Meaning
Life goes on / There are plenty of fish in the sea
Example
Depois que acabei meu casamento, começaram a aparecer pretendentes. A fila anda!
After I ended my marriage, suitors started showing up. Life goes on!
Origin
A fila anda ("the queue moves") takes the everyday image of a line at a bank or a shop: those at the front leave, and everyone else steps forward. Applied to life, it means time keeps moving and people move on, most often said after a breakup to signal that someone has stopped waiting and found other options.
