A medium fast tango. Carlos Gardel's famous melody Por una cabeza. The lyrics of the song talk about a compulsive horse-racing gambler who compares his addiction for the horses with his attraction to women. Also available instrumental version.
For a head, of a noble colt that right at the line, slows down to arrive and when returning, seems to say don't forget brother, you know you don't have to gamble for a head, a one-day crush of that flirtatious and smiling woman who when she swears with a smile the love that she is lying burns in a bonfire all my love. For a head all the madness her mouth that kisses erases the sadness calms the bitterness for a head if she forgets me what does it matter to lose my life a thousand times so as to live how many disappointments for a head I swore a thousand times I will not insist again but if a glance wounds me when her fiery mouth passes I want to kiss again enough of racing the gambling is over a hard-fought ending I will never see again but if some horse turns out to be a sure thing on Sunday I will risk everything what am I going to do? For a head, all the madness her mouth that kisses erases the sadness calms the bitterness for a head if she forgets me what does it matter to lose my life a thousand times so as to live.
Por una cabeza, de un noble potrillo que justo en la raya, afloja a llegar y que al regresar, parece decir no olvides hermano, vos sabes no hay que jugar por una cabeza, metejon de un dia de aquella coqueta y risuena mujer que al jurar al sonriendo el amor que esta mintiendo quema en una hoguera todo mi querer. Por una cabeza todo las locuras su boca que besa borra la tristeza calma la amargura por una cabeza si ella me olvida que importa perderme mil veces la vida para que vivir cuantos desenganos por una cabeza yo jure mil veces no vuelvo a insistir pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar su boca de fuego otra vez queiro besar bastar de carreras se acabo la timba un final renido ya no vuelvo a ver pero si algun pingo llega a ser fija el domingo yo me juego entero que le voy hacer. Por una cabeza, todas las locuras su boca que besa borra la tristeza calma la amargura por una cabeza si ella me olvida que importa perderme mil veces la vida para que vivir.
