Tillykke med fødselsdagen!

不好意思,有些晚了,“Tillykke med fødselsdagen!”
還有兩隻簡潔又可愛的小貓,一隻給你,一隻給那位喜歡貓的好朋友,你們自己挑吧!:-)

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

查鋪的 回複 悄悄話 He is a Chinese man in New York? Be himself no matter what they say? 你的紐約朋友舉止是不是也有些古怪?hiahia~~

第一遍聽感覺馬馬虎虎,再聽好聽些,聽到第三遍,開始喜歡了。 :)

查鋪的 回複 悄悄話 又過來看望可愛的白玉貓貓。注意到沒,那個紐約人跟那隻小黑貓有點象?

飛揚的青春 回複 悄悄話 回複TheQuick的評論:
這首歌是 Sting 為他的朋友 Quentin Crisp 寫的,Quentin Crisp 於70年代移民美國,舉止有些古怪,他住在紐約 Bowery 的一個小公寓,有一次他告訴 Sting,他希望早點得到移民紙,這樣就可以“犯罪”而不被驅逐了,至於什麽罪,他的回答是“Oh, Someting glamorous, nonviolent, with a dash of style”
TheQuick 回複 悄悄話 沙發! 紐約人真多。。。:)
