Golden Decks
I'm going to play a bet
with some golden decks
if I win, it's done
and if I lose, too bad
because I'm one of those men
who don't cry when I lose.
Women are like decks of cards
and you have to know how to shuffle
to know which one is yours
and who you're going to bet on
no, after I've lost
you want to play again.
And if you play without malice
because you're not afraid
waiting for the golden jacks
a gentleman appears, a gentleman
excuse me, my good friend
I arrived first.
And no complaints
because I arrived on horseback
I'm watering the rosebush
to cut the May flower
forgive me, king of cups
I'm on horseback.
Whoever doesn't believe me
will lose money and a woman
even the coin purse
sometimes arrives home
with the shirt outside.
And if you play without malice
because you're not afraid
waiting for the golden jacks
excuse me, good friend
I arrived first.
