Shape of My Heart
(佚名 译)
He deals the cards as a meditation
他玩纸牌时似乎在冥想
And those he plays never suspect
他的对手从来没有怀疑过这点
He doesn't play for the money he wins
他玩牌并非为了赢得金钱
He doesn't play for respect
也不是为了得到人们的尊重
He deals the cards to find the answer
他在牌局中寻觅答案
The sacred geometry of chance
寻觅神秘的几何概率
The hidden law of probable outcome
那可能的结果中隐藏的法则
The numbers lead a dance
牌局中数字决定了一切(字面意思:数字如同引出一场舞蹈)
I know the spades are the swords of a soldier
我明白黑桃如士兵手握的利剑
I know the clubs are weapons of war
梅花似战场轰鸣的炮枪
I know the diamonds mean money for this art
牌局艺术里方块便若到手的金钱(字面意思:我知道那些方块意味着财富)
But that's not the shape of my heart
但这决不是红桃的形状(字面意思:但那皆非我心之形)
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
也可能手里藏了一张K
While the memory of it fades
然而同局者终将遗忘这张牌(而这些记忆终将消褪)
重唱:
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, the shape of my heart
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
你会有些许困惑
I'm not a man of too many faces
我并不是善变的人
The mask I wear is one
我的面具 始终如一
Those who speak know nothing
多言的牌手一无所知(那些多言而无知的人们啊)
And find out to their cost
斤斤计较眼前得失(他们一定会为此付出代价)
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
就像那些到处诅咒命运的人
And those who fear lost
和那些害怕失去一切的人
重唱:
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, the shape of my heart
注:sting在这里双重使用“heart”,heart既有“心”的意思也有“红桃”的意思。一词双关,歌词写得何其精彩!
