Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Por una cabeza de un noble potrillo que justo en la raya afloja al llegar, y que al regresar parece decir: No olvidés, hermano, vos sabés, no hay que jugar. Por una cabeza, de un día de aquella coqueta y burlona mujer, que al jurar sonriendo el amor que está mintiendo, quema en una hoguera todo mi querer. Por una cabeza, todas las locuras. Su boca que besa, borra la tristeza, calma la amargura. Por una cabeza, si ella me olvida qué importa perderme mil veces la vida, para qué vivir. Cuántos desengaños, por una cabeza. Yo juré mil veces, no vuelvo a insistir. Pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar, sus labios de fuego otra vez quiero besar. Basta de carreras, se acabó la timba. ¡Un final reñido ya no vuelvo a ver! Pero si algún pingo llega a ser fija el domingo, yo me juego entero. ¡Qué le voy a hacer..!

For a head of a noble colt that right at the line loosens on arrival, and when returning seems to say: Don't forget, brother, you know, don't play. For a head, one day's metejon of that flirtatious and mocking woman who, while swearing smiling the love she's lying, burns in a bonfire all my love. For a head, all the follies. Her kissing mouth erases sadness, soothes bitterness. For a head, if she forgets me what does it matter to lose me a thousand times life, why live. How many disappointments, for one head. I swore a thousand times, I will not insist again. But if a glance wounds me as I pass by, her fiery lips I want to kiss again. No more running, the game is over. A close finish I'll never see again! But if any pingo becomes fixed on Sunday, I'll bet the whole thing. What can I do!
