残り僅かな命をご堪能

According to a dictionary, _tannou_ can be used as an adjective or a verb (to
enjoy, be satisfied, to be skilled, ect.) But I don't understand it here.

> ►残り僅かな命をご堪能  
>  手元に残す切り札のカード  
>  I know ここで引くなどご法度  
>  ギリギリで生きるのがスタンダード

This is the full line, which might help you with the context. It’s from a song
I was translating. I don’t need help with the lines below it, and I just
didn’t want to get deleted if someone thought I was asking for a bulk
translation (because I'm not).

ご堪能 usage and meaning
The 「を」 particle is used to indicate the object of the verb.

Noun + を + Verb = Verb + the Noun

残り僅かな命 + を + (ご)堪能 = Enjoy + the little remaining life

There isn't enough context to give a precise translation that matches the
intent, but the gist here is to "Enjoy the little bit of life one still has
left." (Sounds like something we'd read about when speaking of patients with
terminal illnesses.)

No, it doesn't make any sense. And 堪能 itsself means' to be fully satisfied
with' something especially like luxury foods, trips, or performances of
eminent artists. So technically you can say 残りわずかな命を堪能する but this sounds
really strange. I would substitute 享受する kyouju-suru (accept and enjoy) for
堪能する in this context. 残り僅かな命を享受する is more natural expression.

I'd like to add one thing concerning 堪能. If you see 堪能 in other contexts like
彼は英語に堪能である。 Here 堪能 serve as a na-adjective meaning 'He is very good at
English.'

answer
堪能 here is clearly used as a suru-verb because it has a direct object
(残り少ない命). Its meaning here is "to enjoy to one's heart's content." する is
omitted because it's from lyrics, and it's intended to rhyme with ご法度 two
lines after it.

Judging from the [whole lyrics](https://lyricsjpop.blogspot.jp/2016/12/sky-hi-
double-down.html), this is a song about [double down of
blackjack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack#Player_decisions), which is
a symbol of a make-or-break, sink-or-swim situation. So this 残り少ない命を堪能する
figuratively refers to the excitement of a person placed in such a situation.
