Englishman in New York（義大利Live演出）

Sting的Englishman in New York

曲調好聽且輕鬆

這首歌的Live版本大大的超越1987年專輯錄音版本

應該說各有風情

但我更喜歡有點年紀的Sting詮釋的版本和伴奏編曲

很有趣的歌詞（Sting的歌詞都很棒）↓


Englishman In New York
Music & Lyrics by Sting

I don't take coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one 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 a 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





補兩個連結：

Sting - Englishman In New York (1987年錄音版本)

有年輕飄髮的Sting喔！


Live in Berlin 2010 (part 1)

連結為Sting與英國皇家愛樂管絃樂團(The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)

合作的演唱會《Live in Berlin》片段
非常推薦這場演唱會的專輯(CD+DVD)

影片依序為大部分有點沉悶的A Thousand Years
這首似乎是柏林演唱會的開頭曲（演唱會CD的第一首不是它，所以不確定）
Sting的聲音好像還有點緊

接著是很活潑的Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

第三首就是Englishman in New York
可以聽到不同於上面兩個版本，很棒的管絃樂團眼奏和Jo Lawry的合聲

真的很推薦啊！
