Translation

Voy a jugarme un albur

I'm going to take a gamble

con una baraja de oro

with a deck of gold

que si lo gano ya estuvo

if I win, that's it

y si lo pierdo nimodo

and if I lose, oh well

pork yo soy de los hombres

because I'm one of those men

k cuando pierdo no lloro

who don't cry when they lose


las mujeres son barajas

women are like playing cards

k hay k saber barajear

you have to know how to shuffle

pa´saber cual es la tuya

to know which one is yours

y la k vas a apostar

and which one you're going to bet on

no ya despues de perdido

don't, after losing,

kieras volber a jugar

want to play again


y si jueas sin malicia

and if you play without malice

pork no les tienes miedo?

why don't you fear them?

esperando a zota de oros

waiting for the ace of gold,

aparece un caballero

a knight appears

dispence mi buen amigo

excuse me, my good friend

esk yo llegue primero

because I arrived first


y nimodo de reclamo

and no complaints allowed

pork yo llegue a caballo

because I arrived on horseback

estoy regando el rosal

I'm watering the rosebush

pa´cortar la flor de mayo

to cut the May flower

perdoneme rey de copas

excuse me, king of cups

pero yo llegue a caballo

but I arrived on horseback


y el k no lo kiera creer

and whoever doesn't believe it

k le entre a lo pantera

let them face it like a panther

pierde dinero y mujer

loses money and a woman

y hasta la porta moneda

and even the coin purse

aveces llega a su casa

sometimes arrives home

con la camisa de fuera

with the shirt hanging out
