Shape Of My Heart - Sting
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 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 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.
But 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.
- Notas: Es una canción que se hizo famosa al formar parte de la banda sonora de la película "Leon: The Professional". En esta canción, el autor habla de un jugador de póker profesional capaz de esconder sus emociones por completo y tan obsesionado con entender su juego, que llega al punto de perder al amor de su vida sin mostrar ninguna emoción. Este jugador de póker es simplemente una metáfora de la pasión del cantante por la música hasta el punto de que su carrera eclipse todas las demás áreas de su vida. Al igual que el jugador de póker, nadie puede entender realmente lo que él siente y vive (nadie es capaz de ver "the shape of my heart").
