courtroom was adjourned 審判被延期

No verdict was returned. 判決遲遲未下

And while Lennon read a book of Marx 當列儂研讀馬克思時

The quartet practiced in the park 四重奏在公園里上演了

And we sang dirges in the dark我們卻在黑暗中唱起了挽歌

The day the music died那日，音樂已死

We were singing 我們開始吟唱

Bye-bye, miss American pie.再見吧，美國派小姐

Drove my Chevy to the levee開著我的雪弗蘭到了碼頭

But the levee was dry.但碼頭早已干涸

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye 那些老男孩們喝著黑麥威士忌

Singing, this’ll be the day that I die唱著“有朝一日我終將死去”

Helter skelter in a summer swelter 炎熱的夏日暴動不斷

The birds(Byrds) flew off with a fallout shelter鳥兒從破巢中飛走

Eight miles high and falling fast八英里高卻急速墜下

It landed foul on the grass 最終落在污穢的草上。

The players tried for a forward pass球員們嘗試著前進傳球

With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.場邊坐著受傷的宮廷小丑

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume 中場休息時的空氣卻是甜美的香

While the sergeants played a marching tune 當中士吹響行軍的號角

We all got up to dance我們都起來舞蹈

Oh, but we never got the chance!但我們卻再無機會了

`cause the players tried to take the field因為球員馬上就要上場

The marching band refused to yield軍樂隊拒絕投降

Do you recall what was revealed這時你是否想起了什么？

The day the music died那日，音樂已死

We started singing 我們開始吟唱

Bye-bye, miss American pie.再見吧，美國派小姐

Drove my Chevy to the levee開著我的雪弗蘭到了碼頭

But the levee was dry.可惜碼頭早已干涸

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye 那些老男孩們喝著黑麥威士忌

Singing, this’ll be the day that I die唱著“有朝一日我終將死去”

this’ll be the day that I die 有朝一日我終將死去

This’ll be the day that I die有朝一日我終將死去

Oh, and there we were all in one place我們曾經(jīng)聚在一起

A generation lost in space迷失的一代

With no time left to start again 但沒有時間重來了

So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick所以，加油??！杰克，快一點，再快一點

Jack Flash sat on a candlestick聰明機靈的杰克坐在蠟燭上

Cause fire is the devils only friend.因為火焰才是惡魔最好的朋友

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage 當我看著舞臺上的他時

My hands were clenched in fists of rage我的雙臂卻被憤怒的手緊緊抓住

No angel born in hell地獄里生出的天使

Could break that Satan spell.怎能破解魔鬼的咒語

And as the flames climbed high into the night 火焰升入夜空

To light the sacrificial rite 照亮了整個祭禮

I saw Satan laughing with delight 我看見撒旦得意的笑了

The day the music died 那日，音樂已死

He was singing 他吟唱著

Drove my Chevy to the levee開著我的雪弗蘭到了碼頭

But the levee was dry.可惜碼頭早已干涸

Singing, this’ll be the day that I die唱著“有朝一日我終將死去”

this’ll be the day that I die 有朝一日我終將死去

I met a girl who sang the blues 我遇到一個唱著藍調(diào)的女孩

And I asked her for some happy news 我問她是否有好消息

But she just smiled and turned away而她卻只是微笑著轉(zhuǎn)身離開

I went down to the sacred store 我又走到那間唱片店

Where I heard the music years before多年前我曾在這聽到我要的音樂

But the man there said the music wouldn’t play 但那里的人告訴我再也不會播放了

And in the streets: the children screamed在街道上：孩子們尖叫著

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed戀人們哭泣著，詩人們做著夢

But not a word was spoken卻都一言不發(fā)

The church bells all were broken 教堂的鐘聲響起

And the three men I admire most: 有三個男人我最敬佩

They caught the last train for the coast 他們趕上了去往死亡海岸最后一班列車
