还有两只简洁又可爱的小猫,一只给你,一只给那位喜欢猫的好朋友,你们自己挑吧!:-)

Englishman In New York – by Sting

I don't drink 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

第一遍听感觉马马虎虎,再听好听些,听到第三遍,开始喜欢了。 :)

飞扬的青春 回复 悄悄话 回复TheQuick的评论:
这首歌是 Sting 为他的朋友 Quentin Crisp 写的,Quentin Crisp 于70年代移民美国,举止有些古怪,他住在纽约 Bowery 的一个小公寓,有一次他告诉 Sting,他希望早点得到移民纸,这样就可以“犯罪”而不被驱逐了,至于什么罪,他的回答是“Oh, Someting glamorous, nonviolent, with a dash of style”
TheQuick 回复 悄悄话 沙发! 纽约人真多。。。:)
