Lyrics & Translation

[English]

and where exactly do you live, Mr Dawson?

Well right now my address is RMS Titanic

after that I'm on God's good humor

And how is it you have means to travel?

I work my way from place to place, you know

tramp steamer such but I won my ticket on Titanic here at a lucky hand at poker

A very lucky hand

All life is a game of luck!

A real man makes his own luck. Right, Dawson?

And you find that sort of rootless existence appealing, do you?

Yes, ma'am I do

I mean,

I've got everything I need right here with me

I got air in my lungs and a few blank sheets of paper

I mean, I love waking up in the morning now knowing what's gonna happen or

who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up

Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge, and now..

Here I am, on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people

I'll take some more of that

I figure life is a gift and I don't intend on wasting it

You never know what hand you're gonna get dealt next

You learn to take life as it comes at you

Here you go, Carl

To make each day count

well said Jack

Yeah, yeah!

To make it count

To make it count!
