Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Baraja De Oro by Chalino Sanchez from Spanish to English.
Voy a jugarme un albur
I'm going to take a gamble
Con una baraja de oro
With a deck of gold
Que si la gano ya estuvo
If I win, it's done
Y si lo pierdo ni modo
And if I lose, oh well
Porque yo soy de los hombres
Because I'm one of those men
que cuando pierdo no lloro
Who don't cry when they lose
Las mujeres son barajas
Women are like playing cards
Hay que saber barajar
You have to know how to shuffle
Para saber cuál es la tuya
To know which one is yours
Es la que vas apostar
That's the one you'll bet on
No ya después de perdido
Don't try to play again
Quieras volver a jugar
After you've already lost
Y si juegas sin malicia
And if you play without malice
Porque no les tienes miedo
Because you're not afraid of them
Esperando lo sota de oros
Waiting for the ace of hearts
Te aparece un caballero
A knight appears to you
Disperse mi buen amigo
Excuse me, my good friend
Es que yo llegue primero
I arrived first
El que no lo quiero creer
Those who don't want to believe it
Que le entre a lo pantera
Let them join the panther
Pierde dinero y mujer
They lose money and women
Y hasta la porta moneda
And even their pocket change
A veces llega a su casa
Sometimes they come home
Con la camisa de fuera
With their shirt untucked
Y ni modo de reclamos
And there's no point in complaining
Porque yo llegue a caballo
Because I arrived on horseback
Estoy regando el rosal para cortar
I'm watering the rosebush to cut
La flor de Mayo
The May flower
Perdóneme rey de copas
Forgive me, king of cups
Pero yo soy de a caballo
But I'm a horseback rider
Y si juegas sin malicia
And if you play without malice
Porque no les tienes miedo
Because you're not afraid of them
Esperando a sota de oros
Waiting for the ace of hearts
Te aparece un caballero
A knight appears to you
Dispense mi buen amigo
Excuse me, my good friend
Es que yo llegue primero
I arrived first
