Jucător adevărat
Real gambler
[Verse 1: Caddillac & Tata Vlad]
I have the neighborhood in my heart and dice gambling in my blood
I was born with the die in my hand, no one can beat me
I’m respected by everyone because I make piles of money
I have everything I want for my people, like many would like to have (Say it!)
My little girl is a princess, my wife is a queen (Say it!)
That’s why people get jealous, that’s why people hold a grudge against me (Tell them!)
I’ve played barbut since I was little, since I was a kid
With the hoodlums from the neighborhood for pocket money
Now I’m their father, I play for big sums
With first-class crooks, only with millionaires
Luck is on my side, I win double what I lose
Sometimes I cheat a bit when some sucker shows up
(You know) Life is like the die — it keeps rolling
Whoever is weaker, that one gets burned!
[Pre-Chorus: Caddillac & Tata Vlad]
What I had, I lost (What I had, I lost!)
I liked playing barbut (I liked playing barbut!)
Now I sit and think (Now I sit and think)
Why does everyone avoid me? (Why does everyone avoid me?)
[Chorus: ViLLy]
What I had, I lost
I liked playing barbut
Now I sit and think
Why does everyone avoid me?
What I had, I lost
I liked playing barbut
Now I sit and think
Why does everyone avoid me?
[Verse 2: Caddillac]
I went deep into the game on an unlucky day
You could tell from the start, I got in and I lost
I played all the money that I had
I thought I’d win it back, but I kept losing, losing
Rings, chains, and bracelets, and I still kept going
I put the car into the game and finally I won
I took back what I had lost until then
Except for a chain, the watch, and a signet ring
The guy baited me and I, like a fool, took it
Instead of going home, I sat back down and played again
I started over — and again I went downhill
I don’t know what to do, I feel cornered
The man tells me he’s playing everything on the table
And in return, I have to put up my house
That’s all it took, I didn’t think for a single moment
I threw the die, bad luck — goodbye apartment
[Pre-Chorus: Caddillac & Tata Vlad]
What I had, I lost (What I had, I lost!)
I liked playing barbut (I liked playing barbut!)
Now I sit and think (Now I sit and think)
Why does everyone avoid me? (Why does everyone avoid me?)
[Chorus: ViLLy]
What I had, I lost
I liked playing barbut
Now I sit and think
Why does everyone avoid me?
What I had, I lost
I liked playing barbut
Now I sit and think
Why does everyone avoid me?
[Verse 3: Caddillac]
From the guy I used to be, all that’s left is a louse
I’d put the gun to my head, but it might not help
I ended up gambling my car, my house, and now my wife
I look at her and tell her: “Stop crying like a fool!
You’re ripping my heart out and you know I’m not okay
All I still have in this world is my little girl and you”
I throw the die again, just as stupid as before
There’s no point anymore
I go out the door desperate, trying to do something
I punch the first window and steal the jewelry
I don’t even make two steps before the guys grab me
They know me too well, they want to lock me up for life
I get away with a few years and way too many debts
If I think about it, it would’ve been better behind bars
My little girl and my wife won’t look me in the eye anymore
They avoid me, they always steer clear of me
[Pre-Chorus: Caddillac & Tata Vlad]
What I had, I lost (What I had, I lost!)
I liked playing barbut (I liked playing barbut!)
Now I sit and think (Now I sit and think)
Why does everyone avoid me? (Why does everyone avoid me?)
[Chorus: ViLLy]
What I had, I lost
I liked playing barbut
Now I sit and think
Why does everyone avoid me?
What I had, I lost
I liked playing barbut
Now I sit and think
Why does everyone avoid me?
