I sat down and wrote this letter
Telling you that I felt better
Since you've gone and I was free
I'm so happy
I have so little time to spare now
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
I make out like Casanova
Friends are always coming over
I signed my name as if I meant it
And sealed it with a kiss and sent it
The letter had improved my mood
Happy in my solitude
But halfway home I changed my tune
And when I saw my lonely room
The mirror caught my eye
When I sat down, I cried
Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world
I had to intercept that letter
Telling you that I was better
I raced to catch the postman's van
He was leaving as I ran
I missed the bus, I missed the train
I end up walking in the rain
Big dog chased me down the street
Hadn't had a bite to eat
Feeling sorry for myself
And wishing I was someone else
I walked across the city
Because I couldn't stand your pity
Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world
The place you live looks opulent
And obviously a higher rent
Than our cozy little room
I had this sense of doom
Your landlord says you're out of town
But your new boyfriend's always around
The hour was getting late
So I sit down and wait
Here's the postman with my letter
Coming down the path he better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him see
Begging doesn't do the trick
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
But then who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend, Mr. Clean
I hit the postman, hit your lover
Grabbed the letter, ran for cover
The police arrived in time for tea
They said they'd like to question me
But I can only curse my fate
I had to face the magistrate
It hasn't been the best of days
I'd like to fly away
Big lie, small world [2x]
It was a big lie, small world
Big lie, small world
Я сел и написал это письмо,
Чтобы сообщить тебе, что мне лучше.
С тех пор, как ты ушла и я освободился,
Я так счастлив...
У меня так мало времени в запасе.
Сейчас меня хотят почти везде.
Я веду себя, как Казанова.
Вокруг меня всегда много друзей.
Я на полном серьезе написал своё имя,
Запечатал его поцелуем и отправил.
Это письмо улучшило мое настроение.
Я счастлив в своём одиночестве.
Но на полпути домой я сменил настрой,
И в моей одинокой комнате
Мой взгляд упал на зеркало.
Я сел и заплакал.
Большая ложь, маленький мир.
Это была большая ложь, маленький мир.
Мне пришлось перехватить письмо,
В котором я писал, что мне лучше.
Я бросился за грузовиком почтальона.
Когда я прибежал, он был уже в пути.
Я опоздал на автобус, опоздал на поезд,
В конце концов, я шёл под дождем.
Большая собака гналась за мной на улице.
У меня не было ни крошки во рту.
Я испытывал жалость к себе
И хотел быть другим человеком.
Я прошёл весь город,
Потому что не мог выдержать твоей жалости.
Большая ложь, маленький мир.
Это была большая ложь, маленький мир.
Место, где ты живешь, выглядит богато,
И, очевидно, тут плата за аренду выше,
Чем в нашей маленькой комнатке,
Где на меня нашло это отчаяние.
Твой арендодатель говорит, что ты уехала из города,
Но твой новый бойфренд всегда здесь.
Час становился поздним,
Поэтому я сижу и жду.
Вот почтальон с моим письмом.
С места в карьер, я говорю, что ему
Лучше передать это мне.
Я должен убедить его.
Мольбы не работают,
Он думает, что я сумасшедший.
Но вот на сцену выходит не кто иной,
Как твой новый бойфренд – мистер Безупречность.
Я ударил почтальона, ударил твоего любовника,
Выхватил письмо и пустился бежать.
Полиция приехала как раз к чаю.
Они сказали, что хотят меня допросить.
Но я могу только проклинать судьбу.
Мне пришлось предстать перед судом.
Это был не лучший мой день.
Я хотел провалиться сквозь землю.
Большая ложь, маленький мир. [2x]
Это была большая ложь, маленький мир.
Большая ложь, маленький мир.
![Sting – <p><span style="color: #252525;">British rock musician and actor, leader of The Police in 1976-1984. Since 1984 he has been performing solo.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">The musician was born on October 2, 1951 in the port town of Wallsend in the north of England.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Ernest's father Matthew Sumner worked for many years as a fitter at a local engineering company. He later bought a small dairy shop. As a child, Sting often helped his father deliver milk in the morning.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Audrey's mother worked as a hairdresser and nurse. She had a classical music education and was able to develop her son's natural abilities by teaching him to play the piano at home. Gordon was the eldest of four children in the family. He also has younger sisters Anita, Angela and brother Philip.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1977 drummer Stuart Copeland, guitarist Andy Summers and Sting formed The Police. The first two singles, "Fall Out" and "Roxanne", were unsuccessful until they were heard by entrepreneur Miles Copeland (Stewart's older brother). Released in April 1979, "Roxanne" rose to number 12 in Britain and became a European hit. The first success was followed by the albums "Reggatta de Blanc", "Zenyattà Mondatta", "Ghost in the Machine" and "Synchronicity" (with the mega-hit "Every Breath You Take"). After a triumphant world tour in 1984, Sting decided that he had achieved everything he could with the group, and the group disbanded at the peak of its popularity.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">Sting's independent career was no less successful. His first album with jazz elements, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, went platinum. The single from this album was the song “Russians”.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1987, after a tour with The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Sting recorded an album ... Nothing Like the Sun / The song "They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)" was especially popular. The Soul Cages (1991), which coincided with the loss of his parents, and Ten Summoner's Tales (1993) introduced Sting as a mature composer.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">In 1991 Sting released the autobiographical album The Soul Cages, from which the single "All This Time" took the fifth place in the top 100 of the Billboard magazine. He continues in that vein with Ten Summoner's Tales, which includes hits like If I Ever Lose My Faith in You and Fields of Gold. Mercury Falling was not as successful as Ten Summoner's Tales, but The title track from his new album Brand New Day proved that Sting is still capable of producing hits.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">The events of September 11, 2001, deeply affected Sting. Recorded in the first half of 2003 in Paris, the album "Sacred Love" bears a clear imprint of the events in the world at that time. Sting's lyrics touch upon the themes of war, religion, understanding and misunderstanding, but the main theme, as the album title suggests, was still love. The song "Send Your Love" from this album brought Sting another Grammy nomination.</span></p><p> <span style="color: #252525;">At the end of May 2013, Sting's official website announced the recording of the new album The Last Ship, which was released on September 24 of the same year [3]. This disc became the musician's first studio album in the last ten years.</span></p> – Стинг](/avatar/1/0/10ae2be81fbe87d45e09ac885a754174_40x40){kind=small}
