Verse 1
Por una cabeza de un noble potrillo
By a head of a noble foal
Que justo en la raya, afloja al llegar
That right on the line, loosens up when you arrive
Y que al regresar, parece decir
And that when he returns, he seems to say
'No olvides, hermano, vos sabés, no hay que jugar'
'Don't forget, brother, you know, don't play'
Por una cabeza, metejón de un día
For a head, metejón of a day
De aquella coqueta y risueña mujer
Of that flirtatious and smiling woman
Que al jurar sonriendo, el amor que está mintiendo
That by swearing smiling, the love that is lying
Quema en una hoguera todo mi querer
Burn in a bonfire all my will
Chorus 1
Por una cabeza
By a head
Todas las locuras
All the crazy things
Su boca que besa, borra la tristeza
His mouth that kisses, erases sadness
Calma la amargura
Calms bitterness
Por una cabeza
By a head
Si ella me olvida
If she forgets me
¿Qué importa perderme mil veces la vida?
What does it matter to miss my life a thousand times?
¿Para qué vivir?
Why live?
Verse 2
¿Cuántos desengaños por una cabeza?
How many disappointments for a head?
Yo juré mil veces, no vuelvo a insistir
I swore a thousand times, I do not insist again
Pero si un mirar me hiere al pasar
But if a look hurts me as I pass
Su boca de fuego, otra vez, quiero besar
His mouth of fire, again, I want to kiss
Basta de carreras, se acabó la timba
No more racing, no more timba
Un final reñido yo no vuelvo a ver
A close end I never see again
Pero si algún pingo llega a ser fija el domingo
But if any pingo becomes fixed on Sunday
Yo me juego entero, ¿qué le voy a hacer?
I play the whole game, what am I going to do to him?
Chorus 2
Por una cabeza
By a head
Todas las locuras
All the crazy things
Su boca que besa, borra la tristeza
His mouth that kisses, erases sadness
Calma la amargura
Calms bitterness
Por una cabeza

Si ella me olvida
If she forgets me
¿Qué importa perderme mil veces la vida?
What does it matter to miss my life a thousand times?
¿Para qué vivir?
