Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy? 不要抽方塊皇后那張牌 (diamonds是鑽石, queen of diamonds(方塊Q)意指"拜金女郎") She'll beat you if she's able 一逮到機會她就會矇騙你 You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet 你知道, 紅心皇后才是你的最佳賭注 (撲克牌heart=紅心, 有愛情的意思, queen of hearts(紅心Q)指真正愛你的女孩) Now it seems to me, some fine thing 對我來說, 有些好牌 Have been laid upon your table 都已攤開在你桌上 But you only want the ones you can't get 但你卻只想要你得不到的

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses 亡命之徒, 為何還不清醒點? Come down from your fences and open the gate 從城牆上下來吧! 敞開心門 It may be raining 外面也許下著雨 But there's a rainbow above you 但彩虹就在你抬頭仰望的天空上 You better let somebody love you 你最好讓別人愛你 You better let somebody love you 你最好讓別人愛你 Before it's too late 在為時已晚之前
