Does anyone have the lyrics to 'Starry, Starry Night', sung and written by Don Mclane?
In return, I'll post the words to 'The House Of The Rising Sun' in Latin.

ok, here goes....I've never seen house of the rising sun in latin

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 your 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 field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

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 know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But sill 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 head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the 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're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will.

Here goes:

Id est domi in Nova Orlanium
Vocant 'Surgete Sol'
Et fuit ruina multa puer
Sub in Nova Orlanium

Mea mater erat sartorius
Redus mea nova vestum
Mea pater erat stupidus vir
Sub in Nova Orlanium

Mater, narro tuam liboram
Nolite esse quid ego habuistis
Et habito tuam vivam
In malus et miseris in Nova Orlanium

Habeo unum ped on platformis
Ceteri ped on locamotus
Redeo ad Nova Orlanium
Gerere ille spherus et vinculum

Id est domi in Nova Orlanium
Vocant 'Surgete Sol'
Fuit ruina multa puer
Sub in Nova Orlanium

Translated 1998-Thanatos

Oh aye. You should hear the version of the 'Lumberjack Song' one of my friends sings in Latin.
Sum lumberis jackum, sum...
