“The Joker and the Queen” 是Ed Sherran 新專輯 = (Equals)中第6首歌。
這首歌獻給他的太太Cherry Seaborn,在他人生的低潮中,一直陪在他的身邊。太太總能看見Ed最好的那面,儘管身邊不乏有其他選擇,卻堅定選擇與他攜手過下半輩子。Ed Sherran用撲克牌的象徵貫穿整首歌,將自己比喻為鬼牌的小丑(Joker),而太太是皇后(The Queen),隱喻兩個原應註定不會相識的命運。
Ed Sheeran – The Joker And The Queen|中文歌詞翻譯
How was I to know? It’s a crazy thing
當初我怎麼會知道? 說來也瘋狂
I showed you my hand and you still let me win
我給妳看了我手中僅有的牌,妳卻還是讓我贏
And who was I to say that this was meant to be?
而我又有什麼立場能說這是命中註定的呢?
The road that was broken brought us together
是那崎嶇不平的過去讓我們相遇
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
我明白其實你可以愛上其它千百位國王
And hearts that would give you a diamond ring
可以把妳的心交給能夠給妳鑽戒的人
When I fold, you see the best in me
當我棄牌時,妳卻能發現我最好的一面
The joker and the queen
小丑與皇后
I was upside down from the outside in
那時我從裡到外都上下顛倒
You came to the table and you went all in
你來到牌桌前把所有籌碼全下注了
With a single word and a gentle touch
一個詞和一個溫柔的碰觸
You turned a moment into forever
你就將這瞬間化成永恆
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
我明白其實你可以愛上其它千百位國王
And hearts that would give you a diamond ring
可以把妳的心交給能夠給妳鑽戒的人
When I fold, you see the best in me
當我棄牌時,妳卻能發現我最好的一面
The joker and the queen
小丑與皇后
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
我明白其實你可以愛上其它千百位國王
And hearts that would give you a diamond ring
可以把妳的心交給能夠給妳鑽戒的人
When I fold, you saw the best in me
當我棄牌時,那時的妳卻能發現我最好的一面
The joker and the queen
小丑與皇后
The joker and the queen
小丑與皇后
