Александр Давыдов. Ария Германа/Pique Dame - Queen of Spades - Hermann's aria, act 3

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The Queen of Spades. Hermann's aria, sung in Russian by Alexander Davidov.

Translation:

What is our life? A game!
Good and evil are just dreams,
Work and honesty are foolish tales.
Who is right, who is happy here, my friends?
Today it's your turn, tomorrow it's mine,
So leave the fight, catch the moment of luck,
Let the loser cry, cursing his fate!

What is real? Only death is!
Like the shore of the sea of futility,
It's our refuge.
Who of us does it like best, my friends?
Today it's your turn, tomorrow it's mine,
So leave the fight, catch the moment of luck,
Let the loser cry, cursing his fate!
