The best part

[@user-xs2zm3un3w]

There's quite deep subtle meaning. The song isn't only about immigrants, it's rather about all people who are not like others in any society. I love this song especially because of "be yourself no matter what they say". Melody's moving as well.

Александр Волков I thought that was obvious. It ain’t exactly subtle, y’all need to learn the difference between reading between the lines and the orator veritably saying it

[@saracollins676]

Exactly!

The saxo, the base, the vocal and rithm makes this song a clasic. One of my favorites from Sting and the Police.

[@angelesrubioandreu5390]

What does he mean with this phrase? Why It tales a man yo suffer ignorancia and smile? What does he refere to?

[@alessandragazzaniga466]

@@angelesrubioandreu5390 I think he means that you act in an superior way when you don't react with violence to an offense (a man doesn't need a GUN to prove he's a man) , when you don't give importance to people's opinion, you just smile and walk away. What is important is to be true to yourself and what you belive in. This in how a real man acts.

[@_Zeno_515]

Lovely song. What wisdom! I love " be yourself and no matters what they say" that mean be authentic, true, and " a gentleman will walk but never runs" that means we must remain worthy even in defeat. These should be our values. My hats off to Mr Sting!

[@e.o.a101]

'Takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile' Wow 😮 powerful lyrics, it means it's your reaction to things that matters, if you don't allow peoples ignorance to offend you and you just smile as a way of ignoring it, then it makes you the bigger person. Or in this case a gentlemen. .....that verse that has that part is really good.The whole lyrical content of this song is amazing though 👌👍....it's as if it teaches you something and gives you valuable information,also speaks about individuality and the enviroment too.

[@helavisaa]

i adore this song!!from russia (denmark))))) i really understand what Sting means in this song.. modesty, propriety, gentleness, sobriety....these words should be the main words in everyone's life....

4.03 till fade. That's the most soothing and enjoyable piece of music you can ever imagine to come up into your ears. It gently whispers up into your brain, spreading a relieved, happy and euphoric aura scattering towards your whole body and triggers a feeling of being cheerful and joy.

Marshall... How hard it was for me to learn that lesson. It takes real maturity....In the Divine comedy Dante accompanied by Virgil in the depth of Hell met the tormented souls who in pain cursed them...

No song has ever described me that way. I feel like that at school - I am that polite, cute, classy lady. "Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this Society. At night a candle's brighter than the sun." Also that quiet tember of Sting that sounds so beautiful gives hope to me, who am learning to sing and have a very silent voice.

[@marieblue]

Haven’t we all presumed that the “Englishman in New York” (1987-1988) was Sting himself⁉️ Well, in fact, the song is about iconic author Quentin Crisp and his outcasting after he moved to New York. Sting had met Crisp and the latter facetiously told the singer-songwriter that he looked forward to obtaining his naturalisation papers so that he could commit a crime and not be deported. What kind of crime? Crisp’s tongue-in-cheek reply : “Something glamorous, non violent, with a dash of style. Crime is so rarely glamorous these day.” CLASSIC ENGLISH HUMOUR‼️ 🇬🇧💙🗽

I met a fellow (an Englishman) at a Dutch party tonight in Venice who said this song is about Quentin Crisp. Is it? Quentin and my mother hit it off in NYC art galleries in the 80s. She was solidly suburban so I was surprised (though I don't know why) to see them get on so.

[@MissPurpur]

It took me a long time to notice it myself, I've heard it on the radio and my former grade school teacher loved blasting this song in class and I never noticed. Until I listened attentively on my headphones when I downloaded it. Maybe the noise isn't there on a live version. Oughta check that out.
