Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Una Cabeza by Diego el Cigala from Spanish to English.
De un noble potrillo
Of a noble foal
Que justo en la raya
That right on the line
Afloja al llegar
Relax when you arrive
Y que al regresar
And when you return
No olvides, hermano
Don't forget, brother
Vos sabes, no hay que jugar
You know, you don't have to play
Metejón de un día
One day mess
De aquella coqueta
Of that flirtatious
Y burlona mujer
And mocking woman
Que al jurar sonriendo
That when you swear smiling
El amor que está mintiendo
The love that is lying
Quema en una hoguera
Burning in a bonfire
Todo mi querer
all my love
Todas las locuras
All the crazy things
Su boca que besa
His kissing mouth
Borra la tristeza
Erase the sadness
Calma la amargura
calm the bitterness
Si ella me olvida
If she forgets me
Qué importa perderme
What does it matter to lose me
Mil veces la vida
a thousand times a life
Para qué vivir
For what living
Cuántos desengaños
How many disappointments
Yo juré mil veces
I swore a thousand times
No vuelvo a insistir
I won't insist again
Pero si un mirar
But if a look
Me hiere al pasar
It hurts me when it passes
Sus labios de fuego
His lips of fire
Otra vez quiero besar
I want to kiss again
Basta de carreras
Enough racing
Se acabó la timba
The timba is over
Un final reñido
A close finish
Ya no vuelvo a ver
I won't see again
Pero si algún pingo
But if some pingo
Llega a ser fija el domingo
Becomes fixed on Sunday
Yo me juego entero
I play the whole game
Qué le voy a hacer
What am i going to do
