I watch the western sky
The sun is sinking
The geese are flying south
It sets me thinking
I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me
Just made me tougher
I feel the winter come
His icy sinews
Now in the fire light
The case continues
Another night in court
The same old trial
The same old questions asked
The same denial
The shadows closely run
Like jury members
I look for answers in
The fire's embers
Why was I missing then
That whole December
I give my usual line:
I don't remember
Another winter comes
His icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine
These memories never sleep
And all these differences
A cloak I borrow
We kept our distances
Why should it follow
I must have loved you
What is the force that binds the stars
I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that pulls the tide
I never could find a place to hide
What moves the earth around the sun
What could I do but run and run and run
Afraid to love, afraid to fail
A mast without a sail
The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking
Another day begins and now I'm thinking
That this indifference was my invention
When everything I did sought your attention
You were my compass star
You were my measure
You were a pirate's map
A buried treasure
If this was all correct
The last thing I'd expect
The prosecution rests
It's time that I confess:
I must have loved you
Я наблюдаю за западным небом:
Солнце опускается,
Гуси летят на юг,
Это наводит меня на размышления.
Я не скучал по тебе очень сильно,
Я не страдал,
Что не убило меня,
Лишь сделало меня сильнее.
Я чувствую приближение зимы
Её ледяную силу
Сейчас в огне костра
Рассмотрение дела продолжается.
Еще одна ночь в суде:
Всё тот же судебный процесс,
Всё те же вопросы,
Всё тот же отказ.
Тени подобрались близко,
Подобно присяжным.
А я ищу ответы
В дотлевающих угольках.
Почему я отсутствовал тогда,
Весь тот декабрь?
Я даю свой обычный ответ:
Я не помню.
Новая зима приближается.
Прикосновение её ледяных пальцев
Пробирает до костей.
Эти воспоминания никогда не уснут,
И все они различны.
Под предлогом, мной заимствованным,
Мы держимся на расстоянии.
Почему из этого должно следовать,
Что я любил тебя?
Что за сила связывает звезды?
Я надел эту маску, чтобы спрятать шрамы.
Что за энергия управляет приливами?
Я никогда не найду места, чтобы спрятаться.
Что движет Землю вокруг Солнца?
Что ещё я мог делать, кроме как бежать и бежать,
Боясь любви, боясь провала...
Я отплываю без паруса....
Луна, похожая на ноготь, медленно садится,
Очередной день настает, и теперь я думаю,
Что равнодушие было моей выдумкой,
Когда я делал все, чтобы добиться твоего внимания.
Ты была моей путеводной звездой,
Ты была моим пределом,
Ты была моей пиратской картой
Зарытых сокровищ.
И если все это было правдой,
То последнее, что я могу ожидать —
Что обвинение успокоится.
И это время, когда я признаю:
Похоже, я всё-таки любил тебя...
![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}
