Agitando el cubilete
con los dados del cariño,
comenzó la generala
pasional de nuestro amor.
Yo seguí tu amante juego
con la ciega fe de un niño
porque vi que interpretabas
el concepto del honor.
Te confié en la gran partida
el papel de anotaciones,
convencido que, amorosa,
lo sabrías respetar;
y al hacerte la escalera,
mi escalera de ilusiones
a
la altura de tu alma
yo soñé poder llegar.
¡Cariñito!...
Cariñito de mi vida,
me embrujaste en la partida
con el “full” de tu pasión.
¡Cariñito!...
Me embriagaste de embelesos
y en el póker de tus besos
se enredó mi corazón.
(Instrumental)
¡Cariñito!...
Me embriagaste de embelesos
y en el póker de tus besos
se enredó mi corazón.
(Unsung Part)
Continuando el desarrollo de la clásica partida
comprobé tu noble juego y orgulloso me sentí;
y ante el cielo de tus ojos, que a vivir hoy me convida
con un beso, en mi locura, la partida interrumpí.
Para gloria de mi gloria, de tu amor haciendo gala,
me brindaste el paraíso de adorarte más y más;
y tirando en favor mío le serviste generala
a mi alma, que en la vida, ¡se encontraba cero al as!*
Shaking the dice-
cup of affection,
the impassioned gamble
of our love began.*
I followed your love-play
with the blind faith of a child
because I saw that
your intentions were honorable.
In the great game I trusted you
with the scorecard,
convinced that, lovingly,
you would know how to handle it;
and while making you the “staircase,”
my staircase of hopes*
I dreamed of being able to
reach the height of your soul.
My sweet darling!...
Sweet darling of my lifetime,
you bewitched me in the game
with the “full house” of your passion.*
Sweet darling!...
You got me drunk on enchantment
and in the “poker” of your kisses*
you confused my heart.
(Instrumental)
Sweet darling!...
You got me drunk on enchantment
and in the “poker” of your kisses*
you confused my heart.

Continuing the development of the classic game
you proved generous in your play and I felt proud;
and before the heaven of your eyes, that even now invite me
with a kiss, in my madness, I interrupted the game.
For my glory of glories, making a gift of your love,
you gave me the paradise of adoring you more and more;
and tossing the dice in my favor, you threw a generala
to my soul, which in life always drew “zero to the ace”!*
