Composed by:Don Schlitz
On a warm Summer's eve
在温暖的夏夜
On a train bound for nowhere
一列不知去向的火车上
I met up with the gambler
我遇见了一位赌徒
We were both too tired to sleep
我们都疲惫得无法入睡
So we took turns a starin'
于是我们轮流凝视
Out the window at the darkness
窗外无边的黑暗
The boredom overtook us
厌倦渐渐袭来
And he began 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' people's faces
都在解读人们的表情
Knowin' what the cards were
通过眼神的微妙变化
By the way they held their eyes
就能看透手中的牌
So if you don't mind me sayin'
若你不介意我直言
I can see you're out of aces
我看你已无王牌在手
For a taste of your whiskey
用你一口威士忌的代价
I'll give you some advice
让我给你些忠告
So I handed him my bottle
我将酒瓶递到他手中
And he drank down my last swallow
他饮尽我最后一口酒
Then he bummed a cigarette
又向我讨了支香烟
And asked me for a light
问我借个火
And the night got deathly quiet
夜色忽然死寂
And his faced lost all expression
他面容凝固如雕像
He said if you're gonna play the game boy
他说若想入局闯荡
You gotta learn to play it right
就得先学会规矩章法
You've got to know when to hold 'em
你要懂得何时该坚持
Know when to fold 'em
也要明白何时该放弃
Know when to walk away
知道何时该转身离去
And know when to run
更懂得何时该逃离
You never count your money
千万别在牌桌上
When you're sittin' at the table
就忙着计算得失
There'll be time enough for countin'
等到赌局结束之后
When the dealin's done
有的是时间清点
Every gambler knows
每个赌徒都明白
That the secret to survivin'
生存的秘诀在于
Is knowin' what to throw away
懂得何时放手
And knowin' what to keep
也懂得何时坚守
'Cause every hand's a winner
因为每手牌都可能赢
And every hand's a loser
每手牌也都可能输
And the best that you can hope for is to die
你所能期待的最好结局
In your sleep
就是在睡梦中安详离去
And when he finished speakin'
当他说完这番话
He turned back toward the window
转身望向窗外
Crushed out his cigarette
掐灭了手中香烟
And faded off to sleep
渐渐沉入梦乡
And somewhere in the darkness
在某个黑暗角落
The gambler he broke even
赌徒终得失相当
And in his final words
而他最后的箴言
I found an ace that I could keep
成为我珍藏的王牌
You've got to know when to hold 'em
你要懂得何时该坚持
Know when to fold 'em
也要明白何时该放弃
Know when to walk away
知道何时该转身离去
And know when to run
更懂得何时该逃离
