Antes Que No Lyrics in English David Bisbal

Home / Lyrics Translation / David Bisbal / Antes Que No

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Antes Que No by David Bisbal from Spanish to English.

I tell you that I was born

With the sun in winter

I am one of those who saw

The glass half full

If there's a drop in me

Of rage, I swallow it

In a hostile land I will have sown

Chorus 1

You shout at me and I'll listen to you

You push me and I'll hug you

Rather than no

I prefer to think that it's possible

To touch the sun

Chorus 1

To reach heaven before it closes

I prefer to think that it's possible

Verse 1

As a kid I discovered

The sea in a mirror

Verse 1

Looking at it, I learned

That there's no evil in its reflection

Verse 1

A few years later

And the same love beating

Verse 1

You'll never have to suffer because of me

Chorus 2

You shout at me and I'll listen to you

You push me and I'll hug you

Rather than no

I prefer to think that it's possible

To touch the sun

Chorus 2

To reach heaven before it closes

I prefer to think that it's possible

Rather than no

I prefer to think that it's possible

To touch the sun

Chorus 2

To reach heaven before it closes

I prefer to think that it's possible

Bridge

I want to imagine

That desire doesn't end in me

Bridge

And your soul will wake up

I know that behind so much crying

A smile sleeps

Chorus 3

Rather than no

I prefer to think that it's possible

To touch the sun

Chorus 3

To reach heaven before it closes

I prefer to think that it's possible

Rather than no

I prefer to think that it's possible

To touch the sun

Chorus 3

To reach heaven before it closes

I prefer to think that it's possible

Outro

I prefer to think that it's possible

SONG MEANING

“Antes Que No” is David Bisbal’s sparkling pep-talk in song form. Over energetic Latin-pop beats, the Spanish superstar celebrates an unshakable glass-half-full attitude: he was “born with the sun in winter,” sees mirrors as oceans, and swallows any trace of anger before it can grow. Each verse paints daily struggles as fertile soil where hope can be planted, while the soaring chorus repeats the mantra “Prefiero pensar que sí se puede” (I prefer to believe it’s possible). The message is clear: when life pushes you, answer with a hug; when doubt whispers no, shout yes even louder.

Listen for the childlike wonder, the promise of unconditional support, and the conviction that behind every tear sleeps a smile. Bisbal invites us to reach for the sun, touch the sky, and keep our desires alive, reminding learners that optimism is not naïve — it is a courageous choice. By the final refrain, you will feel ready to trade hesitation for hope and dance your way toward whatever dream is waiting.
