Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns at staring 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 reading people's faces
And knowing what the cards were, by the way they held their eyes
So if you don't mind my 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
Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right
 [bad word] 
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when [bad word] 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 survive is
Knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep
'Cos every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for is that I end asleep

And when he finished speakin', he turned back for the window [bad word] out the cigarette, 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

Игрок (перевод с экрана S06E04)

Теплым летним вечерком Мчался поезд с ветерком
Мне с картежным игроком Ехать довелось
Мы смотрели с ним в окно Не спалось нам все равно
Стало скучно и темно И он произнес: 

Я читал людей по взглядам, В нашем деле это надо
Узнавал я их расклады По движению век
Вижу, ты отличный малый, Я же повидал немало
Если хочешь, то, пожалуй, Дам тебе один совет

Знай, когда достать колоду,
А когда концы все в воду
Знай, когда уйти достойно
И когда сбежать

Не играй лишь ради денег,
Когда сдастся твой соперник,
Будет время, чтоб спокойно
Прибыль подсчитать
