# 警察乐队（The Police） - Roxanne



谁能想到一首连乐队成员们自己都没有信心能成功的单曲，会于再次发行的时候直跻英国单曲榜（UK Singles Chart）前列？

1977年秋，乐队主唱Sting在巴黎的一家小旅馆附近偶遇一名妓女，从而获得灵感，创作了这一首Roxanne。歌名Roxanne也是借用了小旅馆墙上贴着的海报——《大鼻子情圣》这部喜剧中女主角的名字。

歌曲从一名与妓女坠入爱河的男性视角展开，以探戈式的节奏加之无调性钢琴和弦推进。

该曲在1978年时以单曲形式第一次发行，并于1979年再次收录为乐队专辑《Outlandos d’Amour》中A面的第三首，且一举打入英美各大榜单前列（Billboard Hot 100 Chart #32 & UK Singles Chart #12）。

自此，该曲成为The Police乐队和Sting单人活动时的必唱曲目，且被收录于The Police的所有精选集中。

# 警察乐队（The Police） - Roxanne 歌词

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since I knew ya
I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

You know my mind is made up
So put away your make-up
Told you once I won't tell you again, "It's a bad way"

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

{But she did anyway}

Loved you since I knew ya
I wouldn't talk down to ya
Don't you want someone tellin' you again?
I won't share you with another boy

You know my mind is made up
So put away your make-up
Told you once I won't tell you again, it's a bad way

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
