Por Una Cabeza

By a head of a noble colt
That just at the finish line loosens when it arrives
And upon returning seems to say
Do not forget, brother, you know, one must not play

By a head, a fleeting love affair
With that flirtatious and smiling woman
Who, while swearing with a smile, the love she's lying about
Burns all my desire in a fire

By a head
All the craziness
Her kissing mouth
Erases the sadness
Calms the bitterness

By a head
If she forgets me
What does it matter to lose me
A thousand times life
Why live

How many disappointments, by a head
I swore a thousand times not to insist again
But if a glance wounds me as she passes by
Her fiery mouth, once again, I want to kiss

Enough of races, the gambling is over
A close finish I won't see again
But if some horse becomes a sure bet on Sunday
I'll bet everything, what can I do

By a head
All the craziness
Her kissing mouth
Erases the sadness
Calms the bitterness

By a head
If she forgets me
What does it matter to lose me
A thousand times life
Why live

By a head
If she forgets me
What does it matter to lose me
A thousand times life
Why live
