The Gambler - Maxdown
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
About twenty years ago
大约二十年前
On a train bound for nowhere
在一列驶向未知的火车上
Met up with the gambler
我遇见了一位赌徒
Both too tired to sleep
我们都疲惫得无法入睡
So we took turns staring
于是我们轮流凝视
At the window at the darkness
窗外的无尽黑暗
Until boredom overtook us
直到无聊占据了我们的心
He commenced 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 reading people's faces
都在解读人们的面孔
And knowing what their cards were
通过他们眼神的细微变化
By the way they held their eyes
来猜测他们手中的牌
So if you don't mind my saying
所以,如果你不介意
I can see you're out of aces
我看得出你已经没有王牌
For taste of your whiskey
为了品尝你的威士忌
I will give you some advice
我愿意给你一些忠告
So I handed him my bottle
我把酒瓶递给了他
And he drank down my last swallow
他喝光了我最后一口酒
Then he bummed a cigarette
然后他借了一支烟
Then asked me for a light
又向我要了个火
And the night got deathly quiet
夜晚变得死一般寂静
And his face lost all expression
他的脸上失去了所有表情
Said if you're going to play the game boy
他说,如果你想玩这个游戏,孩子
Better learn to play it right
最好学会正确地玩
You've got to know when to hold them
你要懂得何时坚持
Know when to fold them
何时放弃
Know when to walk away
何时离开
Know when to run
何时逃跑
You ever count your money
不要在牌局中数钱
While you're sitting at the table
当你坐在牌桌前
There'll be time enough for counting
等到牌局结束再数也不迟
When the dealing is done
当牌局结束时
Every gambler knows
每个赌徒都明白
That the secret to survival
生存的秘诀在于
Is knowing what to throw away
懂得何时舍弃
And knowing what to keep
也懂得何时坚持
Every hand's a winner
每一手牌都是赢家
Every hand's a loser
每一手牌也是输家
And the best that you can hope for
而你所能期望的最好结局
Is to die in your sleep
就是在睡梦中安然离世
And when he finished speaking
当他讲完这番话
Turned back toward the window
转身望向窗外
Crushed out his cigarette
掐灭了手中的烟
Faded off to sleep
渐渐沉入梦乡
Somewhere in the darkness
在黑暗的某处
The gambler he broke even
赌徒终于不输不赢
But in his final words
但他最后的话语
I found an ace that I could keep
却是我能珍藏的至宝
You've got to know when to hold them
你要懂得何时坚持
Know when to fold them
何时放弃
Know when to walk away
