首先简单介绍一下，这是DON McLEAN为身前只卖出过一张画的天才画家梵高写的，所以词的第一句就是“Starry,starry night”——出自梵高在疯人院创作的名画《Starry night》，也就是Flash的第一幅画面。

Starry starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey.
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

CHORUS:
Now I understand what you tried to say to me.
And how you suffered for your sanity,
And 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 soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

CHORUS

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,
And how you suffered for your sanity,
And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen,
They're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will.

很高兴又听到了这首歌。多年以前我向几位朋友推荐过，并写下了我的感受。
作为歌曲，这首歌吸引人的地方也许并不是韵律，而是歌词。和《Americam Pie》一样，Don Mclean 懂得如何用诗歌的语言平实地打动人心。
在Amsterdam的Van Gaugh纪念馆里，人们总能听到这首歌。这首歌带给人们的，也许是永远的思考。
我们真正understand那些为了“清醒”而受苦的人们吗？（who suffered for their sanity)
