Intro
《Shape of My Heart》 是老牌摇滚歌手 Sting 的经典作品,1994 年经典电影《这个杀手不太冷》的片尾曲,用纸牌占卜寓意的四种花色隐喻对权力、金钱、武力、人心做出的选择,吟唱一个孤独的人穷尽一生对真心的追求,当遇到那个彻底改变你的人,最深沉的心事被触碰,坚硬的防护被融化,才终于看见“心的形状”。

Lyrics
【Verse1 | 第 1 段】
He deals the card as a meditation
他玩纸牌 如深深冥想
And those he plays never suspect
他打牌从不迟疑
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
他打牌不是为了所赢的钱
He don’t play for respect
也不是为了获得尊重
He deals the cards to find the answer
他在牌局中寻觅答案
The sacred geometry of chance
那神秘几何中的偶然
The hidden law of a probable outcome
还有那飘忽结局背后的隐匿之弦
The numbers lead a dance
数字偏偏起舞
【Chorus | 副歌】
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
我明白黑桃如士兵手握的利剑
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
梅花似战场轰鸣的武器
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
这艺术般游戏里 方块如到手的金钱
But that’s not the shape of my heart
但那不是我红桃(心)的形状
【Verse 2 | 第 2 段】
He may play the jack of diamonds
他可能会出方块 J
He may lay the queen of spades
又或许 他会下注黑桃 Q
He may conceal a king in his hand
抑或将手中的 K 隐藏
While the memory of it fades
但这些记忆 终将褪色
【Chorus | 副歌】
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
我明白黑桃如士兵手握的利剑
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
梅花似战场轰鸣的武器
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
这艺术般游戏里 方块如到手的金钱
But that’s not the shape of my heart
但那不是我红桃(心)的形状
But that’s not the shape, shape of my heart
但那不是我红桃(心)的形状
【Verse 3 | 第 3 段】
And if I told you that I loved you
如果我对你说我爱你
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
你可能会有些许困惑
I’m not a man of too many faces
我不是善变的人
The mask I wear is one
我始终如一
Well, those who speak know nothing
那些多言却无知的人们
And find out to their cost
斤斤计较眼前得失
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
如同四处抱怨命运者
And those who fear are lost
戚戚于失
【Chorus | 副歌】
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
我明白黑桃如士兵手握的利剑
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
梅花似战场轰鸣的武器
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
这艺术般游戏里 方块如到手的金钱
But that’s not the shape of my heart
但那不是我红桃(心)的形状
But that’s not the shape of my heart
但那不是我红桃(心)的形状
That’s not the shape, shape of my heart
那不是我红桃(心)的形状
