Sting with Dominic Miller
“Shape Of My Heart”, 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(s) 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”

Spades / Clubs
Diamonds / Hearts

to deal cards - сдавать карты
to suspect - предполагать, подозревать
sacred - сакральный, свящённый
an outcome - исход, результат
to lead a dance - морочить голову, водить за нос
a sword - меч
shape of heart - то, к чему лежит душа, по душе (дословно - форма сердца )
