A starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey
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
How you suffered for you sanity
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
Chorus:
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight, 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 stranger that you’ve met, the ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will.
Don McLean.

Es precioso, Claudia.
Un beso
Ser feliz es mucho más que un simple hecho o un instante, incluso es mucho más que el paso de determinadas etapas en la vida.
Pero definitivamente, la mejor manera de encontrar el camino de la felicidad es la sinceridad. Sinceridad con uno mismo y con los que nos rodean.
Cada cual interpretará la sinceridad de una manera, en ocasiones puede querer decir coherencia, en otras respeto, en otras amor o incluso libertad.
Me temo que yo también tengo un fetiche con esa canción desde que la escuchamos en Irlanda, ¿te acuerdas? Por cierto, tuve la suerte de ver el cuadro cuando estuve en Nueva York, y la noche estrellada del coleguita Vincent... Es realmente una pasada, te envuelve de una manera brutal cuando lo observas.
ponte argo paaaya...
