DON MCLean Starry, starry night (Vincent)

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

Noapte, noapte nstelat

Picteaz-i paleta de albastru i gri
Privete spre o zi de var
Cu ochi care mi cunosc ntunericul din inim

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

Umbre pe dealuri
Deseneaz copacii i narcisele
Surprind briza i rcoarea iernii
n culori, pe fundalul alb de in.

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

Acum neleg
Ce ai ncercat s mi spui
i cum ai suferit pentru raiunea ta
i cum ai ncercat s i eliberezi

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now

Nu au ascultat, nu au tiut cum

Poate vor asculta acum.

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Noapte, noapte nstelat

Flori aprinse care ard strlucitor
Nori spiralai ntr-o cea violet
Se reflect n ochii lui Vincent de un albastru ca de porelan.

Colors changing hue

Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Culori n nuane schimbtoare

Cmpurile dimineaa, cu grne de chihlimbar
Fee ridate de soare
Sunt alinate de mn artistului.

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

Acum neleg
Ce ai ncercat s mi spui
i cum ai suferit pentru raiunea ta
i cum ai ncercat s i eliberezi

They would not listen, they did not know how

Nu au ascultat, nu au tiut cum

Perhaps they'll listen now

Poate vor asculta acum.

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

Pentru c nu au putut s te iubeasc

i cu toate acestea, dragostea ta a fost adevrat
i atunci cnd nu mai era nicio speran,
Oh, noaptea, noaptea aceea nstelat

You took your life, as lovers often do

But I could've told you Vincent
This world was never meant for
One as beautiful as you

i-ai luat viaa, aa cum fac adesea ndrgostiii

Dar a fi putut s i spun Vincent
Aceast lumea nu a fost niciodat menit pentru
Cineva att de frumos ca tine.

Starry, starry night

Portraits hung in empty halls
Frame-less heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Noapte, noapte nstelat

Portrete atrnnd n holuri goale
Capete fr trupuri, pe perei fr nume
Cu ochi care privesc lumea i nu uit

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

Ca i strinii pe care tu i-ai ntlnit

Omul jerpelit, cu hainele zdrenuite
Spinul argintiu al trandafirului sngeriu
Se afl acum zdrobit i rupt pe zpada neatins

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

Acum cred c tiu

Ce ai ncercat s mi spui
i cum ai suferit pentru raiunea ta
i cum ai ncercat s i eliberezi

They would not listen, they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will

Nu au vrut s asculte, i nc nu ascult

Posibil s nu o fac niciodat.
