Spanish term or phrase: vencidura
no seas cabeza dura porque tu eres mi locura, talvez mi vencidura
rachael
English translation:weakness
Explanation:
This is the closest I can come to translating this word with any sense.
Vencidura would come from the word vencer which means "win over" - "win", however within this context I believe that "weakness" would be more appropriate.

  -> I guess downfall could also be used, but given the context and guessing this is a love song, then weakness seems to be more appropriate. Thanks Ruth!!!
