Translation of the song lyrics Por Una Cabeza - Carlos Di Sarli

Por Una Cabeza (original)

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.

(translation)

By a head
of a noble foal
that right on the line
loosen on arrival,
and that when you return
seems to say:
Don't forget, brother,
you know, you don't have to play.
By a head,
meth of a day
of that coquette
and mocking woman,
that when swearing smiling
the love that is lying,
she burns at a stake
all my love
By a head,
all the craziness.
His mouth of hers that kisses,
erase the sadness,
calm the bitterness.
By a head,
if she forgets me
what does it matter to lose me
a thousand times life,
what to live for
How many disappointed
by a head.
I played a thousand times,
I will not insist again.
But if a look
it hurts me when passing,
her lips of fire
again I want to kiss.
enough racing,
the timba is over.
a laugh ending
I don't see anymore!
But if some pingo
becomes fixed on Sunday,
I play myself whole.
What am I going to do to him?
