pa' lante

In Latin American and especially Puerto Rican slang, it's a contraction of "para adelante" or "forward."

Un, dos, tres, un pasito pa' lante Maria! (One, two, three, one little step forward, Maria!) -- Ricky Martin song

The Puerto Rican drag queens in RuPaul's drag race have the motto "echa pa' lante." (Go forward.)
