Shape Of My Heart - Sting

谢谢亲爱的妹子,感动( •̥́ ˍ •̀ू )

八月谜情:

 @摩城魅影 太太的《CARDS》跟这首歌似乎有呼应……

Shape of My Heart 是老牌摇滚歌手Sting的经典作品。被收录在其专辑《十个传奇》中。同时此曲还是1994年电影《这个杀手不太冷》(法语Leon 英语 Professional)中的片尾曲。此曲将纸牌中的四种花色分别对应成权力(梅花)、金钱(方片)、武力(黑桃),心(红桃)。"heart"一语双关,反映了杀手孤独的内心,配合上Sting低沉略带沙哑的声音,被演绎得天衣无缝。


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 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

梅花似战场轰鸣的炮枪

I know that 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)

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

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!
