我想畫出我感受到的東西，并去感受我的畫——梵高

■ 編者按：文森特·梵高，他是家族的流亡者，是世界的陌生人，是自己的敵人。美國的一位游吟歌手Don Mclean 在閱讀了一本關于分高生平的書后，寫下這首《Vincent》的歌詞：

Starry starry night

星光閃耀的夜晚

flaming flowers that brightly blaze

那些如烈焰般綻放的花兒

swirling clouds in violet haze

那些在紫羅蘭的薄霧中旋轉(zhuǎn)的云朵

reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue

都在文森特瓷器一樣湛藍的眸子里

Colors changing hue

變幻著色彩

morning fields of amber grain

清晨琥珀色的原野

weathered faces lined in pain

風化了的臉孔鐫刻著的痛楚

are smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand

畫家用深情手去撫慰那些憂傷

And now I understand

而此刻我才懂得

what you tried to say to me

你想對我訴說的那些故事

and how you suffered for your sanity

你因深深的思索而承受著苦悶

and how you tried to set them free

你因賦予思想自由而所做的一切

They would not listen

可是，那些人不會聽到

they did not know how

因為他們無法體會

perhaps they'll listen now

又或許  他們現(xiàn)在才知道

For they could not love you

盡管他們并不愛你

but still your love was true

可你的愛卻是如此真實

and when no hope was left in sight on that

在那個只有絕望的星夜

starry starry night

你帶走了自己的生命

You took your life as lovers often do

就像殉情的愛人一樣

But I could have told you Vincent

然而 我必須告訴你真相 文森特

this world was never meant for one

像你這樣美好的靈魂

as beautiful as you

本就不該來這骯臟的世間
