The Gambler (赌徒) - Maxdown[00:00:00]
About twenty years ago[00:00:06]
On a train bound for nowhere[00:00:08]
Met up with the gambler[00:00:11]
Both too tired to sleep[00:00:14]
So we took turns staring[00:00:16]
At the window at the darkness[00:00:19]
Until boredom overtook us[00:00:22]
He commenced to speak[00:00:25]
He said son I've made a life[00:00:27]
Out of reading people's faces[00:00:30]
And knowing what their cards were[00:00:33]
By the way they held their eyes[00:00:35]
So if you don't mind my saying[00:00:38]
I can see you're out of aces[00:00:41]
For taste of your whiskey[00:00:44]
I will give you some advice[00:00:46]
So I handed him my bottle[00:00:50]
And he drank down my last swallow[00:00:53]
Then he bummed a cigarette[00:00:57]
Then asked me for a light[00:00:59]
And the night got deathly quiet[00:01:01]
And his face lost all expression[00:01:04]
Said if you're going to play the game boy[00:01:07]
Better learn to play it right[00:01:10]
You've got to know when to hold them[00:01:12]
Know when to fold them[00:01:16]
Know when to walk away[00:01:18]
Know when to run[00:01:21]
You ever count your money[00:01:23]
While you're sitting at the table[00:01:26]
There'll be time enough for counting[00:01:28]
When the dealing is done[00:01:32]
Every gambler knows[00:01:39]
That the secret to survival[00:01:40]
Is knowing what to throw away[00:01:43]
And knowing what to keep[00:01:46]
Every hand's a winner[00:01:49]
Every hand's a loser[00:01:52]
And the best that you can hope for[00:01:54]
Is to die in your sleep[00:01:57]
And when he finished speaking[00:01:59]
Turned back toward the window[00:02:02]
Crushed out his cigarette[00:02:05]
Faded off to sleep[00:02:08]
Somewhere in the darkness[00:02:10]
The gambler he broke even[00:02:13]
But in his final words[00:02:15]
I found an ace that I could keep[00:02:17]
You've got to know when to hold them[00:02:20]
Know when to fold them[00:02:24]
Know when to walk away[00:02:27]
Know when to run[00:02:29]
You don't ever count your money[00:02:31]
While you're sitting at the table[00:02:34]
There'll be time enough for counting[00:02:36]
When the dealing is done[00:02:40]
You've got to know when to hold them[00:02:42]
Know when to fold them[00:02:45]
Know when to walk away[00:02:48]
Know when to run[00:02:51]
You don't ever count your money[00:02:52]
While you're sitting at the table[00:02:55]
There'll be time enough for counting[00:02:58]
When the dealing is done[00:03:01]
You've got to know when to hold them[00:03:03]
Know when to fold them[00:03:06]
Know when to walk away[00:03:09]
Know when to run[00:03:12]
You don't ever count your money[00:03:13]
While you're sitting at the table[00:03:16]
