Lyrics
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.

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!
English translation
Shaking the dice cup with the dice of affection,
began the passionate generalship of our love.
I followed your loving game with the blind faith of a child
because I saw that you interpreted the concept of honor.
I entrusted to you in the great game the role of annotations,
convinced that, loving, you would know how to respect it;
and in making you the ladder, my ladder of illusions.
I dreamed of reaching the height of your soul.

Sweetheart!...
Sweetheart of my life,
you bewitched me at departure
with the "full" of your passion.
Sweetheart!...
You intoxicated me with your raptures
and in the poker of your kisses
my heart was entangled.

Continuing the development of the classic game
I checked your noble game and I felt proud;
and before the sky of your eyes, that invites me to live today
with a kiss, in my madness, I interrupted the game.
For the glory of my glory, of your love, showing off,
you gave me the paradise of adoring you more and more;
and pulling in my favor you served as a general
to my soul, which in life, was zero to the ace!
