Mastermind 是收錄在 Taylor Swift 新專輯《Midnights》中的歌曲。
歌詞中文翻譯
Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
很久以前，星球和命運
And all the stars aligned
和所有星星都排列整齊
You and I ended up in the same room
你和我在同個空間
At the same time
同個時間相遇
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
手的觸碰點燃了火花
Of a chain reaction of countermoves
引發了後續的連鎖反應
To assess the equation of you
為了估測你的等量
Checkmate, I couldn’t lose
將軍，我不能輸
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
如果我告訴你這一切都不是意外呢?
And the first night that you saw me
你看見我的第一晚
Nothing was gonna stop me
沒有事情能夠阻止我
I laid the groundwork, and then
我部署好一切
Just like clockwork
就像鐘擺
The dominoes cascaded in a line
骨牌排列一線
What if I told you I’m a mastermind?
如果我告訴你我是個策畫者呢
And now you’re mine
現在你是我的了
It was all my design
這一切都是我的設計
‘Cause I’m a mastermind
因為我是個策畫者
You see, all the wisеst women
你瞧，所有聰明的女人
Had to do it this way
都必須這樣做
‘Cause we were born to be the pawn
因為我們生來就是愛情遊戲
In every lover’s game
裡面的典當品
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
如果你的計畫失敗了，那你就是計劃了失敗
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
策略安排了故事的場景
I’m the wind in our free-flowing sails
我是我們航行的風
And the liquor in our cocktails
也是雞尾酒裡的酒精
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
如果我告訴你這一切都不是意外呢?
And the first night that you saw me
你看見我的第一晚
I knew I wanted your body
我知道我渴望你的身體
I laid the groundwork, and then
我部署好一切
Just like clockwork
就像鐘擺
The dominoes cascaded in a line
骨牌排列一線
What if I told you I’m a mastermind?
如果我告訴你我是個策畫者呢
And now you’re mine
現在你是我的了
It was all my design
這一切都是我的設計
‘Cause I’m a mastermind
因為我是個策畫者
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
當我還小時沒人想跟我玩
So I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since
所以我從那時開始就像個罪犯一樣計畫
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
讓他們愛上我並讓這一切看起來毫不費力
This is the first time I’ve felt the need to confess
這是我第一次覺得需要告解
And I swear
我發誓
I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian
我只是神秘又有點馬基維利主義
‘Cause I care
因為我在乎
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
如果我告訴你這一切都不是意外呢?
And the first night that you saw me
你看見我的第一晚
Nothing was gonna stop me
沒有事情能夠阻止我
I laid the groundwork, and then
我部署好一切
Just like clockwork
就像鐘擺
The dominoes cascaded in a line
骨牌排列一線
What if I told you I’m a mastermind?
如果我告訴你我是個策畫者呢
And now you’re mine
現在你是我的了
It was all my design
這一切都是我的設計
‘Cause I’m a mastermind
因為我是個策畫者
