In the Yellow House - Michael Franks

No one knows the joy when you create
没有人可以理解你的喜悦
By definition something out of nothing
当你只凭定义将虚无变成现实
Colors canvas light
颜色 画布 还有光影
But Christ is the light Paul
但上帝 就是那光影 保罗
The sunlight Vincent down in Arles
在文森特居住的阿尔勒 在阳光下
You painted mudes I painted flowers
你画着裸体 我画着花儿
We drank that cloudy absinthe all night long
我们整夜喝着那厚重的苦艾酒
And the women we loved were loose
我们爱着的女人是慵懒的
When we lived in the yellow house
当我们还住在那黄色的房子里
In the yellow house life was ideal
在那里 生活是理想化的
By definition something one imagine
通过定义 想象着
Painters brothers friends
画家们 兄弟们 朋友们
At least till the end came
至少等到一切结束之前
Complete surprise attack of rage
去完成愤怒带给我们的冲击与惊奇
A most peculiar place to shave

In time our fine companionship went wrong
时而 我们的友谊可能会出错
But the pictures are living proof
但这些画作便是我们
Of our life in the yellow house

Ruined studio of the south

Three short months in the yellow house

I never knew that the malady was madness

Neither did I my friend it sneaks on you from behind

I believed your condition had improved

I was convinced that hard work

And our friendship would cure me

I was blind to your suffering forgive me
对你的痛苦我视而不见
You always helped me when you could
而你总是对我给予帮助
You did your best at least your tried
你已经尽力 至少你尝试了
But not enough to distract you from the end
但还是使你在离去的路上决绝不已
A wheat field with crows and those cypresses in starry night
在飞满乌鸦的麦田之上 在遍布柏树的夜空下
You painting sunflowers is how I remember you
你的画作 向日葵 是我记住你的最好方式
Only my pistol can comfort this sadness tonight
而只有这把手枪能抚慰我今夜的忧伤
