Gozar La Vida: Julio Iglesia's Hit Song
¡Hola¡, I have a few questions regarding the meaning of a few verses in the famous song of Julio Iglesia's Gozar La Vida:
a) Hay amigos pa' simepre, y otros vienen y van (understood- pa' is the short form of para?) pero todos vivimos en una ruleta (understood) que no para más, caballero (please explain)
b) Camina pa'lante, no tengas mideo (pa'lante... please explain) que los que critican se critican ellos (please throw some light!) y busca tu suerte que nada está escrito, no mires atrás
Could some light be thrown on the meaning of the second verse, please?.
Gracias
Ashok

"que no para más, caballero". Here "para" is from the verb "parar" ("to stop"). "Una ruleta que no para más" "A roulette that won't stop again"
Camina pa'lante = camina para adelante (you, walk forward) (a contraction used in spoken Spanish)
