Starry starry night歌詞意思

"Starry Starry Night" 是由加拿大歌手兼詩人唐·麥克萊恩(Don McLean)創作的一首歌,靈感來自荷蘭後印象派畫家文森特·梵谷(Vincent van Gogh)的畫作《星夜》(The Starry Night)。這首歌不僅是對梵谷藝術的致敬,也是對他悲劇性一生的詠嘆。

歌詞中,麥克萊恩將自己置身於梵谷的畫作之中,描述了畫中的景象和梵谷的情感世界。歌詞如下(部分節選):

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

歌詞的意思是:

整首歌表達了對梵谷藝術的敬仰,以及對他悲劇性人生的感慨。麥克萊恩通過這首歌,讓更多人了解梵谷的藝術和內心世界,並且讓人們對這位偉大的畫家產生了更多的敬意和同情。
