Moving forward
Echa'o pa' lante
On a single tile I danced
En una sola baldosa bailé
That's how I remember meeting you, woman
Así recuerdo que te conocí mujer
Moving forward
Echa'o pa' lante
On a rainy afternoon I pressed on
En una tarde lluviosa apreté
Though it was bad, I felt sorrow for yesterday
Aunque malo fué, sentí una pena por el ayer
Oh I, I, I, yes
Oh yo, yo, yoy, si
Oh, yesterday, how much I suffered and enjoyed
Oh, el ayer, cuanto sufrí y gozé
And like everyone, I had friends who rejoiced to see me fall
Y como todos tuve amigos que se alegraron al verme caer
I stood up, I stood up
Me paré, me paré
(Moving forward and prepared)
(Echa'o pa' lante y preparao')
Now it's my turn to give myself the flair
Ahora me toca a mi darme el caché
They think I don't know the game
Ellos se creen que yo no me la sé
Watch out, watch out
Fijate, fijate
Moving forward and prepared
Echa'o pa' lante y preparao'
Now I really beat them
Ahora si que les gané
The gossip and even the unknown
Al chisme y hasta el no se qué
I stood up, I stood up
Me paré, me paré
(Moving forward and prepared)
(Echa'o pa' lante y preparao')
Hey, she was really good
Oye que ella estaba muy bueno
Moving forward, now you'll see
Echa'o pa' lante ahora tu va' ver
Moving forward, now you'll see
Echa'o pa' lante ahora tu va' ver
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
Now I really beat them
Ahora si que les gané
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
The gossip and even the unknown
Al chisme y hasta el no se qué
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
I defeated, I defeated
Derroté, derroté
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
Oh, I, I, I
Oh, yo, yo, yoy
This is the little piece that Barranquilla the beautiful loves
Este es el pedacito que le gusta a Barranquilla la bella
(Moving forward, now you'll see)
(Echa'o pa' lante ahora tu va' ver)
I paid off the rumor mill
A radio bemba pagué
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
I care little that I didn't find out
Poco me importa que no me enteré
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
Watch out, watch out
Fijate, fijate
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
I forgot, I forgot
Ya olvidé, ya olvidé
(Now you'll see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
Oh, I, I, I
Oh, yo, yo, yoy
Yesterday's gone
Fuera el ayer
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
I've got something strong called faith
Tengo algo fuerte que se llama fe
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
I forgot, I forgot
Ya olvidé, ya olvidé
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
I'm moving forward, just see
Voy pa' lante, fijate
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
Oh, I, I, I
Oh, yo, yo, yoy
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
I advanced and advanced
Avancé y avancé
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
Now I've truly won
Ahora si que les gané
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
Over gossip and the unknown
Al chisme y hasta el no se qué
(Now you will see)
(Ahora tu va' ver)
