An Englishman in New York. <\/span><\/strong>By Sting<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\n

I don’t drink coffee I take tea my dear, I like my toast done on the side. <\/span><\/p>\n

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk <\/span><\/p>\n

— I’m an Englishman in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

See me walking down Fifth Avenue,<\/p>\n

A walking cane<\/strong> here at my side.    —  \u0442\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c<\/em><\/p>\n

I take it everywhere I walk —<\/p>\n

I’m an Englishman in New York.<\/p>\n

I’m an alien<\/strong>, I’m a legal alien — \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0448\u0435\u043b\u0435\u0446, \u0447\u0443\u0436\u0430\u043a<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m an Englishman in New York.<\/p>\n

I’m an alien, I’m a legal<\/strong> alien — \u043b\u0435\u0433\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0439<\/p>\n

I’m an Englishman in New York.<\/p>\n

If «manners maketh man» as someone said,<\/p>\n

Then he’s the hero of the day.<\/p>\n

It takes a man to suffer<\/strong> ignorance<\/strong> and smile — \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0434\u0430\u0442\u044c \u043e\u0442 \u043d\u0435\u0432\u0435\u0436\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430<\/em><\/p>\n

Be yourself no matter what they say — <\/strong>\u0447\u0442\u043e \u0431\u044b \u043d\u0438 \u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u043b\u0438<\/p>\n

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien I’m an Englishman in New York<\/p>\n

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien I’m an Englishman in New York<\/p>\n

Modesty<\/strong>, propriety<\/strong> can lead to notoriety — <\/strong>\u0441\u043a\u0440\u043e\u043c\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c, \u0431\u043b\u0430\u0433\u043e\u043f\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0439\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c, \u0434\u0443\u0440\u043d\u0430\u044f \u0441\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430<\/em><\/p>\n

You could end up as the only one.<\/p>\n

Gentleness<\/strong>, sobriety<\/strong> are rare<\/strong> in this society — \u043c\u044f\u0433\u043a\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c, \u0442\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c, \u0440\u0435\u0434\u043a\u0438<\/em><\/p>\n

At night a candle<\/strong>‘s brighter than the sun! — \u0441\u0432\u0435\u0447\u0430<\/p>\n

Takes more than combat gear<\/strong> to make a man — \u0431\u043e\u0435\u0432\u043e\u0435 \u043e\u0441\u043d\u0430\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435<\/em><\/p>\n

Takes more than license for a gun.<\/p>\n

Confront<\/strong> your enemies<\/strong>, avoid<\/strong> them when you can — \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043e\u044f\u0442\u044c, \u0432\u0440\u0430\u0433, \u0438\u0437\u0431\u0435\u0433\u0430\u0442\u044c<\/em><\/p>\n

A gentleman will walk but never run.<\/p>\n

If «manners maketh man» as someone said —<\/p>\n

Then he’s the hero of the day.<\/p>\n

It takes a man<\/strong> to suffer ignorance and smile — \u0442\u044b \u0434\u043e\u043b\u0436\u0435\u043d \u0431\u044b\u0442\u044c \u043c\u0443\u0436\u0447\u0438\u043d\u043e\u0439, \u0447\u0442\u043e\u0431\u044b…<\/em><\/p>\n

Be yourself no matter what they say<\/p>\n

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien<\/p>\n

I’m an Englishman in New York<\/p>\n

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien I’m an Englishman in New York. <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
