Antes Lyrics in English Jay Wheeler

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Antes by Jay Wheeler from Spanish to English.
Last night I called you and you didn't answer
Time has gone by and I don't know if you forgot
Maybe I was the one who f*cked up what you created
I wish I could go back even though nothing is like before
Babe, give me a chance
This doesn't have to end
No matter how much you deny it
I know that you can't forget me
Before the world ends
I want to start again
I know that you cried, but I swear
That this time it's not gonna be the same
Don't let it end
If you love me and you know it
I know that nothing is eternal
But if we're not together it's hell
We're made for each other, your friends tell you
And they say you might not find another like me
I know that you miss me even if you don't say it anymore
And if I text you it's that loneliness makes me
We walk with broken hearts
I know that nobody understands what's ours
The memories that our photos hold
You still love me, I can tell from afar
We walk with broken hearts
I know that nobody understands what's ours
The memories that our photos hold
You still love me, I can tell from afar
Before the world ends
I want to start again
I know that you cried, but I swear
That this time it's not gonna be the same
Don't let it end
If you love me and you know it
I know that nothing is eternal
But if we're not together it's hell
It's hell
Yey-ye, yey-yey
Before, before

SONG MEANING

“Antes” turns heartbreak into a last-minute love mission. In this smooth reggaetón ballad, Puerto Rican singer Jay Wheeler picks up the phone, only to be met with silence from the person he still loves. He admits his mistakes, questions whether she has already moved on, and begs for one more chance before “the world ends.” His words overflow with regret and urgency: memories in old photos still burn, loneliness pushes him to text, and life without her feels like an “infierno.”

The song’s core message is both simple and relatable: true love can survive rough patches if both hearts are willing to try again. Wheeler reassures his partner that things will be different this time, reminding her that they are “tal para cual”—made for each other. “Antes” is a plea not to let pride or fear erase something special, inviting listeners to feel the blend of vulnerability and hope that comes with trying to rewrite a love story before it’s too late.
