The title offers reference to horse racing and laments a comparison between “losing a woman” and “losing at the racetrack.” It portrays the story of a man who lost everything after betting on a horse race, including the woman he admires. “Por una Cabeza,” i.e., “to lose by a head,” signifies the distance his horse lost in that race. It also carries a tragic story behind it, as both the composer/singer Carlos Gardel and the lyricist Alfredo Le Pera passed away on June 24, 1935 in a devastating plane crash.
