Lyrics
Por una cabeza
de un noble potrillo
que justo en la raya
afloja al llegar,
y que al regresar
parece decir:
No olvid, hermano,
vos sabs, no hay que jugar.
Por una cabeza,
metejn de un da
de aquella coqueta
y burlona mujer,
que al jurar sonriendo
el amor que est 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
qu importa perderme
mil veces la vida,
para qu vivir.
Cuntos desengaos,
por una cabeza.
Yo jugu 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 acab la timba.
Un final reido
ya no vuelvo a ver!
Pero si algn pingo
llega a ser fija el domingo,
yo me juego entero.
Qu le voy a hacer.
Lyrics translation
By a head
of a noble foal
that right on the line
loosen on arrival,
and that upon returning
it seems to say:
Don't forget, brother.,
you know, we don't have to play.
By a head,
metejn of a yes
of that coquettish
and mocking woman,
that when you swear smiling
the love that's lying,
burning at a stake
all my love.
By a head,
all the craziness.
His mouth kissing,
erase the sadness,
calm the bitterness.
By a head,
if she forgets me
what does it matter to lose me
a thousand times life,
to live for.
Cunts desgaos,
by a head.
I jugu a thousand times,
I won't insist again.
But if a look
it hurts me to pass,
his lips of fire
I want to kiss again.
No more racing,
no more timba.
A laughable ending
I'll never see again!
But if some pingo
it becomes fixed on Sunday,
I play the whole game.
What am I gonna do to him?
