[내가듣는노래] Sting - Englishman In New York

 

Sting - Englishman In New York

 

 

Englishman in New York은 스팅이 1987년에 발표한 노랜데, 

아직까지도 많은 사람들이 듣는 노래 중 하나다.

나 또한 뭔가 복잡한 길거리 같은 곳을 걸으면 

이 노래가 자주 생각난다. 

 

그리고 이노래가 좋은 이유가 

그냥 팝 적인게 아니라 복합적인 장르가 섞여있어서 

더 귀가 간다고 그래야하나 ,

레게로 시작하고 재즈도 나오고 

내가 좋아하는 요소가 다 들어가있다. 

명곡이다 증말. 

 

아래 영상은 스팅이 거리에서 노래 부르는 영상인데 

내가 저기 있었다면 정말 잊지못하는 날이 되었을 것 같음 ㅠㅠ 

 

 

I don't drink coffee, I'll 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

Be yourself, no matter what they say
Be yourself, no matter what they say
Be yourself, no matter what they say

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Be yourself, no matter what they say
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm an Englishman in New York
