Other Identification:
“Por una Cabeza” is a famous tango song from 1935 by Carlos Gardel with lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera, meaning “by a head,” which references horse racing. The lyrics compare a compulsive gambler’s addiction for horse racing to his attraction to women, a metaphor for love’s thrilling risks and potential heartbreaks. The song, notable for its slow, clear rhythm, has been featured in films like Scent of a Woman and Schindler’s List.
