On a warm summer's evenin'
在温暖夏日的黄昏里
On a train bound for nowhere
一列开往虚无的列车上
I met up with the gambler
我遇见那位赌徒
We were both too tired to sleep
我们都疲惫得无法入睡
So we took turns to stairrin' out the window at the darkness
于是轮流凝望窗外无边的黑暗
Till boredom over took us
直到倦意将我们吞没
And he begun to speak
他开始娓娓道来
He said son I've made a life
他说孩子 我这一生
Out of readin' peoples faces
从人们的面容中读出端倪
And knowing what their cards were
洞悉他们手中的底牌
By the way they held their eyes
只需观察他们的眼神
So if you don't mind me saying
若你不介意我直言
I can see you're out of aces
看得出你已无王牌可打
For the taste of your whisky
为换你一口威士忌
I'll give you some advice
我愿赠你几句忠告
So I handed him my bottle
于是我将酒瓶递给了他
And he drank down my last swallow
他饮尽我杯中最后一滴酒
And he bummed a cigarrete
又向我讨了支烟
And asked me for a light
借个火点燃
And the night dark gettin' quiet
夜色渐深万籁俱寂
And his face lost all expression
他忽然敛去所有表情
Said if you gonna play the game
说道若想入局博弈
Boy you gotta learn to play it right
小子你得先学会规矩
You got to know when to hold 'em
要懂得何时紧握不放
Know when to fold 'em
懂得何时该收手
Know when to walk away
懂得何时该离开
Know when to run
懂得何时该逃离
You never count your money while sitting at the table
牌桌上别急着数钱
They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done
等牌局结束再清算不迟
Every gambler knows that the secret to surviving
每个赌徒都明白生存之道
Is knowing what to throw in and knowing what to keep
在于懂得取舍
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hands a looser
因为每手牌都可能赢也可能输
And the best that you can hope
你所能期盼的最好结局
For is to dyin' to sleep
不过是安然长眠
And when he finished speaking
当他说完这番话
He turned back towards the window
便转身望向窗外
Crushed down his cigarette faded off to sleep
掐灭烟头 渐渐沉入梦乡
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler
黑暗中的某个角落 那位赌徒
He broke even but in his final words I found
最终不输不赢 但临终之言
A message I could keep
却让我铭记终生
You got to know when to hold 'em
要懂得何时紧握不放
Know when to fold 'em
懂得何时该收手
Know when to walk away
懂得何时该离开
Know when to run
懂得何时该逃离
You never count your money while sitting at the table
牌桌上别急着数钱
They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done
等牌局结束再清算不迟
You got to know when to hold 'em
要懂得何时紧握不放
Know when to fold 'em
懂得何时该收手
Know when to walk away
懂得何时该离开
Know when to run
懂得何时该逃离
You never count your money while sitting at the table
牌桌上别急着数钱
They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done
等牌局结束再清算不迟
You got to know when to hold 'em
要懂得何时紧握不放
Know when to fold 'em
懂得何时该收手
Know when to walk away
懂得何时该离开
Know when to run
懂得何时该逃离
You never count your money while sitting at the table
牌桌上别急着数钱
They will be time enough for countin' when the deal is done
