Un Paso Adelante
Paulino Monroy Lyrics

The song "Un Paso Adelante" by Paulino Monroy is a love song that speaks to the concept of forward movement in a relationship. The opening lines express the feeling of being ahead of everyone else, not just in physical movement but also in terms of personal growth, with the singer having the eyes of their loved one as a source of balance while walking on a tightrope. The desire to carry a part of the loved one even after death is highlighted in the lines "Pues quiero llevarme algo de ti el día que muera y en mi biografía relatar la primavera junto a ti," which translates to "For I want to take something of you the day I die and in my biography tell about the spring with you." The singer acknowledges that time spent with the loved one is their greatest treasure, with the warmth of their love being the only thing that can dispel the cold. They then proceed to say they will kiss the loved one to understand everything and then embrace them to never forget the feeling, until the end.

As the song progresses, the lyrics take a turn towards the extraordinary. The singer declares that they are ahead of all the history of the world and its memory, with the loved one's lips being their vehicle for transportation away from the constraints of time, space, and body. They write a song that carries the loved one in the notes, not losing themselves in anything but love. The song ends with the line "Me pusiste a volar mientras el mundo Se destruye allá abajo" which translates to "You made me fly while the world gets destroyed down there." It echoes the idea that even though the world outside may be chaotic, the love between the singer and their partner is the one constant that can heal all wounds.
