《The Joker And The Queen》表达的是Ed Sheeran喜欢上了一个女神，或者说是暗恋，然后自己觉得配不上女神，开始加戏抒发自己的想法，认为自己不配。在这首歌里，坠入情网的少年面对心爱的人，感觉自己一无是处，像皇后驾前的小丑一样，可笑而无足轻重。因此，他决定放弃这不可能的爱情。世界竟是如此疯狂，在他绝望地放弃追求这一刻，皇后无视石榴裙下众多追求者，偏偏垂青于这个小丑，接受了他卑微的爱情。歌曲歌词How was I to know我如何知晓It"s a crazy thing实在太疯狂了I showed you my hand我让你看了所有底牌And you still let me win你依然让我赢了And who was I to say我又如何去说That this was meant to be我们是命中注定The road that was broken这条破碎的道路Brought us together竟让我们汇合And I know而我知道You could fall for a thousand kings你明明有成千上万个国王可以去爱And hearts和那些真心的人That would give you a diamond ring他们愿意给你钻石戒指When I fold当我选择弃牌You see the best in me你却看到我最好的样子The joker and the queen小丑和皇后I"ve been played before我曾被玩弄过If you hadn"t guessed如果你还不懂So I kept my cards closed因此我不曾泄露底牌To my foolproof vest以求万无一失的自保But you called my bluff但你发现我在虚张声势And saw through all my tells通过观察我所有表现And then you went all in然后你押上真心And we left together我们一同离开了游戏And I know而我知道You think that what makes a king你以为要成为我心中的国王Is gold要有黄金A palace and diamond rings宫殿和钻石戒指When I fold当我弃牌You see the best in me你却看到我最好的样子The joker and the queen小丑和皇后And I know而我知道You could fall for a thousand kings你明明可以为成千上万个国王可以沦陷And hearts还有那些真心的人That would give you a diamond ring他们能够给你钻石戒指When I folded当我弃牌You saw the best in me你看到了我最好的样子The joker and the queen小丑和皇后The joker and the queen小丑和皇后
