Echa'o pa' lante
Moving forward
En una sola baldosa bailé
On a single tile I danced
Así recuerdo que te conocí mujer
That's how I remember meeting you , woman
Echa'o pa' lante
Moving forward
En una tarde lluviosa apreté
On a rainy afternoon I pressed on
Aunque malo fué , sentí una pena por el ayer
Though it was bad , I felt sorrow for yesterday
Oh yo , yo , yoy , si
Oh I , I , I , yes
Oh , el ayer , cuanto sufrí y gozé
Oh , yesterday , how much I suffered and enjoyed
Y como todos tuve amigos que se alegraron al verme caer
And like everyone , I had friends who rejoiced to see me fall
Me paré , me paré
I stood up , I stood up
( Echa'o pa' lante y preparao' )
( Moving forward and prepared )
Ahora me toca a mi darme el caché
Now it's my turn to give myself the flair
Ellos se creen que yo no me la sé
They think I don't know the game
Fijate , fijate
Watch out , watch out
Echa'o pa' lante y preparao'
Moving forward and prepared
Ahora si que les gané
Now I really beat them
Al chisme y hasta el no se qué
The gossip and even the unknown
Me paré , me paré
I stood up , I stood up

Este es el pedacito que le gusta a Barranquilla la bella
This is the little piece that Barranquilla the beautiful loves

A radio bemba pagué
I paid off the rumor mill
