Por Una Cabeza
Carlos Gardel
By a Head
By a head of a noble colt
Who, just at the finish line, loosens when he arrives
And that, upon returning, seems to say
Don't forget, brother, you know, don't play
By a head, a one-day infatuation
With that flirtatious and smiling woman
Who, while swearing with a smile, the love she's lying about
Burns all my desire in a bonfire
By a head (by a head)
All the craziness (all the craziness)
Her kissing mouth
Erases sadness, soothes bitterness
By a head (by a head)
If she forgets me (if she forgets me)
What does it matter if I lose my life a thousand times?
What's the point of living?
How many disappointments for a head
I swore a thousand times, I won't 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 watch again
But if some horse becomes a sure bet on Sunday
I'll bet everything, what can I do?
By a head (by a head)
All the craziness (all the craziness)
Her kissing mouth
Erases sadness, soothes bitterness
By a head (by a head)
If she forgets me (if she forgets me)
What does it matter if I lose my life a thousand times?
What's the point of living?
