The Card Cheat

(strummer/jones)
有個孤獨的人哭喊著說：“抱住我。”
Theres a solitary man crying, hold me.
這只是因為他孤獨
Its only because hes a-lonely
如果時間守護神跑得很慢
If the keeper of time runs slowly
那這個人就活不長啦
He wont be alive for long!
如果他有時間說出他計劃的所有事情
If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
就算胸有成竹他還能實現什麼
With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve?
這毫無意義
It means nothing!
至少對於菸管和酒館的酒來說
To the opium den and the barroom gin
坐在貝爾蒙的椅子上拉小提琴
In the belmont chair playing violins
賭徒的臉上綻出微笑
The gamblers face cracks into a grin
在他放下黑桃K時
As he lays down the king of spades
但荷官只是注視著
But the dealer just stares
他想這裡應該有些差錯
Theres something wrong here, he thinks
這個賭徒被抓住被迫跪了下來
The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
然後被一槍射死
And shot dead
他只是想要時間再多一點
He only wanted more time
遠離這扇至黑的門
Away from the darkest door
但他的好運一點一點流走
But his luck it gave in
正當黎明曙光一點一點瀰漫時
As the dawn light crept in
他躺在地上
And he lay on the floor
從百年戰爭到克里米亞戰爭
From the hundred year war to the crimea
還有長矛、火槍，羅馬矛
With a lance and a musket and a roman spear
再到那些所有無所畏懼的人
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
侍奉君王
In the service of the king
直到你認清了你的命運
Before you met your fate be sure you
不拋棄你的所愛
Did not forsake your lover
可能已經不在了
May not be around anymore
有個孤獨的人哭喊著說：“抱住我。 ”
Theres a solitary man crying, hold me.
這只是因為他孤獨
Its only because hes a-lonely
如果時間守護神跑得很慢
If the keeper of time runs slowly
那這個人就活不長啦
He wont be alive for long!
