Old enough to be her dad
But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances
And she was flattered by his charm
It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances
He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen
Anything she ever wanted
It was no problem for a man like him
And everyone expected soon
That she could ask him for the moon
If she would wear his ring
Knowing glances from his friends
In the homes at the weekends of high society
But he didn't give a damn
He never felt more like a man
And all the time the clock was ticking
And all would envy the older man
And his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy
In a house upon a hill
She was there with time to kill
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
The life was never what it seemed
To all her friends that she'd ignored
She denied she was bored
She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing
But the clock upon the wall
That was ticking in the hall
Always reminded her
That life was going on as well
But she was happy and she would swear
She wouldn't change a thing
And all would envy the older man
And his beautiful young wife
Yes, all would envy
Now it's 5 o'clock am
She must have spent the night again
With that old friend of her
She loves to dance
She's missing more and more these days
But he's still stuck in his old ways
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
She must be home soon
Where a younger man would weep
He takes a pill and goes to sleep
Now who would envy the older man
And his beautiful young wife
Who would envy?
Who would envy?
Он годится ей в отцы,
Но молодые люди, словно помешанные, нянчатся со своими обидами.
И она была очарована его шармом.
Это не принесет ей вреда, у каждого из них был свой шанс.
Он посылал ей цветы и лимузины,
Обращался с ней как с королевой.
Все, чего бы она ни пожелала, —
Не составило бы особого труда для такого мужчины, как он.
И вскоре уже все полагали,
Что она может попросить у него даже луну с неба,
Если примет его предложение
Понимающие взгляды его друзей
На светских приемах в выходные,
Но ему было наплевать —
Он никогда еще не чувствовал себя настолько мужчиной.
И все то время, что тикают эти часы,
Каждый бы позавидовал этому немолодому мужчине
И его красивой молодой жене
Да, любой бы позавидовал!
В доме на холмах,
Там ей совершенно нечем было заняться.
Она жила той жизнью, о которой могла только мечтать;
Ее жизнь была совершенно не такой, какой она казалась
Всем ее друзьям, которых она игнорировала.
Она отрицала, что ей скучно.
У нее не было времени на танцы, не было времени на танцы
Но эти часы на стене,
Что тикали в коридоре,
Все время напоминали ей,
Что жизнь проходит.
Но она была счастлива и могла поклясться,
Что не захотела бы ничего менять
И каждый бы позавидовал этому немолодому мужчине
И его красивой молодой жене
Да, любой бы позавидовал!
Сейчас уже 5 часов утра,
Должно быть, она проводит эту ночь снова
Со своими старыми приятелями —
Она обожает танцевать.
Она все больше и больше отсутствует в последнее время,
Но он застрял в своем старомодном мире.
Возможно, ей требуется немного больше романтики.
Но эти часы на стене все еще тикают в коридоре.
Она должна уже скоро приехать домой.
Молодой мужчина на его месте зарыдал бы,
А он принимает таблетку и ложится спать.
Теперь кто позавидует этому немолодому мужчине
И его красивой молодой жене?
Кто позавидует?
Кто позавидует?
![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}
