Tekst piosenki
On a warm summer’s eve
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us And he began to speak
He said, «Son, I’ve made a life
Out of readin' people’s faces
Knowin' what their cards say
By the way they held their eyes
And if you don’t mind me sayin'
I can see you’re out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey
I’ll give you some advice
So I handed him my bottle
And he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette
And asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet
And his face lost all expression
He said, «If you’re gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right
You’ve got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you’re sittin' at the table
There’ll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin’s done
Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand’s a winner
And every hand’s a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die
in your sleep
And when he finished speakin'
He turned back toward the window
Crushed out his cigarette
And faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep
You’ve got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you’re sittin' at the table
There’ll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin’s done
You’ve got to know when to hold 'em (when to hold 'em)
Know when to fold 'em (when to fold 'em)
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you’re sittin' at the table (at the table)
There’ll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin’s done
You’ve got to know when to hold 'em (when to hold 'em)
Know when to fold 'em (when to fold 'em)
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you’re sittin' at the table (at the table)
There’ll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin’s done
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
On a warm summer ' s eve
On a train bound for nowhere
Spotkałem się z hazardzistą.
Oboje byliśmy zbyt zmęczeni, by spać.
# So we took turns a-starin' #
Out the window at the darkness
Znudziła nas nuda i zaczął mówić
Powiedział: "Synu, ułożyłem sobie życie.
Out of readin 'people' s faces
Knowin ' what their cards say
By the way they hold their eyes
I jeśli nie masz nic przeciwko, że powiem
Widzę, że skończyły Ci się Asy.
"For a taste of your whiskey"
Dam ci radę.
Więc dałem mu moją butelkę.
I wypił moją ostatnią łyk
Potem zapalił papierosa.
I poprosił mnie o ogień.
A noc stała się śmiertelnie cicha
I jego twarz straciła całą ekspresję
Powiedział:
You gotta learn to play it right
You 've got to know when to hold' em
"Know when to fold 'em"
"Know when to walk away"
And know when to run
Nigdy nie liczysz swoich pieniędzy.
When you 're sittin' at the table
Będzie czas na liczenie.
"When the dealin 's done"
Każdy hazardzista wie
Że sekret przetrwania
Is knowin ' what to throw away
And knowin ' what to keep
'Cause every hand' s a winner
I Każda ręka jest przegrana
I najlepsze, na co możesz liczyć, to umrzeć.
in your sleep
And when he finished speakin'
Odwrócił się w stronę okna.
Zgniótł papierosa.
I wyblakła, by zasnąć.
And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
Ale w jego ostatnich słowach
Znalazłem Asa, którego mógłbym zatrzymać.
You 've got to know when to hold' em
"Know when to fold 'em"
"Know when to walk away"
And know when to run
Nigdy nie liczysz swoich pieniędzy.
When you 're sittin' at the table
Będzie czas na liczenie.
"When the dealin 's done"
You 've got to know when to hold' em (when to hold ' em)
Know when to fold 'em (when to fold' em)
"Know when to walk away"
Know when to run
Nigdy nie liczysz swoich pieniędzy.
When you 're sittin' at the table (at the table)
Będzie czas na liczenie.
"When the dealin 's done"
You 've got to know when to hold' em (when to hold ' em)
Know when to fold 'em (when to fold' em)
"Know when to walk away"
And know when to run
Nigdy nie liczysz swoich pieniędzy.
When you 're sittin' at the table (at the table)
Będzie czas na liczenie.
"When the dealin 's done"
