星空 STARRY STARRY NIGHT

When I was a little little girl years ago, I saw a breathtaking starry night which couldn't be more splendid on a Moon Festival.
The Milky Way was shining, taking away my breathe; the moon was sooooo big and round, just like she would kiss me on the cheek.
Years after, however, I barely see a shining star in the sky.

Today, I am going to translate a Mandarin song called Starry Starry Night into English.
And there's nothing to do with Vicent but a Taiwanese artist named Jimmy Liao - the song is a namesake of a movie adapted frome his book "Starry Starry Night."



*When I was a little child, Mommy said , "If you can't fall asleep, look at the sky and find the most shining star. In that way, the wizard will  give you a sweet dream."*

Is the color we can't touch called rainbow
Is the embrace we can't see called breeze
Is the feeling a person feels when he miss another person called loneliness

Fate stole possibility, only leaving results
Time stole original intentions, only leaving ineffable difficulties
You came, and then you left, only leaving the starry starry night

In that year, we looked up at the starry starry night, having so many splendid dreams
Thinking that happiness will be eternal, just like eternal starry starry nights, keeping my company 

Orion, Sirius, Vega, keep silent out of a light-year
Memories, youth, dreams, when did they fall from the sky stealthily

I loved, and then I become silence, driven by the current of the crowd 

In that year, we looked up at the starry starry night, never thinking about the future after the future
When the story lost the beautiful dream and the beautiful dream lost the clue, we lost contact with each other
 
Why does this silent starry starry night look at my rolling tears queitly
If you were here, would you hug me
 
Counting the shining stars, counting the disturbances in my life
I realized that all what I gained would never as beautiful as a starrty starry night
It seems that I can touch the tendernesses in my hands and the smile faces in my memories
if I stretch out my hand

Is the color we can't touch called rainbow
Is the embrace we can't see called breeze
A person gets used to being alone.....

At this moment, I look at the starry starry night alone; the past before the past never changes
I can bear loneliness, and also can enjoy it - enjoy what I only have

In that year, we looked up at the starry starry night, having so many splendid dreams
At least, the memory will be eternal, keeping my company like eternal starry starry nights
In the end, only starry starry nights stayed, keeping my company like eternal memories

* In sleep, I knew the wizard led Mommy back. I looked at the whale which bobed up, and it led me looking at the starry starry night. The most shining one, smiled.*
