Por una cabeza                     Lost by a head
                
Music: Carlos Gardel
Lyrics: Alfredo Le Pera

Recited 12 Oct. 05, Divino Lounge

By only a head there
with that purebred pony
that slackened its pace
as it came down the stretch,
and on the parade lap
seemed to say: "Brother,
don't you forget now,
no one forced you to bet."
By only a head there,
a day's infatuation
with that young flirtatious,
satirical tease,
who swore through her smile
to a love that was guile,
and threw my affection
in a bonfire's blaze.

By only a head there,
all kinds of madness.
The way her mouth kisses
erases the sadness,
it pacifies the gall.
By only a head there,
if she should forget me,
what's it matter to me
to die a thousand times,
—why go on at all.

How many hard lessons,
by only a head there.
I've sworn a thousand times,
I won't press my luck again.
And yet if a glance
arrests me in passing,
her liplock of fire
I again want to kiss.
Enough of the races,
I've folded my hand.
It's not my photo-finish,
I'm not buying in.
And yet if, come Sunday,
some filly's the favorite
—what else can I do?—
I'll take her to win.
