Shape Of My Heart Original Lyrics by Sting

Bölüm 1

Kartları meditasyon olsun diye dağıtıyor
Ve oynadığı kişiler ondan asla şüphe etmiyor
Kazandığı para için oynamıyor
Saygınlık için oynamıyor

Bölüm 2

Cevabı bulmak için kartları dağıtıyor
Şansın kutsal geometrisi
Olası bir sonucun gizli yasası
Sayılar bir dansa öncülük ediyor

Nakarat

Maçaların bir askerin kılıcı olduğunu biliyorum
Sineklerin savaşın silahları olduğunu biliyorum
Karoların bu sanatta para anlamına geldiğini biliyorum
Ama benim kupamın şekli bu değil

Bölüm 3

Karo valesini oynayabilir
Maça kızını serebilir
Elindeki bir papazı saklıyor olabilir
Bir anısı solup giderken

Nakarat

Maçaların bir askerin kılıcı olduğunu biliyorum
Sineklerin savaşın silahları olduğunu biliyorum
Karoların bu sanatta para anlamına geldiğini biliyorum
Ama benim kupamın şekli bu değil

Köprü

Kupamın şekli, şekli bu değil

Armonika Solo

Bölüm 4

Ve eğer sana seni sevdiğimi söyleseydim
Bir şeylerin yanlış gittiğini düşünebilirdin
Ben çok yüzlü bir adam değilim
Takındığım tek maske vardır

Bölüm 5

Ama konuşanlar hiçbir şey bilmiyor
Ve bunu zor yoldan öğreniyor
Tıpkı şanslarını birçok yerde lanetleyen
Ve kaybetmekten korkanlar gibi

Nakarat

Maçaların bir askerin kılıcı olduğunu biliyorum
Sineklerin savaşın silahları olduğunu biliyorum
Karoların bu sanatta para anlamına geldiğini biliyorum
Ama benim kupamın şekli bu değil

Çıkış

Ama benim kupamın şekli bu değil
Kupamın şekli, şekli bu değil

English Translation of Shape Of My Heart

Part 1

He deals the cards as a meditation
And the ones he plays with never doubt him
He doesn’t play for the money he makes
He doesn’t play for the respect

Part 2

He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The secret law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

Chorus

I know spades are a soldier’s sword
I know clubs are weapons of war
I know diamonds mean money in this art
But that’s not the shape of my cup

Part 3

He might play the jack of
diamonds He might lay the queen of spades
He might hide a king in his hand
While a memory fades

Chorus

I know spades are a soldier’s sword
I know clubs are weapons of war
I know diamonds mean money in this art
But that’s not the shape of my cup

Bridge

The shape, that’s not the shape of my cup

Harmonica Solo

Part 4

And if I told you that I loved you
You might think something was wrong
I’m not a man of many faces
There’s only one mask that I wear

Part 5

But those who talk don’t know anything
And learn it the hard way
Just like those who curse their luck in many places
And are afraid to lose

Chorus

I know spades are a soldier’s sword
I know clubs are weapons of war
I know diamonds mean money in this art
But that’s not the shape of my cup

Exit

But that’s not the shape of my cup That’s
not the shape of my cup, that’s not the shape
