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
Chorus:
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 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
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not how
Perhaps they ll listen now
They did not listen they re not listening still
Perhaps they never will
Quand il me prend dans ses bras,
Il me parle tout bas,
Je vois la vie en rose.
Il me dit des mots d amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,
Et ça me fait quelque chose.
Il est entré dans mon coeur,
Une part de bonheur,
Dont je connais la cause.
C est toi pour moi,
Moi pour toi,
Dans la vie.
Il me l a dit,
L a juré,
Pour la vie.
Et dès que je l aperçois,
Alors je sens en moi,
Mon coeur qui bat.
For you there ll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
Cause I feel that when I m with you
It s alright, I know it s right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
To you, I would give the world
To you, I d never be cold
Cause I feel that when I m with you
It s alright, I know it s right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before; like never before.
04.Emi Fujita
去年这个时候，一个喜欢玩鼓的朋友叫我去听Emi Fujita。味道不错，很清新。一直觉得她不是土生土长的日本人，闭上眼睛，你可能也会觉得这是美国人的声音。她的名作《The Water Is Wide》（点击下载），被很多轻音乐团重新制作，这首歌可以在黄昏时打动任何人。适合弹唱.
The water is wide
I can t cross over
And either have
I wings to fly
Give me a boat
that can carry two
And both shall row
my love and I
Oh love is gentle
and love is kind
The sweetest flower
when first it s new
But love goes on
then waxing cold
And fades away
like morning dew
There s a ship
and she sails the sea
She s loaded deep
as deep can be
But not as deep
as the love I m in
I know not if
I sink or swim
05.Sinead O Connor
一直以来，Sinead O Connor都是一个桀骜不驯的女人。光头、言辞犀利、易怒、极少阴柔，她是一位严肃的摇滚Lady。她多次宣称如果在她出场前挂出星条旗则拒绝出演，甚至在有4项提名的情况下退出年度Grammy奖的评选。关于她，常听的一曲是《Streets Of London》（点击下载），浅吟低唱，细碎低语，带着些浅浅的沉静美，从容平静。这首歌讲述的故事很飘渺，很像印象派电影的感觉。退役的老水兵，褪色的勋章，一切都很欧洲。
Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterday s paper, telling yesterday s news
* So how can you tell me you re lonely
And say for you that the sun don t shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I ll show you something
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She s no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone
Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman s mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn t care
06.Diana Krall
Diana Krall在演唱方面很擅长把握爵士乐的韵律，厚度也很到位。据说她的父亲拥有几乎所有三十年代爵士钢琴家Fats Waller的老唱片，并通晓二、三十年代几乎所有爵士钢琴演奏家。这些应该都是Diana Krall难得的早期教材。个人觉得，她身上多少有些Nat King Cole的影子。相比而言，我更喜欢现场版的《The Look Of Love》（点击下载）。 Diana Krall布置的一切都很到位，这是我听过的最好的Bossa Nova Jazz，节奏感灵动，但柔劲充足。到处是咖啡和烟的味道。
the look of love is in your eyes
the look your smile can t disguise
the look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
and what my heart has heard
well it takes my breath away
i can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you
how long i have waited
waited just to love you
now that i have found you
you ve got the look of love
it s on your face
a look that time can t erase
be mine tonight
let this be just the start of so many nights like this
let s take a lover s vow and then seal it with a kiss
i can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you
how long i have waited
waited just to love you
now that i have found you
don t ever go
don t ever go
i love you so
i can hardly wait to hold you feel my arms around you
how long i have waited waited just to love you
now that i have found you
don t ever go
don t ever go
don t ever go
Spinning, laughing,dancing
To her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone
Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she ll sing her song to anyone
That comes along
Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin to the ground
Without a sound
Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That s all her own
Spinning, laughing, dancing
To her favorite song
She s a little girl with nothing wrong
And she s all alone
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she s all alone
The falling leaves
drift by my window,
The autumn leaves
of red and gold;
I see your lips
the summer kisses,
The sunburned hands
I used to hold;
Since you went away,
the days are long,
And soon I ll hear
old winter s song;
But I miss you most of all
my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall
This is why I always wonder
I m a pond full of regrets
I always try to not remember rather than forget
This is why I always whisper
When vagabonds are passing by
I tend to keep myself away from their goodbyes
Tide will rise and fall along the bay
and I m not going anywhere
I m not going anywhere
People come and go and walk away
but I m not going anywhere
I m not going anywhere
This is why I always whisper
I m a river with a spell
I like to hear but not to listen,
I like to say but not to tell
This is why I always wonder
There s nothing new under the sun
I won t go anywhere so give my love to everyone
Tide will rise and fall along the bay
and I m not going anywhere
I m not going anywhere
People come and go and walk away
but I m not going anywhere
I m not going anywhere
One I Love
One I love, two she loves
Three she s true to me
All of my friends fell out with me
Because I kept your company
But let them say whatever they will
I love my love with a free good will
One I love, two she loves
And three she s true to me
They tell me he s poor, they tell me he s young
I tell them all to hold their tongue
If they could part the sand from the sea
They never could part my love from me
One I love, two she loves
Three she s true to me
When I m awake, I find no rest
Until his head lies on my breast
When I m asleep I m dreaming of
My own, my dear, my one true love
One I love, two she loves
Three she s true to me
When the fire to ice will run
And when the tide no longer turns
And when the rocks melt with the sun
My love for you will have just begun
One I love, two she loves
Three she s true to me
One I love, two she loves
And three she s true to me
11. Helene Segara
Helene Segara很能玩弄法国风情，她的嗓音一般在编曲中并十分突出，但包含魅惑迷离的特质，非常喜欢她用温软的都会爵士乐曲，可以让我情不自禁地醉过去。《Humaine》（点击下载）一开场就渗出了异域的味道.
