Shuffle! Cut!
Good, that's fine!
Three cards here, four there!
And now, speak, dear friends.
Give us news of the future.
Tell us who'll betray us!
Tell us who'll love us!
Speak, speak!
Tell us who'll betray us! Tell us who'll love us!
Speak!
I see a young lover who loves me more than anyone.
My lover is very rich and very old; but he speaks of marriage!
I sit tight on his horse and he takes me away into the mountains!
My lover installs me like a queen as the mistress of a grand castle!
There's no end to our love, every day brings new excitement!
As much gold as I like, diamonds, jewels!
My lover becomes a great leader and a hundred men march behind him!
And mine, and mine - can I believe my eyes? Yes, he dies!
I'm a widow and inherit a fortune!
Ah, speak again, dear friends.
Give us news of the future.
Tell us who'll betray us!
Tell us who'll love us!
Speak, speak!
Tell us who'll betray us! Tell us who'll love us!
A fortune!
Love!
Well, let's see what they tell me.
Diamonds! Spades!
Death!
I see it clearly! First me, then him.
Death for both of us!
In vain, to avoid the bitter answer,
in vain you shuffle the cards!
It's no good, the cards are honest,
they don't tell lies!
If happiness is written as your destiny in the book of fate
shuffle and cut without fear,
under your fingers the cards will show joy,
prophesying good fortune.
But if you must die,
if that fearful word has been written by fate,
you can try twenty times over,
the pitiless card will still repeat: Death!
But if you must die, you can try twenty times over,
the pitiless card will still repeat:
Death!
Again!
Always death!
Speak again, dear friends.
Give us news of the future.
Tell us who'll betray us!
Tell us who'll love us!
Speak again!
Death! Death! Again, death !
- A fortune! - Love!
Always death!
