Baraja de oro
Lupillo Rivera
Deck of Gold
I'm going to take a chance
with a deck of gold
if I win, that's it
and if I lose, oh well
because I'm one of those men
who don't cry when they lose
Women are cards
that need to be shuffled
to know which one is yours
and which one you're going to bet on
Don't try to play again
after you've lost
And if you play innocently
why are you not afraid?
waiting for the ace of hearts
comes a knight
excuse me, my good friend
I got here first
And no need to complain
because I arrived on horseback
I'm watering the rose bush
to pick the May flower
forgive me, king of cups
but I arrived on horseback
And whoever doesn't believe it
should try their luck
loses money and a woman
and even the last coin
sometimes comes home
with their shirt on backwards
