Por una cabeza [English translation]

By only a head of

a pureblood race colt

that just on the finish

had slowed down to shamble;

and upon riding back

it seems to be saying

forget not this brother,

you know that you shouldn't gamble

By only a head I

was love struck at first sight

with that one coquettish

and cheerful dame

who by pledging with a smile

a love that she's lying about

she burns all my love

in a blazing flame

[Chorus:]

By only a head were

all of the follies;

her lips when she's kissing

the sadness are dismissing

the sourness make jolly

By only a head that

if she forgets me

won't matter if I lose

my life that hurts me;

what is there to live?

Lots of disappointments,

by only a head all

thousand times I swore that

I won't fall for this

but each time a passing

look off my feet sweeps me

her burning lips,once more,

I want to just kiss

I'm done with the race tracks,

I'm quiting all gambling

a dead heat I don't want

to ever watch again

but if a young filly

looks sure bet on Sunday

I'll gamble all I have,

what can I do then!

(chorus)
