ANTES QUE SE ACABE – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English

Lyrics & Translation

"ANTES QUE SE ACABE" is an essential track for understanding conversational Spanish, especially in a philosophical and reflective context. You can learn idiomatic phrases about self-acceptance and living for the moment, such as the famous line, "Llorar nunca ha sido un delito" (Crying has never been a crime). The song is special for its shift in sound, blending 'happy trap' and electronic elements to deliver a profound message of peace and unity in the face of life's unpredictable nature.

[English]

And may they receive peace from me always, a lot of peace - But above all a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot

Yeh-yeh, yeh-yeh, yeh-yeh-yeh - Yeh-yeh-yeh

Yeh, ey

One day good, the other bad - That's life and that's not gonna change

Sometimes to smile you have to cry - Close your eyes and learn to fly, ah

And before all this ends - I'm gonna live my life, if I die I'm happy

And today I want alcohol and excessive sex - Instead of giving you problems, I'd rather give you a kiss

And before all this ends - I'm gonna live my life, if I die I'm happy

And today I want alcohol and excessive sex - Instead of giving you problems, I'd rather give you a kiss-oh-oh

Come on-Come on - Instead of giving you problems, I'd rather give you a kiss

Before-Before it e—, it ends-ends - Before-Before it e—, it ends-ends

(Come on-Come on) - Before-Before it e—, it ends-ends

I'm gonna live to cry, I'm gonna live

A shot of love on the house, my treat - To celebrate that we breathe that smoke

Crying has never been a crime - And the rainy days are sometimes the most beautiful

But today the sun came out and I feel better,

Eh-eh, eh - The bad things passed, time is my doctor

Life is a movie, I'm my own director - Turn it on-Turn it on, and bring me the alcohol

I don't have time to hold a grudge - I don't fight anymore, and even less if it's about alcohol

Embrace your brother and don't look at the color - Here we are all the same, eh

How much you love, that's what you're worth - Today I'm going to do a trick on the longboard,

But if I don't pull it off (But if I don't pull it off)

Before all this ends - I'm gonna live my life, if I die I'm happy

(Come on, come on) - And today I want alcohol and excessive sex

Instead of giving you problems, I'd rather give you a kiss

And before all this ends - I'm gonna live my life, if I die I'm happy

(Come on, come on) And today I want alcohol and excessive sex - Instead of giving you problems, I'd rather give you a kiss

Before-Before it e—, it ends-ends - Before-Before it e—, it ends-ends

Before-Before it e—, it ends-ends - I'm gonna live to cry, I'm gonna live

Love

Un día bien, al otro mal Así e' la vida y eso no va a cambiar

A vece' para sonreír hay que llorar Cierra los ojos y aprende a volar, ah

Y antes que se acabe to' esto Voy a vivir mi vida, si me muero e' contento

Y hoy quiero alcohol y sexo en excеso Pa' darte problema' mejor tе doy un beso

Y antes que se acabe to' esto Voy a vivir mi vida, si me muero e' contento

Y hoy quiero alcohol y sexo en exceso Pa' darte problema' mejor te doy un beso-oh-oh

Un shot de amor por la casa que yo invito Pa' celebrar que respiramo' ese humito

Llorar nunca ha sido un delito Y los día' lluvioso' a vece' son lo' más bonito'

Pero hoy salió el sol y me siento mejor,

Eh-eh, eh Lo malo pasó, el tiempo es mi doctor

La vida e' una movie, soy mi propio director Prendan-Prendan, y traiganme el alcohol

Que no tengo tiempo pa' guardar rencor Ya no cojo lucha, y meno' si es un alcohol

Abraza a tu hermano y no mires el color Que aquí to' somo' iguale', eh

Cuanto tú ames, eso es lo que vales Hoy voy a hacer un truco en la longboard,

Pero si no me sale (Pero si no me sale)

Antes que se acabe todo esto Voy a vivir mi vida, si me muero e' contento

(Dale, dale) Y hoy quiero alcohol y sexo en exceso

Pa' darte problema' mejor te doy un beso

Y antes que se acabe to' esto Voy a vivir mi vida, si me muero e' contento

(Dale, dale) Y hoy quiero alcohol y sexo en exceso Pa' darte problema' mejor te doy un beso

Antes-Antes que se a—, que se acabe-cabe Antes-Antes que se a—, que se acabe-cabe

Antes-Antes que se a—, que se acabe-cabe Voy a vivir pa' llorar, voy a vivir
