CHORUS: Now I understand

The poor chap is looking for a SONG not some treatis on absinthian induced dementia.
If you choose to promote "Coopernic" (truly an excellent program) at least test out your links before you post them. |

18 Sep 99 - 12:22 AM (#115207) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Starry Starry Night From: _gargoyle Let me get this straight....
You have the man's answer....
But you are too BUSY, (chatting/catting/disorganizing ...perhaps) to dig out the answer yourself....(the answer you KNOW you posted) so you leave the "work" to Joe or Max....
Come on....do YOUR part....help the poor overworked souls out....contribute something more to the community.
Ah,.,....the song my grandmother sang: |

19 Sep 99 - 11:51 PM (#115639) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Starry Starry Night From: Rick Fielding Amazing what kind of things you can find here at Mudcat when you've been away for a few days. One of our number is called an "IDJET" for trying to help out, and another (who of all people here, should know we don't reply to this man) says "be nice!!" I could add that the chords and timing are totally incorrect, but it hardly seems to matter. Rick |

21 Sep 99 - 09:19 PM (#116282) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Starry Starry Night From: Rick Fielding Mag, it can also happen when you're "brewin' your own". Although I've never really fallen prey to the charm inherent in "Vincent", (I like the paintings though) it makes a great vehicle for parody. I've heard two over the years that I thought were screamingly funny. Don't know if I'll be able to find 'em, but I'll try. |

15 Aug 06 - 05:46 AM (#1810166) Subject: Lyr Add: Vincent (Stela, stela nokt') From: Haruo This is the Esperanto version by Roel Haveman: Vincent (Stela, stela nokt') Stela, stela nokt' Paletron pentru griz', lazur' Tag' somera en aŭgur' Vidante la malhelon en la viv'. Ombroj sur dekliv', Arbo skize kun florĉarm', Farbo brize kun malvarm' Kolore sur la neĝa tola ter'. Nun klaras la afer' Pri via pena komunik' Kiom serĉis vi por sana psik' Por ilia liberig'. Surdadis ili pro la menskaten', Nun eble ekkompren'. Stela, stela nokt' Flama flor' en vigla vent', Kirla nubo ĉe Vincent' Rebrilas en glazura okulpar'. En koloromar', Kampoj kun sukcena gren', Kap' ĉizita pro ĉagren' Mildiĝas sub la mano de tener', Refreno: Dum trafis vin senkor' Via am' ne iris for. Kiam formortis la esper' Dum tiu stela, stela nokt', Vivprenis vi, Am' estas tia ĉi Mi povintus montri, Vincent' Ĉi mondon sen atent' pri iu bela kiel vi. Stela, stela nokt' Hal' senhoma kun pentraĵ', Mur' sennoma kun vizaĝ', La mondon rigardanta sen forges' Kion ili faris jes', Pri ĉifonul' en ĉifonoz', Arĝenta dorn' de sanga roz' Tordita sur la virga neĝteren'. Nun eble ekkompren' Pri via pena komunik' Kiom serĉis vi por sana psik' Por ilia liberig'. Surdadis ili, ne aŭskultas jam Ĝi restos ĉiam sam'. I learned this during the North American Summer Esperanto Courses (where I was the school newspaper editor and assistant instructor) at the School for International Training in Brattleboro this July. The advanced course involved the study (in Esperanto) of Van Gogh's life and works. Very interesting guy, not just a loon with one ear missing. Haruo |

I know of one, by Martin Pearson, about various paintings he doesn't like that were acquired by a museum at great expense. It is hilarious. |
