"La Parte De Adelante" is Andrés Calamaro’s cheeky love manifesto, where he paints himself as every possible role inside a passionate relationship. In a carousel of self-assigned titles—soldier, architect, commander, carpenter—he vows to guard his lover’s wild impulses, celebrate her tenderness, and even pilot her “balsa de madera” (wooden raft) through life’s waters. The lyrics juggle contradictions: he is both "inocente" and "culpable," a restless vagabond yet eager to find a home in her arms. This playful list of identities underlines an unconditional devotion that embraces every imperfect layer of the beloved.
Beneath the humor and swagger, the song hides a longing for stability. Calamaro dreams of living “la vida entera” like a student on the first day of spring—carefree, first-class, and full of wonder—while admitting he often roams the world feeling alone. His ultimate wish? To return to the waiting “princesa vampira” who truly gets him. With rock swagger and poetic flair, “La Parte De Adelante” reminds learners that love can be messy, contradictory, and gloriously all-consuming—yet still the best seat on the ride.