Que jamais on ne me délivre
Des liens de mon enfance
Que jamais je n ouvre le livre
Où je comprendrai mes souffrances
Que jamais je ne puisse paraître
Ce que je ne suis pas
Que je sois telle qu on m a faite
Et non telle qu on me voit
Que je ne me forge pas des armes
Pour endurcir mon coeur
Que je ne m invente pas des larmes
Sous l oeil des projecteurs
Que je ne devienne jamais de glace
Devant le vie qui saigne
Que je reste toujours à ma palce
Parmi les gens que j aime
C est tout ce que je demande
Vivre où l amour peut m attendre
En laissant pleurer mon coeur
Par le sang de ems douleurs
En restant seulement moi-même
Humaine, humaine
Que jamais ne vienne le jour
Où le temps me mangera
Où j écrirai mes amours
Sur des feuilles d agenda
Que tous les diamants du monde
Dorment dans leur écrins
Que mes joies les plus profondes
Me viennent de trois fois rien
Que jamais je ne sache compter
Plus loin que jusqu à deux
Sans chercher à monter
Qur la colline des dieux
Que sur les chemins du doute
J avance mes rêves au cou
En rencontrant sur ma route
Des gens semblables à vous
C est tout ce que je demande
Vivre où l amour peut m attendre
En laissant pleurer mon coeur
Par le sang de ems douleurs
En restant seulement moi-même
Humaine, humaine
Jai appris de lui
Tous les gestes et les cris
Tous les baisers boulversants
Et les mots difficiles
Réveil
sans Domicileoser
Ce quil ose
Jai appris de lui
La souffrance et lenvie
La jalousie comme une corde
Ce désordre des sens
Lindécence
Et le cœur A tordre
Toutes ces choses
Oui
Tout l temps, tout ltemps
OuiTout ltemps pour luiJe
dépense mon temps
Je dépense ma vie
Même sil maime par à-coups
Si jsuis pour lui quune page
Un peu dson paysage
Je pense à lui malgré tout
En silence
Sans violence
Aussi
Avec violence
Surtout pas me faire plaindre
Surtout pas me faire peindre
En p tit fille bien gentille
Je suis tombée toute seule
Toute seule dans
Sa petite gueule de loup
Et cest tout
13.Sophie Zelmani
Sophie Zelmani来自瑞典，她的音乐诠释出的情感是纤细、纯净的。从歌词上来看，她的歌直接纪录了她的成长历程。这就像是用音乐来回忆某种情感或是生理上的愈合《Breeze》（点击下载）中的吉他音色是帅气洒脱的，听上去很有快意，这也是Sophie Zelmani 在音乐上的集成体现。
My heart is leaving you
it says goodbye
Disappering from you tonight
Not a breeze is gonna
pass you by
There are sailingboats
There are ships
Broken rafts adrift
I m jumping on
what ever s passing by
I ve blown tha candle out
that you forgot
I ve made sure that
the door is shut
I don t think you re ever
coming back
My heart is leaving you
It s says goodbye
Disappering from you tonight
Not a breeze is gonna
pass you by
14.Katie Melua
我并不觉得Katie Melua 可以替代Norah Jones，就像她常说的：“BLUESY，FOLKY AND CHILLED”，至少在风格定位上，Katie Melua是鲜明的。值得一提的是，她曾有感于Eva Cassidy的故事，创作了《Faraway Voice》。这首《I Cried For You》（点击下载）在旋律上有些歌剧的味道，整首编曲体现着一种完满的光滑，很根源。
You re beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass， the never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you re like a wild rose
They never understand why
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
I ll cross the sea for a different world
With your treasure， a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you ve gone away
But in my heart you ll always stay
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper
15.Laura Pausini
Laura Pausini是一个清亮的意大利女人。在语言方面，她主要演唱意大利和西班牙歌曲，擅长声场力道的控制和把握。Laura Pausini翻唱的《One More Time》（点击下载）刚听到她这个版本的时候我很吃惊，Laura Pausini 的演唱能力确实已经超越了歌曲本身，这样的音乐是值得收录一生的
Nothing I must do
Nowhere I should be
No one in my life
To answer to, but me
No more candlelights
No more purple skies
No one to be near
As my heart slowly dies
If I could hold you One More Time
Like in the days when you were mine
I d look at you
Till I was blind
So you would stay
I d say a prayer each time you smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I d stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time
I have memorized your face
I know your touch by heart
Still lost in your embrace
I dream of where you are
