Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Como Un Atleta by Carlos Baute from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Today I woke up really excited

And eager to change and see the world triumph

A good breakfast with my little coffee

Those ones that help you and wake up your destiny

Chorus 1

And I lean out the window, the sun lit me up

And I felt that inside me everything was changing

Suddenly now I feel that everything is already fine

I finally found a way out, yeah yeah

When I barely get up

My goal begins

Chorus 1

My eyes that sing

My throat dances

Chorus 1

These months were

Timeless and eternal

Chorus 1

Sometimes you have to approach life like an athlete

Like an athlete

Verse 2

These days were more than complicated

The kind that leave you wounded forever

I know that it isn't that easy, step into my shoes

In this life you have to keep fighting and pedaling

Chorus 2

And I lean out the window, the sun lit me up

And I felt that inside me everything was changing

Suddenly now I feel that everything is already fine

I finally found a way out

When I barely get up

My goal begins

Chorus 2

My eyes that sing

My throat dances

Chorus 2

These months were

Timeless and eternal

Chorus 2

Sometimes you have to approach life like an athlete

Bridge

Wayo, waye

Ilarilé

Bridge

Wayo, waye

I dream of a better world, alone

Wayo, waye

There's no more time to lose

Chorus 3

When I barely get up

My goal begins

Chorus 3

My eyes that sing

My throat dances

Chorus 3

These months were

Timeless and eternal

Chorus 3

Sometimes you have to approach life like an athlete

Outro

Wayo, waye

Ilarilé

Outro

Wayo, waye

Sometimes you have to approach life like an athlete

SONG MEANING

Como Un Atleta bursts out of bed with an infectious shot of optimism. Over a bright Latin pop beat, Venezuelan-Spanish singer Carlos Baute describes a perfect morning ritual: strong coffee, sunshine pouring through the window, and a sudden feeling that everything can change for the better. He cheers for a world that wins, for voices that sing and throats that dance, turning an everyday sunrise into a personal victory lap.

The hook reveals the song’s mantra: “La vida a veces hay que plantearla como un atleta” – life works best when you train for it like an athlete. Baute acknowledges that recent months have felt “timeless and eternal,” full of setbacks that leave lasting scars, yet his answer is relentless perseverance. Set a goal the moment you wake up, keep pedaling through the hard days, and chant the joyful “Wayo, waye” refrain as a rallying cry. The result is a feel-good anthem that transforms discipline into celebration and reminds us that with a little daily hustle, the sun can light up our path too.
