这首歌是电影《这个杀手不太冷》(Leon-The Professional)的主题曲。这部经典的电影,我想不用介绍了吧。如果你还没看过,那我强烈推荐你去看。 Shape of my heart起源于占卜的纸牌本来就含着些命运的深意,被诗人般的歌手配成电影的片尾曲,天衣无缝——心,该是鲜红跳动的桃形,扑克牌中只有红桃像它,那是爱的象征。权力(黑桃)、金钱(方片)、武力(梅花)都非我心所愿。而只有真心,只有爱,是我一直所追求的。 歌曲就是Leon的内心独白。一个职业杀手,生活在自己的世界里。曾经有过刻骨铭心的爱,可在永远失去爱人后,开始了一个人的旅程。不知道他为什么选择杀手这条路。对于杀手,爱只是个包袱。他习惯独来独往,一个人去超市,一个人喝牛奶,一个人坐在椅子上,睁着一只眼睛睡觉,无牵无挂。可是,在他为马蒂尔达开门的那一刻,一切都变了。 大都看完电影的人包括我,都会思考,Leno对马蒂尔达究竟是什么样的感情,可以说是父亲、朋友、情人……不过这些都不重要,不管是哪一种爱,都出自内心最深处。就像歌直到最后,也没有说出究竟什么才是心的形状。
试听:Shape of my heart-Sting
歌词: He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn’t play for the money he wins He doesn’t play for the respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of 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 of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal 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, 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 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 That’s not the shape, the shape of my heart
