Текст и перевод песни Joe Arroyo Y La Verdad - Echao Pa' Lante

Echao Pa' Lante

Echao pa'lante
En una sola baldosa bailé
Así recuerdo que te conocí, mujer
Echao pa'lante
En una tarde lluviosa apreté
Aunque malo fue, sentí una pena por el ayer

- ¡Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!
- Sí, ¿qué?
(...)
¡Oh, qué ayer!
Cuánto sufrí y gocé
Y como todos tuve amigos que...
Se alegraron al verme caer
Me paré, me paré
(Echao pa'lante y prepara'o)
Ahora me toca a mí darme el caché
Ellos se creen que yo me la sé
Fíjate, fíjate
(Echao pa'lante y prepara'o)
Ahora sí que les gané
Al chisme y hasta el no sé qué
Me paré, me paré
(Echao pa'lante y prepara'o)
¡Oye!, es que ya estaba muy bueno
(Echao pa'lante)
(Ahora tú va' ver)
(Echao pa'lante)
(Ahora tú va' ver)
¿Cómo?
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Ahora sí que le gané
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Al chisme y hasta el no sé qué
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Derroté, derroté
(Ahora tú va' ver)

- ¡Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!
- ¡Ju!
(...)
- "Este es el pedacito que le gusta a Barranquilla la bella"
(...)
- ¡Ju!
(...)
(Echao pa'lante)
(Ahora tú va' ver)
A radio bemba pagué
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Poco me importa que no me entregué
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Fíjate, fíjate
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Ya olvidé, ya olvidé
(Ahora tú va' ver)

- ¡Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!
(...)
Fuera el ayer
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Tengo algo fuerte que se llama fe
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Ya olvidé, ya olvidé
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Voy pa'lante y tú fíjate
(Ahora tú va' ver)

- ¡Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!

(Ahora tú va' ver)
Avancé y avancé
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Ahora sí que le gané
(Ahora tú va' ver)
Al chisme y hasta el no sé qué
(Ahora tú va' ver...)

Pushing Forward

Pushing forward
On a single tile I danced
That's how I remember meeting you, woman
Pushing forward
On a rainy afternoon, I held on tight
Though it was bad, I felt a pang for yesterday

- Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!
- Yes, what?
(...)
Oh, what a yesterday!
How much I suffered and enjoyed
And like everyone, I had friends who...
Rejoiced to see me fall
I got up, I got up
(Pushing forward and prepared)
Now it's my turn to show off
They think I know it all
Look, look
(Pushing forward and prepared)
Now I've really beaten them
The gossip and even the I-don't-know-what
I got up, I got up
(Pushing forward and prepared)
Hey!, it was getting too good
(Pushing forward)
(Now you'll see)
(Pushing forward)
(Now you'll see)
What?
(Now you'll see)
Now I've really beaten them
(Now you'll see)
The gossip and even the I-don't-know-what
(Now you'll see)
I defeated, I defeated
(Now you'll see)

- Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!
- Woo!
(...)
- "This is the little piece that Barranquilla the beautiful likes"
(...)
- Woo!
(...)
(Pushing forward)
(Now you'll see)
I paid off the rumour mill
(Now you'll see)
It doesn't matter to me that I didn't give in
(Now you'll see)
Look, look
(Now you'll see)
I've forgotten, I've forgotten
(Now you'll see)

- Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!
(...)
Yesterday is gone
(Now you'll see)
I have something strong called faith
(Now you'll see)
I've forgotten, I've forgotten
(Now you'll see)
I'm moving forward and you just watch
(Now you'll see)

- Oh-yo-yoi-yoi!

(Now you'll see)
I advanced and advanced
(Now you'll see)
Now I've really beaten them
(Now you'll see)
The gossip and even the I-don't-know-what
(Now you'll see...)
