Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
What good is in any of this, man?
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
Everyone has their own path, man!
Life itself is an intoxication, man!
You and I are different, man!
The world will say a hundred things, man!
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
What good is in any of this, man?
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
Oh hoo oo hoo
Oh hoo hoo oooo
Oh hoo oo hoo
Oh hoo hoo oooo
Oh hoo oo hoo
Oh hoo hoo oooo
A man has his desire,
a woman has hers.
When the two come together here,
there are no words left to speak!
Let it go, let it go,
life here
is just like a pastime!
Come on, come on,
even the earth
is right under our feet!
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
What good is in any of this, man?
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
Oh hoo oo hoo
Oh hoo hoo oooo
Oh hoo oo hoo
Oh hoo hoo oooo
The intellect says one thing,
the heart says another.
Ignoring both of them,
craving destroys you!
Everything tells you one thing,
your thirst tells you another.
If things go on like this,
what will become of this world?
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
Everyone has their own path, man!
Life itself is an intoxication, man!
You and I are different, man!
The world will say a hundred things, man!
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
What good is in any of this, man?
Wine and women,
it's all a gamble, man!
Oh hoo oo hoo

Overall song meaning

The song explores the intoxicating vices of human life—wine, women, and gambling—questioning their ultimate moral value and purpose. It reflects on how individual paths diverge while societal judgment remains persistent, portraying life as a high-stakes game driven by conflicting intellect, heart, and raw desires. Ultimately, it serves as a philosophical commentary on human temptation, existential detachment, and the chaotic nature of human existence on earth.
