01-ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK – Mi m

Sting

 

I don't drink coffee i take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side
And you can hear it in my accent when i talk
I'm an englishman in new york

See me walking down fifth avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere i walk
I'm an englishman in new york

I'm an alien i'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york
I'm an alien i'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, i'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york
I'm an alien, i'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york

 

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien, i'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new york
I'm an alien, i'm a legal alien
I'm an englishman in new York

02-MOON OVER BOURBON STREET – C1 Si M7

Sting

 

There's a moon

over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass

beneath the pale lamplight
I've no choice but to follow

that call
The bright lights,

the people, and the moon and all


I pray every day to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade

or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon

over bourbon street

It was many years ago

I became what I am
I was trapped in this life

like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face

at noon
And you'll only see me walking

by the light of the moon

 

The brim of my hat

hides the eyes of a beast
I've the face of a sinner

but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade

or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon

over bourbon street

She walks everyday

through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young

from a family of means
I have stood many times

outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct

in the pale moonlight


How could I be this way

when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy

and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade

or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon

over bourbon street

03-RUSSIANS – C1 Si m

Sting

 

In Europe and America

there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the soviets


Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the russians love their children too

How can i save my little boy

from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly of common sense
On either side of the political fence

 
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when i say to you
I hope the russians love their children too

 

There is no historical precedent
To put words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore


Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when i say to you
I hope the russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is that the russians love their children too

04-STOLEN CAR – C1 Fa# m

Sting

 

Late at night in summer heat

expensive car, empty street
there's a wire in my jacket. this is my trade
it only takes a moment, don't be afraid.
I can hotwire an ignition like some kind of star
i'm just a poor boy in a rich man's car
so i whisper to the engine, flick on the lights
and we drive into the night

 

Oh the smell of the leather

always excited my imagination
and i picture myself in this different situation
i'm a company director, two kids and a wife
i get the feeling that there's more to this one's life
there's some kind of complication, he tells her he's alone
spends the night with his lover,

there's a trace of her cologne
and the words of his mistress,

as she whispers them so near
start ringing in my ear


Please take me dancing tonight

i've been all on my own
you promised one day we could its,

what you said on the phone

 

i'm just a prisoner of love

always hid form the light
take me dancing, please

take me dancing tonight


I imagine his wife, she don't look nothing like a fool
she picks the kids up form some private school
she remembers what he told her,

he was late and worked alone
but there's more than a suspicion

in this lingering cologne
and the kid's just won't be quiet

and she runs a traffic light
and she drives into the night


Please take me dancing tonight i've been all on my own
you promised one day we could

it's what you said on the phone
i'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light
take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight
So here am i in a stolen car at a traffic light
they go form red to green and

so i just drive into the night
Please take me dancing tonight i've been all on my own
you promised one day we could

it's what you said on the phone
i'm just a prisoner of love always hid from the light

take me dancing, please take me dancing tonight

05-THEY DANCE ALONE – La M

Sting

 

Why are there women here dancing on their own?

 Why is there this sadness in their eyes?

 Why are the soldiers here

 Their faces fixed like stone?

 I can't see what it is that they dispise

 

 They're dancing with the missing

 They're dancing with the dead

 They dance with the invisible ones

 Their anguish is unsaid

 

They're dancing with their fathers

 They're dancing with their sons

 They're dancing with their husbands

 They dance alone

They dance alone

 

 It's the only form of protest they're allowed

 I've seen their silent faces scream so loud

 If they were to speak these words

they'd go missing too

 Another woman on a torture table

what else can they do

 

They're dancing with the missing

 They're dancing with the dead

 They dance with the invisible ones

 Their anguish is unsaid

 They're dancing with their fathers

 They're dancing with their sons

 They're dancing with their husbands

 They dance alone They dance alone

 

 One day we'll dance on their graves

 One day we'll sing our freedom

 One day we'll laugh in our joy

 And we'll dance

 One day we'll dance on their graves

 One day we'll sing our freedom

 One day we'll laugh in our joy

 And we'll dance

 

 Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos

 Ellas danzan con los muertos

 Ellas danzan con amores invisibles

 Ellas danzan con silenciosa angustia

 

Danzan con sus padres

 Danzan con sus hijos

 Danzan con sus esposos

 Ellas danzan solas

 Danzan solas
