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

19 Sting - Shape of My Heart
Ten Summoner's Tales - 1993

"La forma de mi corazón" (en castellano) es una canción del músico inglés Sting. Fue lanzado en agosto de 1993 como el quinto simple del álbum Ten Summoner's Tales. La canción fue co-escrita por el guitarrista Dominic Miller.  Sting explicó que a través de "Shape of My Heart", quería contar la historia de un "jugador de cartas, un jugador que apuesta no para ganar sino para tratar de descubrir algo; para descubrir algún tipo de lógica mística en la suerte, o casualidad, algún tipo de ley científica, casi religiosa ".


Dice, reconozco todos los símbolos, y todo encaja... pero el de mi corazón, no. No es la forma de mi corazón en el sentido de que no estoy completamente determinado, no hay ningún símbolo que sea perfecto para mí, sino que yo sigo cambiando.

Varias de las canciones que figuran en esta lista las escuche en los créditos finales de distintas películas que he visto,en este caso la canción se usó para el film Léon, con Jean Reno y Natalie Portman, y dentro de la película Three of Hearts de 1993.


He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don'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 a loss

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
