Englishman In New York

“Englishman In New York”
纽约的英国佬

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
亲爱的我不要咖啡，我喝茶
我的吐司要从一面拷
我一开口你就能听出来
我是个纽约的英国佬

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
你看我一路信步而来
一根手杖陪着我走过第五大道
我与它形影不离
我是个纽约的英国佬

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
我是个异类，我是个合法的异类
我是个纽约的英国佬
我是个异类，我是个合法的异类
我是个纽约的英国佬

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
从前他们说“君子约之以礼”
可如今这么做就像个异类
你要微笑着忍受他人的蒙昧
我行我素，哪管它人言可畏

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
我是个异类，我是个合法的异类
我是个纽约的英国佬
我是个异类，我是个合法的异类
我是个纽约的英国佬

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
哪怕落得恶名昭著却也要谦逊、得体
在茫茫人海中你孤身孑立
如今的社会鲜有什么风度与理性
可黑夜中的烛光却非朝阳可比

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
并不是穿上了迷彩服就成了男子汉
勇气并不是一纸持枪执照
面对你的敌人，尽量不和他们打交道
一个绅士会转身走开但绝不逃跑

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
从前他们说“君子约之以礼”
可如今这么做就像个异类
你要微笑着忍受他人的蒙昧
我行我素，哪管它人言可畏

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
我是个异类，我是个合法的异类
我是个纽约的英国佬
我是个异类，我是个合法的异类
我是个纽约的英国佬
