Por una cabeza

"Por una cabeza" is a tango song written in the key of A minor by Carlos Gardel, an iconic Argentine tango singer, composer, and actor. The song was composed in 1935, with lyrics written by Alfredo Le Pera. It gained significant popularity and has since become one of Gardel's most famous and enduring compositions. Interestingly, the phrase "por una cabeza" refers to a nose length in horse racing, but here it symbolizes the desire for a woman's affection. The melody is characterized by its passionate and melancholic tone, accompanied by rhythmic guitar strumming and accordion accents, evoking the essence of traditional tango music.
