The Gambler (Sly’s TAXI Gang Remix)-Kenny Rogers

一个炎热的夏夜 在一列不知开往何方的列车上

I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep

我遇见了一个赌徒 我们都烦闷得睡不着

So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness

于是我们轮流凝视着 车窗外的黑暗

'Til boredom overtook us' and he began to speak

当厌倦袭来他开始说话

He said' "Son' I've made a life out of readin' people's faces

他说 孩子 我一辈子能察言观色

And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes

他们手中握着什么牌 能从人们的眼中看出

So if you don't mind my sayin'' I can see you're out of aces

如果你不介意我所说的 同样 我也能看出你没有王牌

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，他要了一支烟向我借了个火儿

And the night got deathly quiet' and his face lost all expression

夜变得死一般寂静 而他也面无表情

Said' "If you're gonna play the game' boy' ya 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 什么时候扣牌

Know when to walk away and know when to run

什么时候走开 什么时候继续来

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

你决不能数钱

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done

有足够的时间点钞票 在赌局结束后

Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

每个赌徒都知道求生的秘诀

Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep

那就是什么该丢什么该留

'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser

因为每一手牌可能赢也可能输

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep "

而你最好的愿望 不过是到你死在梦中

And when he'd finished speakin' he turned back towards the window

当说完话后 他又转向了车窗

Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep

掐灭了香烟渐渐睡去

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler' he broke even

在黑暗的某个地方 这个赌徒赌了个平局

But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep

在他的最后一句话中 我找到了一张自己能掌握的王牌

You got to know when to hold 'em' know when to fold 'em

你得知道什么时候叫牌 什么时候扣牌

Know when to walk away and know when to run

什么时候走开 什么时候继续来
