Ciganska karta Žalost je karta, ki pooseblja težave ženske, njene spomine in nemoč. Po drugi strani pa je ženska prišla do spoznanja, da je prav v njenih spominih in nemoči njena prava moč.
Ključen pomen karte vam govori, da je prepustiti se toku najboljša poteza, ki jo spraševalec lahko naredi. Če bi iskali primerjavo s tarot kartami, lahko podobno analogijo najdemo v karti velike arkane Obešencu.
Video, ki sem ga izbral, je najboljša ponazoritev te karte.
Originalno besedilo pesmi:
Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
Half awake and half in dreams
Seeing long forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind
Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged good-bye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room
I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room
Še en video od skupine ABBA, ki definitivno zelo dobro nakazuje cigansko karto Žalost.
Bodite pozorni na minutažo od 3:25 do 3:40. To je bistvo vsega. Poslušajte ta del in začutili boste kako se ji zatrese glas. To pove popolnoma vse. Pesem je bila napisana in zapeta takrat, ko je skupina že razpadala oziroma ko so bili skupaj samo še zaradi denarja, čustveno pa že nekaj časa ne. Tako je bila pesem dobesedno ogledalo tistega, kar se je pravzaprav v resnici tudi zgodilo.

Originalno besedilo pesmi:
I don’t wanna talk
About the things we’ve gone through
Though it’s hurting me
Now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards
And that’s what you’ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That’s her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I’d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It’s simple and it’s plain
Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don’t wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You’ve come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all……
