[Sting:]
You'll see me walking in the streets at night
Just following the sound of my lonely feet
I'm relinquishing of all control
My mind's in tactical retreat
I doubt you even live here still
But it quickens up the pace of my heartbeat
When I find myself by accident
On 22nd Street
All the years, since bittersweet
Are chapters in a story book
That still is incomplete
The falling leaves will tumble to defeat
But nothing's ever changed round here
On 22nd Street
[Shaggy:]
Every time I'm at the spot I remember
22nd was the place I met the girl of dreams
A bright sunny day in November
Such a beautiful sight staring right back at me
To get yuh body was my goal
But yuh fit perfectly ina di wifey roll
Yuh have mi unda control
On 22nd Street weh yuh capture mi heart and soul
[Sting:]
I have a dream that I can't shake
A dream where lonely lovers meet
On the corner of the avenue
And 22nd Street
The street musicians start to play
Their violins so sweet
We can't help ourselves but dance
These steps we must complete
All the years, since bittersweet
Are chapters in a fairy tale
That still lies incomplete
The falling leaves are destined to repeat
That nothing's ever changed round here
On 22nd Street
[Shaggy:]
Well any time I walk the spot I remember
22nd was the place I met the girl of dreams
A bright sunny day in November
Such a beautiful sight staring right back at me
I couldn't leave you alone
Something inside told me I'm gonna make you my own
I had you locked in my zone
You are the queen of my life and the heir to my throne
[Sting:]
All the years, since bittersweet
Are chapters in a fairy tale
That still lies incomplete
The falling leaves will tumble to defeat
I find myself alone again
On 22nd Street
[Sting:]
Ты увидишь меня, гуляющим по ночным улицам,
Просто идущим на звук моих одиноких ног.
Я отказываюсь что-либо контролировать,
Мой мозг в тактическом отступлении.
Я сомневаюсь, что ты всё ещё живешь здесь,
Но это место заставляет моё сердце биться чаще,
Когда я внезапно оказываюсь
На 22-ой улице.
Все эти годы, начиная с горьковато-сладких, –
Это главы в книге историй.
Она ещё не дописана.
Осенние листья будут падать, чтобы засохнуть,
Но здесь вокруг ничего не изменилось –
На 22-ой улице.
[Shaggy:]
Каждый раз, когда я тут, я вспоминаю,
Что 22-я была местом, где я встретил девушку из своих снов.
Ясным солнечным днём в ноябре
Мне ответили взглядом такие прекрасные глаза...
Моей целью было получить твоё тело,
Но ты идеально подходила на роль жены.
Ты завладела мной
На 22-ой улице, где ты пленила мои сердце и душу.
[Sting:]
Мне снится сон, от которого я не могу избавиться,
Сон, в котором одинокие влюблённые встречаются
На пересечении авеню
И 22-ой улицы.
Уличные музыканты начинают так красиво
Играть на своих скрипках,
Наши ноги сами пускаются в пляс...
Мы должны сделать шаг навстречу друг другу...
Все эти годы, начиная с горьковато-сладких, –
Это главы в волшебной сказке.
Она ещё не дописана.
Осенние листья обречены повторять,
Что здесь вокруг ничего не изменилось –
На 22-ой улице.
[Shaggy:]
Да, каждый раз, когда я тут, я вспоминаю,
Что 22-я была местом, где я встретил девушку из своих снов.
Ясным солнечным днём в ноябре
Мне ответили взглядом такие прекрасные глаза...
Я не смог бы оставить тебя в покое.
Что-то в душе говорило мне, что я должен добиться тебя.
Я впустил тебя в свой мир,
Ты королева моей жизни и наследница моего престола.
[Sting:]
Все эти годы, начиная с горьковато-сладких, –
Это главы в волшебной сказке.
Она ещё не дописана.
Осенние листья будут падать, чтобы засохнуть,
А я снова очутился один
На 22-ой улице.
![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}
