Shape Of My Heart

Sting


He deals the cards as a meditation 1 and those he plays never suspect 

He doesn't play for the money he wins. He don't play for respect 

He deals the cards to find the answer, the sacred geometry of chance 

The hidden law of a probable outcome. The numbers lead a dance

 

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier 

I know that the clubs are weapons of war 

I know that diamonds mean money for this art 

But that's not the shape of my heart


He may play the jack 2 of diamonds. He may lay the queen of spades 

He may conceal 3 a king in his hand while the memory of it fades


I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier 

I know that the clubs are weapons of war 

I know that diamonds mean money for this art 

But that's not the shape of my heart, that's not the shape of my heart

 

And if I told you that I loved you you'd maybe think there's something wrong 

I'm not a man of too many faces. The mask I wear is one 

Well, those who speak know nothing and find out to their cost 

Like those who curse their luck in too many places and those who fear are lost




I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier 

I know that the clubs are weapons of war 

I know that diamonds mean money for this art 

But that's not the shape of my heart, that's not the shape of my heart




参考译文


他小心翼翼的出牌,从不让人察觉。他并不为钱赢而玩牌,也不为赢得尊敬

他出牌为了寻找答案,寻找幸运的神圣机率(数字游戏中寻找心的形状)

寻找那可能结果中隐藏的法则。那些数字在领舞


我知道黑桃是士兵的利剑,我知道梅花是战争的武器(黑桃梅花是牌手的王牌)

我明白方片在这游戏中意味着金钱。但这不是我心的形状


他也许会出方片杰克(方块J)(jack是扑克牌中的J,就是仆人和士兵的意思)

他也许会出黑桃皇后(黑桃Q)(他可以打权力的皇后这张牌)

他可以使小花招藏起王(K),接着真的忘了自己有K


我知道黑桃是士兵的利剑,我知道梅花是战争的武器

我明白方片在这游戏中意味着金钱。但这不是我心的形状,这不是我心的形状


如果我告诉你我爱你,你也许会认为一定是哪里出了错

我不是一个有着太多虚伪面孔的男人,我的面具只有一个

好吧,那些发言的人其实什么也不知道,他们最终会付出代价

就像有些人到处说自己不幸,还有那些退缩的人,他们都已迷失


我知道黑桃是士兵的利剑,我知道梅花是战争的武器

我明白方片在这游戏中意味着金钱。但这不是我心的形状,这不是我心的形状
