歌词
On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere
一个炎热的夏夜坐在不知道将开往何方的列车上
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
我遇见了一个赌徒 我们都烦倦的无法入眠
So we took turns a-staring out the window at the darkness
于是我们轮番凝视窗外的的黑暗
The boredom overtook us, and he began to speak
直到我们都感到厌倦 他开始说话
He said, son I've made my life out of reading people's faces
他说:“孩子,我一辈子能察言观色
And knowing what the cards were by the way they held their eyes
能从言行举止中看出他们手中握着什么样的牌
So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces
所以如果你不介意我说的,我也看得出你没有王牌
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice
让我喝一口你的威士忌我将给你一些忠告。”
So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow
于是我递过我的酒瓶 他喝下了最后一口酒
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
然后他要了一支烟又向我借了个火
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression
夜晚变得死一般寂静 而他也面无表情
Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right
他说:“如果你打算玩这个游戏,孩子,你必须学会如何玩好它
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
你得知道什么时候叫牌,什么时候弃牌
Know when to walk away, know when to run
知道什么时候该离开,什么时候该回来
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
当你还在赌桌的时候你绝对不能数钱
There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done
在赌局结束之后你有足够时间点钞
每一个赌徒都知道生存的秘诀
Now, every gambler knows, the secret to survivin'
就是知道什么时候该丢 什么时候该留
Is knowing what to throw away, knowing what to keep
因为每一手牌都可能赢也可能输
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
而你最好的愿望不过是在睡梦中死去
And the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep
当他说完话后他转身背靠着车窗
So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back toward the window
掐灭了香烟渐渐睡去
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
在黑暗中的某个地方 这个赌徒赌了个平局
Then somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even
(因为)在他最后的几句话中我找到了一张自己能掌握的王牌
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
你得知道什么时候展露锋芒 什么时候以退为进
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
什么时候积蓄力量 什么时候乘胜追击
Know when to walk away, know when to run
还没有结束时 你不能沾沾自喜
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
结束之后你大可庆祝胜利
There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done
你得知道什么时候展露锋芒 什么时候以退为进
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
什么时候积蓄力量 什么时候乘胜追击
Know when to walk away, know when to run
还没有结束时 你不能沾沾自喜
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
结束之后你大可庆祝胜利
There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done
