<1. 歌手 & 背景介绍>
斯汀原名Gordon Sumner,1951年10月2日出生于英格兰的沃尔森德,Sting 是那件他演出时常穿带毛刺的毛衣的外号。Sting成长于荒废的工业城市纽卡斯尔,父亲是个送奶工人,母亲则是一名美容师。母亲曾受过古典钢琴的专业训练,这使Sting从小就受到音乐的熏陶。他的少年时代就迷恋音乐,崇拜乐坛有成就的人物。在母亲的教导下,Sting成为了一个钢琴高手,还获得了钢琴奖学金。Sting本来很喜欢爵士乐,投身到摇滚乐坛纯属偶然。他是警察乐队(the Police)的领头人。作为乐队的作曲、主唱和电贝司,他与来自英国的吉它手安迪. 萨莫斯(Andy Summers)和美国的鼓手斯图尔特.科普兰德(Stewart Copeland)一起组成了这支乐队,并于70年代后期将它发展成为最著名的新浪潮乐队。
警察乐队成立于1977年1月,起初在英国巡回演出,但反应平平。直到1978年,他们到了美国之后才平步青云。
从80年代末开始,Sting经常涉足政界,用进行巡回演出的款项来资助印第安人争取生活的自由。
进入90年代以来,Sting多次获得格莱美大奖,成为全球最有影响的艺人之一。
<2. 歌词>
Every breath you take
Every move (1) you make
Every bond (2) you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you
Oh can’t you see
You belong to (3) me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow (4) you break
Every smile you fake (5)
Every claim you stake (6)
I’ll be watching you
Since you’ve gone
I been lost without a trace (7)
I dream at night
I can only see your face
I look around
but it’s you I can’t replace (8)
I feel so cold
and I long for (9) your embrace (10)
I keep crying baby baby please
Oh can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you
