Vincent - Don McLean [American Pie, 1971년]

2017.01.01 (일)

<시간이탈자>라는 영화에서 조정석 씨가 학교 선생님으로
나오는데요. 거기서 학생들한테 그런 얘기를 합니다.
길 잃었을 때 나침반을 보면 나침반의 바늘이 방향을
찾기 위해서는 처음에는 이리저리 흔들린다.
흔들리는 걸 기다려야 방향을 제대로 잡을 수 있다.

네, 올해도요 우리는 많이 흔들리고 실수도 많이 하겠지요?
근데요 기다려보자구요. 결국 방향을 잡겠죠. 초초해하지 말구요.
포기하지 말고 스스로를 믿는 그런 2017년을 만들기로 하구요.
올해도 별밤을 늘 이렇게 여러분 가까이에 있겠습니다.

오늘 별밤 끝 곡은요 Don McLean 의 'Vincent' 준비했습니다.
첫 가사에 ♬Starry, Starry Night~♬ 이 나오지요?
올 한 해도 별밤은 여러분들이 있는 밤이라면 언제든지
하늘의 별처럼 빛나도록 하겠습니다.
지금까지 저는 별밤지기 강타였습니다.

내일 봐요.

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.
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,
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.

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.

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've 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, a 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.
