google 換新裝

剛用 Google 查資料，發現他蠻耍寶的，一看就知是模仿梵谷的畫風，和 google logo 結合的還真優秀呢。



梵谷 (Vincent VanGogh 1853-1890) 的「星月之夜」，The Starry Night (1889)



突然想到 Don Mclean 於 1971 年灌製「American Pie」時所唱的 Vincent (也就是梵谷的名字)，這首歌前陣子拜荷蘭銀行廣告之賜，又突然紅了。

Vincent / Don Mclean 1971

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 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

繁星熠熠的夜空
在你的色板上調弄藍色與灰色
望向夏日的夜空
你有一雙能洞悉
靈魂黑暗面的眼睛
用山丘的陰影
勾勒出樹木和水仙的輪廓
補抓微風和冬天裡的冰霜
來描繪嚴冬的大地
如今我終於明白
你想對我說些什麼
明白你因清醒而深苦
明白你如何努力掙脫枷鎖
大家從不傾聽
也不知如何開始
但也許現在他們已經願意嘗試

Starry starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly laze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields amber grain
Wheathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath
The artists loving hand
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight

繁星熠熠的夜空
烈焰般燦開的花朵
與紫色浮動的流雲
都映在文森那藍如青瓷的雙眼
田野間琥珀色的麥穗
在晨曦中展現大地的生命
農夫刻盡風霜的臉
亦在藝術家慈愛的畫筆下
得到撫慰
人們的冷漠對待
不改你對人世的熱情
在絕望時凝視著

On that starry starry night
You look youe life
As lover often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you

繁星熠熠的夜空
你審視著你的生命
如戀人珍惜彼此般
但是我早該告訴你 文森
這世界並不值得
高貴的你所留戀啊～

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 man 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
How you suffered for you sanity
How you tried to set them free
They could not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

繁星熠熠的夜空
空蕩室內掛著的畫像
無頭緒的靠在牆上
依舊用你的雙眼
看著這無法遺忘的世界
像所有你所遭遇到的陌生人
如衣衫襤褸的路人
像紅色玫瑰上的銀刺
被蹂躪摧折之丟棄於
潔白的雪地
如今我想我終於明白
你想說些什麼
明白你那因清醒而痛苦
明白你如何努力地去掙脫枷鎖
然而人們還是無法聆聽
他們還是依然無法進入你的世界
也絕不會懂．．．．
