Ce vieil homme et moi, étions au bar et nous
avons pris quelques bières et discuté de choses sans importance
Parler de politique, des filles blondes et rousses
De Vieux et nouveaux trucs, et les habitudes qui nous ont fait damnées
Nous avons parlé de la grâce des dieux, et tous l'enfer que nous avons soulevées
Puis, j'ai entendu le viel homme dire
Dieu est grand, la bière est bonne, et les gens sont fous
Il a dit : je me suis battu deux guerres, été marié et divorcé
Ce qui vous amène à l'Ohio, il a dit damné, si je sais
Nous avons parlé une heure ou deux, de toutes les filles que nous avons connues
tout ce que nous leur faire subir, comme deux hommes feraient
Nous nous sommes interrogés vie et la mort, il alluma une cigarette
Dit ces choses damnées me tueront encore
Mais Dieu est grand, la bière est bonne, et les gens sont fous
Last call il est deux heures, je l'ai dit au revoir
Je ne lui ai jamais parlé à nouveau
Puis, un jour ensoleillé, j'ai vu le visage du vieil homme
surla page nécrologique, il était un millionaire
Il a laissé sa fortune à, un type qu'il connaissait à peine
Ses enfants étaient furieux, mais moi, je me portais bien
Et je suis passé aujourd'hui, pour lui dire simplement merci et prier
Et j'ai laissé un six-pack là, sur sa tombe
Et je l'ai dit, Dieu est grand, la bière est bonne, et les gens sont fous
Dieu est grand, de la bière est bonne, et les gens sont fous
Dieu est grand, la bière est bonne, et les gens sont fous

The Gambler
On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns at staring
Out the window at the darkness
Til boredom overtook us
And he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of reading people's faces
And knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my saying 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
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
Ya gotta learn to play it righ''
Chorus:
You 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 sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done
Now every gambler knows
That the secret to surviving
Is knowing what to throw away
And knowing 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
So when he'd finished speaking
He turned back towards 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
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns at staring
Out the window at the darkness
Til boredom overtook us
And he began to speak
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of reading people's faces
And knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my saying 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
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
Ya gotta learn to play it righ''
Chorus:
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run

And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for

He turned back towards 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
TRADUCTION
Une chaude soirée d'été
Dans un train à destination inconnue
Dans un train à destination inconnue
J'ai rencontré un joueur
Nous étions tous deux trop fatigués pour dormir
Alors nous regardions
Dehors par la fenêtre, l'obscurité
Jusqu'à ce que l'ennui prenne le dessus
Puis il a commencé à parler
Il a dit, ''Fils, j'ai passé ma vie à lire sur le visage des gens
Et à savoir qu'elles étaient leurs cartes dans l'expression dans leurs yeux
Alors si cela ne te dérange pas, je vais te dire que je peux voir que tu n'as pas d'As
Pour quelques gorgées de ton whisky, je te donnerai des conseils''
Alors je lui ai tendu ma bouteille
Et il a bu ma dernière gorgée
Ensuite il a sorti une cigarette
Et m'a demandé du feu
Et la nuit est devenue mortellement calme
Et son visage a perdu toute expression
Il a dit, ''Si tu veux jouer aux cartes , mon gars,
Tu dois apprendre à jouer parfaitement''
Refrain:
Tu dois savoir quand les tenir, savoir quand les replier
Savoir quand partir et savoir quand courrir
Tu ne comptes jamais ton argent quand tu es assis à la table
Tu auras bien le temps pour ça quand le jeu sera fini
Maintenant chaque joueur sait
Que le secret pour survivre
Est de savoir quoi jeter
Et de savoir quoi garder
Parce que chaque main a un gagnant
Et chaque main a un perdant
Et le meilleur que tu puisses espérer
Est de mourrir dans ton sommeil !
Quand il a eu fini de parler
Il s'est retourné vers la fenêtre
A écrasé sa cigarette
Et s'est endormi
Et quelque part dans l'obscurité
Le joueur est rentré dans ses frais
Mais dans ses derniers mots
J'ai trouvé un As que j'ai pu garder
Nous étions tous deux trop fatigués pour dormir
Alors nous regardions
Dehors par la fenêtre, l'obscurité
Jusqu'à ce que l'ennui prenne le dessus
Puis il a commencé à parler
Il a dit, ''Fils, j'ai passé ma vie à lire sur le visage des gens
Et à savoir qu'elles étaient leurs cartes dans l'expression dans leurs yeux

If I could shake it like my sister Kate
Shake it like a bowl of jelly on a plate
My momma wanted to know last night
How sister Kate could do it oh so nice
Now all the boys in the neighborhood

We never spoke a word
But every thought she had I heard from across the room
We were standing face to face
I couldn't find the words to say give me one more move
I don't even know her name
I guess foolish prides to blame
Now I'm fall'n in love as she's walking away
and my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Now I'm fall'n in love as she's walking away
Wise man next to me did say
bout the one that got away
"son i missed my chance
Don't you let regret take place
of the dreams you have to chase
ask her to dance.... go on son
you might fall down on your face
roll the dice and have some faith"
Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away
when your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away
you might fall down on your face
roll the dice and have some faith
Don't be fall'n in love as she's walking away
when your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
Don't be fall'n..., fall'n... , fall in love.... as she's walking awaaaay
But every thought she had I heard from across the room
We were standing face to face
I couldn't find the words to say give me one more move
I don't even know her name
I guess foolish prides to blame
Now I'm fall'n in love as she's walking away
and my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
